After taking last year off due to the pandemic, the Rising Sun High School cheerleaders were back for their third year hosting Princess Night May 21. The annual fundraiser raises money for the cheer squad and is put on by the cheerleaders, their coaches, and parent volunteers.

Workers with the Rising Sun Street Department recently painted a red line in between the double yellow line already dividing the part of High Street that runs in front of the Rising Sun Volunteer Fire Department. The red line was added to show respect and appreciation for the local fire department and its volunteers. The idea was introduced a few months ago when Rising Sun resident Sunshine Colen saw the idea on Facebook and proposed that the city paint blue lines on the streets in front of and beside the Rising Sun Police Department. The city implemented her idea and followed it up with also recognizing the firefighters. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Another animal was taken to the Red Wolf Sanctuary where it was rehabilitated and will eventually be released back into the wild. A snapping turtle, named Sigmund, had been run over and suffered from severe cracks in its shell and jaw.
