Main Street Ripley got good news from the July 21 meeting of the Jackson County Commission. The Alpine Theatre will reap the benefit.
Commissioners Dick Waybright, Mitch Morrison and Mike Randolph approved $15,000 for repairs to the historic theatre in Ripley.
Speaking after the meeting, Sally Blessing, Main Street acting director, said the funds will be used to start on a priority list.
“The first order of precedence is some sort of gutter guards,” she said. “A lot of our water issues stem from those gutters. After that we’ll deal with roof drainage.”
Blessing said an additional benefit of receiving the funds is the ability to fill the matching portion of grants the organization will be seeking.

Training for a long-touted crisis-intervention team in Nashville began this week for 16 Metro Nashville Police Department officers and six mental health counselors.
The city already has a mobile crisis team but is adding a new approach in which police officers and mental health professionals respond simultaneously to 911 emergencies involving people with mental health issues. I’m totally committed. I’m totally excited you volunteered to be a part of this, Nashville police Chief John Drake told the test team inside a Mental Health Cooperative classroom in Metro Center. Whatever resources we need to put into it, we will.
