Volume 3, Number 160

Good Morning. It’s Saturday, October 22, 2022

It’s always fun to watch the high schoolers in the homecoming parade, which took place yesterday morning, and hours later, the Warriors took a much-needed football victory. I wrote the football story late last night and will follow with the homecoming story and gallery later today.

A very crazy stretch of news (and sick kids at home) has forced some of my writing into next week, including a report out of Thursday night’s School Board meeting.

Thanks for reading!
