Letter: Cemetery Tour

Ben Burris writes:
For the sake of clarity, it might be of benefit to those wishing to attend this event that it specifically state WHICH cemetery the event will be held. I think most know, but if they all show up at Haven Hill they could be in for a lousy experience.
Ben is absolutely right. We've double-checked, and the tour will meet at the usual spot, at the edge of the Judicial Center parking area at Merchant and Monroe Streets. We've updated the original article with the location.

Skunks could possibly be good neighbors - if managed

A skunk is reportedly pilfering cat food in New Columbia/Greater Bliss. Vicky Pike shared farm news from her location in New Columbia/Greater Bliss in a video of a skunk ambling to the doorstep food bowl.

Letter: Vicky Pike is right about Fiscal Court

George Kolbenschlag writes:
I agree with Vickie Pike wholeheartedly. It's time our Adair fiscal court huddles and comes out with some winning plays! The court is almost (but not quite) as bad as our Federal Congress. Let's forget our personal feelings towards our colleagues and get something done! And let's start with making our Adair Sheriff's department the best in the state. Sheriff Brockman was doing a great job of moving toward that goal in spite of the Fiscal Court's inability to buckle-up and find a way to pay him and his deputies a fair wage.

This whole thing reminds me of skit on Saturday Night Live.
