Hello dear readers!
I hope you haven’t gotten whatever germ is going around, but if you have, I’m raising my 47th mug of tea to your restored health, and mine. I have been sick with this bug for what feels like forever. Even so, there’s no days off in community newspaper-ing, so we’ve got a paper, same as always! The podcast will be delayed until I get my voice back, though.
WIthout further ado, here are the top stories from the Jan. 11 edition!
