                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Perry County is a county located in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of 
Indiana. As of 2020, the population was 19,170. The county seat is Tell City. It is 
the hilliest county as well as one of the most forested counties in Indiana as it 
features more than 60,000 acres (240 km) of Hoosier National Forest. The Ohio River 
Scenic Byway along Indiana State Road 66 runs along the southern border of the county 
while Interstate 64 traverses the northern portion of the county. Connecting the two 
is Indiana State Road 37. The county features three incorporated communities: Tell 
City (2009 population 7,473), Cannelton (2009 population 1,130) and Troy (2009 
population 379). Each is located in Troy Township which is situated along the south 
western corner of the county.

                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon LIN TIRIAN, 
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  SHARDS had cause to celebrate, after EDGLI got 
13 points by beating TIKI.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and 
practice more, after losing 11 points to EDGLI.  (Discrete enough, TIKI?) Those who 
hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by SILVER STUD, of HOWLIN CASE, who 
despite a 9-3-0 couldn't overcome LIN TIRIAN's Number 1.  Word has it one team in LIN 
TIRIAN is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of HOWLIN CASE, alone and unchallenged.  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of ALASD, so did that sorry team shy 
from HOWLIN CASE If challenges were horses, APALONA could open up a fast food joint!  
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen 
into an unconscious stupor.   
     Do not think spyreporting in LIN TIRIAN is the highlight of my life.  As if 
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.  
Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid LIN TIRIAN farewell-- 
Novgorodny Vir
