As many of you know, James F. Walden has reached the 100 year milestone and has been a blessing to so many people over the years. I’m humbly trying to write a tribute to help celebrate his life. If anyone wants to share a special memory, send it to [email protected] by tonight and I will try to include in the newspaper this week. He has been a longtime subscriber. Thanks!

Looking to honor the late Wanda Flynn with a feature article and would like to include memories from those who were friends, relatives or former students.

We printed the Homecoming Court with some mismatched photos and names — it went to print that way, and we apologize for the mistake and any confusion it caused. The e-edition has been corrected — seems our captions wandered off their assigned spots.

Printed color copies of the corrected Homecoming Court section have been left at Express Mart in Vernon for anyone who would like one. Special thanks to Phillip at Express Mart for catching the mismatched photos and names, and thanks to Expression for the lovely portraits.

For anyone wanting to see the revised edition, we’re offering a free 48-hour e-edition pass this week. To request a pass, please email [email protected]
Thank you for your patience.
