SUMMARY: The Junior Auxiliary of New Albany, led by President Susie Bowman, is excited to announce new changes, including the establishment of the Crown Club, a youth civic group aimed at fostering community service among local young women. This initiative responds to a decline in adult participation and includes 40 young ladies selected from nominations by local educators. The Crown Club will assist with charity projects, such as the upcoming Mother-Son Ball on November 16, which will help raise funds for community needs, including clothing for families in need. The event is open to all Union County residents.

SUMMARY: After nearly two hours of deliberation, the jury found Carly Madison Gregg guilty on all charges, including the murder of her mother, Ashley Smiley, attempted murder of her stepfather, Heath Smiley, and tampering with evidence. Gregg was sentenced to two life sentences without parole and ten years for tampering with evidence. Defense attorney Kevin Camp acknowledged the case’s difficulty and stated they rejected a 40-year plea deal offered by the state. State Attorney Katherine Newman said life imprisonment was the only suitable sentence. Judge Arthur ruled that all sentences will be served concurrently. An appeal is planned within 40 days.
