We have known Bruce Pinckard, the mayor of Annetta, for several years and have worked with him on several projects. We know how he has worked with the members of our community, and have seen what kind of man he is. We were extremely pleased to learn that he has made the decision to run for re-election.

What Easter Sunday means to me
What is Easter? It is not a spring holiday although this designation has become part of it.

NOW HEAR THIS: Seeing the world with our own eyes
While the genetics of our ancestors greatly influence our being, we are all significantly shaped and molded by our environment. Every aspect of where we lived, how we lived, and what we did during our time on earth has made an impression on every facet of our being.
