To the editor: Knowing that there are two sides to every story, with the truth being somewhere near the middle, I feel a need to share some ten years of observing a man I have always held a lot of respect for. For approximately 10 of my 32 years in education, I worked under the principalship of a man who was, and still is, in my opinion, extremely knowledgeable, more than supportive, fair in his dealings with you, truly interested in you, both as an employee and a person, fair in his evaluations, offering both constructive criticism and praise, someone who seeks to make things better for the common good, a man who gives tirelessly of himself in endeavors he undertakes. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Beetles battle invasive plants
Showy purple loosestrife is bearing its color, which makes this the perfect time for the two largest lake associations in the county to attack the pest.
