There is just no way to thank so many people in every corner of our county for their generous response to those in need this year. The collections of cash, clothing, food, gifts and toys were overflowing and overwhelming!
We would especially like to thank those who gave of their valuable time, to come and help sort, pack and distribute the baskets.
Perhaps the words of one recipient best expresses the gratitude of all:
“I would like to express my sincere thanks to all those involved with Caring and Sharing this year.

Now that the Greenville High School Comets' football season has ended, I would like to take this opportunity to voice some concerns.
When does friendly rivalry cross the boundary lines?
I, like many other people, live in Vandalia and work in Greenville. I have heard numerous rumors about the Vandalia-Greenville football game. Our quarterback did receive two cracked vertebrae in his neck, and thank goodness is out of his neck brace now and doing well.

With the election coming up next Tuesday, I've heard some people saying that they're not going to vote because they don't feel that their vote will count.
But it does.
Hitler became chancellor of Germany by one vote.
It is your civic duty to vote on election day. It doesn't take very long to cast your ballot for your favorite candidate.
Please get out and vote on Nov. 6.

Vandalia has a beautiful lake, but it could be a better campground if it was better organized.
My issue is that in January 2012 we booked the Vandalia Lake Pavilion for Oct. 21, 2012. We were planning a “chili dump and wiener roast,” and were expecting in excess of 100 people from all over the state.
