It appears that even our sleepy little hamlet is just as susceptible to the scourge of passing fashion as any other town. Out only a few days, it seems half the town is now obsessed with this Pokemon Go game. For those that aren’t familiar with it, Pokemon is a Japanese kids game 30-year-olds play […]
Welcome. This is the Community Bulletin for the week of July 9th, 2013 Friday night’s Town Council meeting was packed, having to be moved and reconvened twice in order to accommodate the crowd. First it moved from the meeting room at the Museum out into the Museum proper, as the air in the room […]
This weekend only, everyone that walks in the door at Edna’s get a free cup of coffee and a club sandwich. This gift courtesy Marsha Sims and her incredible Christmas find. Using video recordings of various meteor showers and some math well above what any of us at the Press ever conquered, she managed to […]
Except for a couple of utility workers that had wanted to buy smokes, nobody noticed that Stumpy’s didn’t open until nearly noon. Likewise, Southside Auto is taking the rest of the day off. As for Edna’s, well, Edna was open at the crack of dawn as usual. When asked, Edna was curt, saying “Just because […]
If you are reading this on July 4th, chances are you aren’t currently living in town, or have good reception on your phone. Last night’s “fireworks show” was the result of the substation down the road exploding. Looking at the carnage, local experts say it looks like somebody hurled some lawn chairs over the fence […]
Welcome aboard! This is your community update for the week of July 2nd. Well, if there was any doubt that summer was upon us, apart from the heat and the tomatoes starting to set, local police are dealing with the first waves of bored teenagers. As is tradition, they migrate from the next town over […]
Mr. Singh came by the museum today along with Chief Wells to discuss what we have learned about the scouts’ misadventures. After interviewing all of the boys, it seems they were on the third day of their trip and had done a plant identification exercise, particularly for things you could survive on if you were […]
Search and Rescue has been out with search dogs looking for the scoutmaster. They have found several very minimalist camps and the trail has lead them all over the south ridge and deep into the national forest. It’s almost as if this guy doesn’t want to be found. So, he seems to be alive and […]
Sources close to the Mayor have informed us that three more competing offers have come in for parcels surrounding the quarry. There seems to be some overlap, but that all of them include the problematic “North Parcel 5.” When we asked the Mayor about this, he stuck his head out into his reception area and […]
This is your Community Bulletin for the week of June 25th, 2016. And wow, what a week. First off, the scouts: The first boys that were rescued have all been returned to their parents after getting their statements. It seems that the ninth boy, Francis, is still speaking incoherently, but has calmed down and is […]
Six years. Now, I’m telling you, if you called a plumber and he said it would be six hours before he could fix a clogged toilet, you’d keep calling around for other options. If the EMT said it would be six minutes before he’d bother doin’ CPR on ya, you’d stay alive probably outta sheer […]
