LTP seeking sponsors

    “We are in our 42nd season, now, getting ready to go into our 43rd,” said Karen Hopkins, vice president of Little Town Players’ (LTP) board of directors.

Sheriff won’t respond

    Sheriff Brown just won’t respond to my editorials, poor fella. He wants his picture in the paper and on TV. If he’ll answer truthfully, which is not likely, I can almost guarantee he’ll get his picture in the paper.
