PLYMOUTH – The Marshall County Council held a discussion with county financial advisor Steve Dalton regarding a proposal to

restructure the Local Income Tax currently paying the debt on the construction of the Marshall County Jail.
The Council will have the option to continue that tax, once the bonds are paid in full in 2027. The bond was initially issued in 2008 and refinanced in 2014. It currently takes in $20 million per year, 80 percent goes to other taxing units in the county with $4 million or 20 percent available for special purposes involving the jail and the courts.
Dalton had good news regarding the effect on the county’s tax rate.

He said that further work will need to be done on the proposal to determine exactly what expenses are allowed by statute to be paid for the courts and county 911.
The Council will consider the final proposal in their August 10 meeting with the final vote set in September.

PLYMOUTH – The city of Plymouth Board of Works and Safety approved a contract for initial engineering with USI for the Oak Drive project.

The total amount will be $841,000, with the City of Plymouth responsible for 20 percent and the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) responsible for 80 percent.
The proposal is to create a sidewalk on the east side of the road from Lake Avenue at Washington Discovery Academy to Jefferson Street, and then create sidewalks on both sides of the road from Jefferson to US 30.
Plymouth City Engineer Dan Sellers said the project will also include another facet at Pidco Drive.

Actual construction on the project isn’t expected before 2031.

Average gasoline prices in Indiana have risen 19.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.23/g today, according to

GasBuddy’s survey of 3,271 stations in Indiana. Prices in Indiana are 10.0 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 18.7 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has increased 9.6 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $4.854 per gallon.
Locally the lowest reported prices in several local communities:
Pulaski County
Winamac — $3.29
Francesville — $3.39
Medaryville — $3.19

The national average price of gasoline has risen 10.3 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.82/g today.
“The national average price of gasoline has seen its first weekly increase since May 11, snapping a streak of eight straight weekly declines, with prices climbing in nearly four out of five states,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “The turnaround comes as oil prices have surged following the collapse of the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran and the start of new attacks, with oil jumping another 4% in Sunday evening trading, an ominous sign that could bring additional gas and diesel price increases in the week ahead. While the pace of increases doesn’t yet appear likely to match what motorists experienced in March and April, fresh Ukrainian attacks on additional Russian refineries will only add to the pressure, keeping supplies of refined products tight even as the situation remains fluid.”

CULVER — The Culver Town Council held a work session before its regular monthly meeting on Thursday night with those

involved with the redevelopment of the Culver theatre property on Lakeshore Drive in downtown Culver.
Demolition of the old structure took place on July 6, 2026, and the non-profit group — the Maxinkuckee Performing Arts Theater Foundation (MPAT) — has been working with the Town since early this year and has been raising money and planning the replacement of the historic structure with a larger, modern performing arts venue. Early in the year, the group contracted with a small theatre business consultant — Webb Management Services — to undertake several studies.
Kurt Neubauer – President of MPAT — reported to the Council on the initial studies by Webb.

Current plans would include two multi-purpose rooms, a flat-floored performance area and retractable seating, along with a catering kitchen and currently the possibility of a dining area on the roof of the structure.

For more information, you can visit CulverTheater.org

With that, the town of Culver became the latest community to approve a DORA, or a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area, in

the downtown. The measure passed unanimously with overwhelming public support during the public meeting. No attendees spoke against the measure.
A DORA is a state-authorized district where adults 21 and older can purchase alcoholic beverages from participating vendors and consume them outdoors within specifically marked boundaries. Authorized in Indiana in 2023, over 50 Hoosier communities have adopted these zones to boost downtown foot traffic and support local businesses.
Culver joins Rochester, Goshen and Warsaw as towns with a DORA.

The South Bend Police Department is investigating the disappearance of Carlito Chism, a 8 year old black male, 5 foot tall, 65

pounds, black hair with brown eyes, last seen wearing a multicolored shirt and khaki pants, Carlito was last seen with his mother Carrie V Crawford a 38 black female 5 foot, 190 pounds, black hair and brown eyes. Both are believed to be on foot, and Carrie Crawford is believed to be armed and dangerous.

Carlito is missing from South Bend, Indiana which is 147 miles north of Indianapolis and was last seen on Sunday, July 12, 2026 at 11:30 am.  He is believed to be in extreme danger. 

If you have any information on Carlito Chism, contact the South Bend Police Department at 574-235-9201 or 911.

PLYMOUTH — The Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office announced the filing of charges against Bobbie Jo Novak today regarding an infant kidnapping investigation which began earlier this week.

In the late morning hours of Tuesday, July 7, 2026, deputies with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department were dispatched regarding a three-month-old child who had just been taken from his home on Del-Lo-Me Lane just east of Plymouth. Officers were able to get a description of the suspect from the child’s mother and a general description of the vehicle from neighbors in the area. The suspect, later identified as Bobbi Jo Novak, was an acquaintance of the child’s mother. Officers with the Indiana State Police and Plymouth Police Department arrived to assist with locating Novak and the child.
Once the vehicle Novak had been driving was identified, officers obtained the license plate number. They then began using FLOCK Safety Cameras to search for the vehicle and began issuing an AMBER Alert.
The Department of Justice requires certain criteria be met before an AMBER Alert can issue, one of which is that there is enough descriptive information to release about the victim and the abduction to assist in the recovery of the child, including the suspect’s license plate. However, before the AMBER Alert could be completed, officers had already located the vehicle in Merrillville, Indiana, using FLOCK Safety Cameras that had photographed it along her route of travel through Starke, Porter, and Lake Counties.
The Merrillville Police Department was alerted to the situation, and officers were able to successfully apprehend Novak without incident, as well as safely recover the child, who was not harmed during the ordeal. Novak later admitted to taking the child and transporting him across county lines for personal reasons.
The Prosecutor’s Office has filed two counts of Kidnapping as Level 5 Felonies, one for the kidnapped person being under the age of 14 and one for kidnapping with the use of a vehicle. Novak is currently being held no bond until she has an initial hearing before the Court, currently scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, 2026 in Marshall Superior Court 3.
The Prosecutor’s Office would like to thank all agencies involved in this investigation for their considerable efforts to recover this child quickly and safely, before any more serious offenses could be committed.
The charging information filed in this case is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a Court of Law.

PLYMOUTH — The City of Plymouth will have its meetings on Monday, July 13, 2026, starting with the Board of Public Works

and Safety at 6 p.m.
Among the items on that agenda are reports from the city Department Heads, an agreement for consulting on the Oak Drive project, an evidentiary hearing for a lot at NorthGate, and a request from JLBS Construction and a sidewalk request from Marilyn King.
At the conclusion of that meeting, the Plymouth Common Council will have its meeting. On that agenda are second and third readings of an ordinance amending the fee schedule for the Department of Aviation, and updates on ONE Marshall County and the Comprehensive Plan.
Both meetings will be held in the Council Chambers on the second floor of the city building; those attending should enter through the Garro Street entrance.
