LAGRANGE COUNTY, Ind. – LaGrange County Sheriff Jeff Campos announced that the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association will again be awarding college scholarships.

STROH â When the sun goes down, it used to get pretty dark on the streets around Stroh.
Now, thanks to a group of Stroh business owners, many of whom are members of the recently formed Stroh Community Improvement League, new bright overhead street lights have popped up on utility poles around town, lighting up Stroh.
More than a dozen new overhead streetlights burn bright each night lighting up town, and no one is happier to see those lights come on than Eric Perkins, chairman of the community league.
âItâs pretty cool,â he said.
The league was born about two years ago, formed at the request of Bruce Bowman, the township trustee. Stroh was entitled to a share of the money collected in a local Economic Development Income Tax fund, but without a not-for-profit group like the Stroh Community Improvement League leading the way, it was hard to tap into those funds to make improvements around town.
