   Friends and fellow church goers are rallying to help a family whose home was completely destroyed by fire on Jan. 12.
    T.J. Wright and Dawn Trumbo and four children awoke to find their house on fire. They barely had time to get out of the home on Frank Myers Road near the Henry County line - and came away with almost none of their possessions.
    The home was a total loss, with damages to it and the contents estimated at $150,000, according to Cambridge City Fire Chief David Shank. He said the fire started in the flue of a wood-burning stove that was in the basement. For more of this story please subscribe!

Town May Condemn Burned Property

By Jenny Pugh
    Cambridge City Town Council will begin condemnation proceedures on a Main Street property that was the site of two fires in recent weeks.
    At its Jan. 11 meeting, the Council agreed that the property at 408 W. Main Street falls under Indiana state law’s definition of an unsafe structure.
    The presently vacant house and property has been the subject of much debate at previous council meetings. Neighbors have complained about the large number of cats residing there, the general condition of the property, both inside and out, and the odor which is reported to be especially strong on hot, summer days.
