Top 10 stories of 2020 Staff Reports comes down One limb at a time, the locally famous leaning tree came down Sept. 3. For more than 150 years, the tree stood at a 30-degree angle about 3 miles south of Franklin in the 3500 block of Airport Road.

On June 4, Airport Road, also known as Nineveh Road, was closed after an initial inspection determined the tree was unsafe to drive under. Then, in June, two master arborists determined the tree was at “extreme risk” of falling. So, the Johnson County Board of Commissioners voted 3-0 to remove the tree. County officials and local artisans are still looking at ways to preserve the tree, such as a memorial.
Catalytic converters stolen from senior services van Two catalytic converters were stolen from a Johnson County Senior Services van over the weekend. Overnight on Dec. 26, a man reportedly cut off and took two catalytic converters on a van parked at the nonprofit’s new headquarters on Tracy Road in New Whiteland, said Kim Smith, executive director. The entire incident was caught on outdoor security cameras, which shoot quality video in color, even in the dark, and the footage was turned over to the New Whiteland Police Department, Smith said.
