After-school food program starts in Culver

March 22, 2013

CULVER — Every day, between 10 and 40 students arrive at the Culver Public Library after school. Sometimes, they are waiting for a parent to pick them up. Sometimes, they are biding time before a practice or game. Sometimes they are just studying or hanging out. But they have one thing in common — hunger.

If these walls could talk: 103 S. Ohio

March 9, 2013

Continuing our "virtual" journey through the history of various Culver buildings, we're still wandering around notable spots west of Culver's downtown, before heading to another part of town entirely. And, since we strolled by the Culver Post Office last time out, we're now at the door of what is today Culver's only locally-based (if not locally-owned) pharmacy, CVS, at 103 S. Ohio Street.

Among these are longtime residents Ralph and Barbara Winters, who in 1999 developed a set of two-bedroom apartments on the western end of Cass Street.

Housing costs and Culver: the impact on public schools - PART 3 of 4

March 8, 2013

Nearly half of the certified faculty and staff at Culver Community Schools live outside Marshall County, and a tiny handful in Culver proper, but superintendent Brad Schuldt points out that, for the school system, "it's not just about employees.

"Families with young children have difficulty finding housing; that's a major contributor to our declining enrollment."

More, says Schuldt, than what some might assume are major factors, such as quality of the school or competition from charter schools or state-allowed vouchers.

"The biggest reason is jobs and housing opportunities."
