  • Carrollton Manor says thanks for donations

    Editor:

    The residents and staff of Carrollton Manor would like to thank everyone in the community that contributed to the clothing drive/adoption at our facility and to others who have donated clothing, food, knick-knacks and their time. A special thank you to Rev. Tim Polley for organizing the clothing drive/adoption and a very special thank you to Reva McManis, without her taking the first step to make people aware of our residents and their situation none of this could have been possible.

    Thank you again to everyone.

  • Trail ride for Kinman scholarship a success

    Editor:

    The third annual Sheriff Jamie Kinman Scholarship Trail Ride, which took place on Saturday, Oct. 15, was a huge success! The proceeds of the trail ride will benefit local students who plan to attend college, in the form of an academic scholarship. We had around 90 riders this year and raised enough money to give $3,500 in scholarships. I look forward to rewarding students within our community with this money in hopes of allowing them financial relief while striving to follow their dreams.

  • Pledge to be a ‘Co-op Voter’ and vote Nov. 8

    Editor:

    As President and CEO of Owen Electric Cooperative, I care deeply about the  

    communities we serve and want the very best for every one of our members.

    But as the presidential election draws closer, I’m reminded of a troubling  

    statistic. In the 2012 elections, voter turnout in rural communities dropped  

    by 18 percent—twice the decline seen nationally. That means the voice of  

    rural America isn’t resonating as strongly as it should with our elected

  • Hendrick family thanks everyone for support

    Editor:

     The family of Chris Hendrick would like to express our thanks to the people of Carroll County and beyond for their generous outreach to our son and our family. The expressions of thoughts and offers of prayers have been overwhelming. The response to the Go Fund Me account has been humbling.

    The hugs and offers of everything from taking Chris to his treatments to mowing the yard to cooking meals for his family to even cleaning the house have guaranteed that dry eye syndrome is not an issue for us.

  • Historical society seeks new members

    Editor:

    The Port William Historical Society will be hosting an open house/membership drive on Oct. 15, from 1-3 p.m. at the Masterson House on U.S. 42.

    The society has funds thanks to the generosity of Carroll County Fiscal Court and Carrollton City Council. Funds are also generated through membership dues and donations.

    Being a member does not obligate one to attend meetings, which are held the fourth Tuesday of every other month, but any support the public can give the society is deeply appreciated.
