Director – Bruce Jacklin

Described by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written,” Our Town presents the small town of Grover’s Corners in three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage” and “Death and Eternity.” Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, the play depicts the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die. Thornton Wilder’s final word on how he wanted his play performed is an invaluable addition to the American stage and to the libraries of theatre lovers internationally.

What Is Joy?

Joy is more than an emotion. It’s much more deeper and significant than that! There are 9 truths about what joy is that will grow your faith. Joy does not depend on your circumstances, it gives you assurance that God is who he says he is. We also know that the joy of the Lord is strength, that we should count everything as joy, that joy comes in the morning, that we can reap joy. It’s also one of the fruits of the Spirit, and that joy is felt in Heaven too! Finally, you can ask God for joy because you are a child of God.

ADA Forms to benefit residents and first responders are coming to our community

Mount Vernon City Council Member, Amber Keener shared some exciting news with WNZR. The city of Mount Vernon and Knox County are adopting new Residential History ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) forms. These forms will be available for any local citizen that has a disability. The Knox County Ohio First Responders have created this form specifically to help them improve responses to calls. The form provides safety services with an advantage and information before they arrive on scene.
Councilwoman Amber Keener expressed her optimism for this new move by the county stating that she knows this form will help save lives in Mount Vernon and Knox County.

Click HERE to hear our conversation with Amber Keener.

The form is voluntary to fill out and can be found online on the Mount Vernon city website under the documents tab and the Knox County website under the 911 tab. Requests for hard copies can also be made at MVPD and MVFD.

Click HERE to find the form.

The information from the form will be submitted into the Knox Co. Emergency Dispatch CAD system for use by the Knox Co. dispatch team. The purpose of this form is to ensure that dispatchers and emergency response personnel are aware, in advance, of any information they would need to know about people with disabilities in the event of an emergency.

The Mount Vernon Police Department assured in a press conference on Tuesday morning that the information, which is sensitive due to the nature of the subject, will be completely secure. Keywords will be used over the radio calls made by emergency teams to ensure the safety and security of personal information.

Once the form is filled out and submitted, the info will be attached to both the name and address of the person who submitted it. If 911 receives an emergency call from this person or a call for that address, they will be able to send out the information securely to the emergency team responding to the call.

Councilwoman Amber Keener expressed her optimism for this new move by the county stating that she knows this form will help save lives in Mount Vernon and Knox County.
