Ind. Courts - More on: Randolph commissioners rescind plan to demolish courthouse

Updating this ILB entry from Tuesday, titled "Randolph commissioners rescind plan to demolish courthouse," the Indianapolis Star today has a story by Richard D. Walton titled "Naked ambition pays off: Seniors save courthouse." A quOTE:

A vote earlier this week by Randolph County Commissioners to rescind their decision to raze the county courthouse is being credited in part to a calendar featuring apparently nude senior citizens. The seven women -- ages 76 to 94 -- posed to raise money to fight the demolition plans. "We all feel sure that thing would have been long gone if we hadn't done the calendar," said Eileen Herron, an 87-year-old Farmland resident known to calendar buyers as "Miss October."
Upon rereading Tuesday's Star-Press story, I think the Star's report may be a bit too optimistic -- it may not yet be time to breath easy.
