    We would like to congratulate Brittany Belcher, who participated and completed the Susan G. Komen three day, 60 mile walk for a cure in Atlanta, Ga. on Oct. 21-23. We are so proud of her for her determination and passion for such a great cause.

  • Changes visible after month away; community loses a treasure with Salyers’ death

    I go away for one month and when I get home there are huge silos in Prestonville. I mentioned it to some folks and they didn’t even know about these new structures, but I ran into Judge Tomlinson Friday and he said it’s something to do with grains.  Then I heard soybeans from someone else. So I guess they are grains? I thought they were legumes, but I’m shaky on my agrarian terms.

    Dateline Panama City Beach.  By the time you read your paper I will be back from spending a month down here at my favorite beach.  We lived near here when I was ages ten through seventeen and I have many great memories of family weekends spent looking for shells and riding the waves.

  • Small actions can make a big difference in the community

    "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

    This quote by anthropologist Margaret Mead was one of my favorites when I was in high school and college because it reminded me that individuals and seemingly small actions can make a big difference in someone’s life. It has been a while since I have read these words, but I think of them now when I reflect on my experience Saturday morning at Project Comfort.

  • Leaf collection delayed, expected to begin soon

    Editor:

    The City of Carrollton ordered a new leaf machine in July of this year.  Delivery was supposed to be Oct. 1, but due to a shortage of 80 horsepower motors, delivery was moved to Oct. 18. 

    On Oct. 17 we received a call from the company that delivery was moved to Oct. 25.  The water pump on our old machine went out, and we sent it off through a local company for repair. They lost the pump and are trying to get a new one, but have not been successful.
