Can’t ever do too much for veterans
We applaud Officer Adams and the young people at Valley Center Middle School, but we know that the spotlight belongs to the 150 or so military veterans who came to last week's event. All gratitude belongs to them.

Drainage plan moves Boardwalk development forward David Dinell
Business development can bring new issues to tackle. The Kechi City Council found that out Nov. 12 when it had to take on the topic of drainage at the proposed Boardwalk development northeast of the corner of Oliver and Kechi Road. The private project is slated to bring new shops and a restaurant to town, businesses the council certainly wants.
