    Shubael Little Pioneer Village once again had a wonderful open house the third weekend of October. A survey at the gate showed that 50 percent of the cars entering had not been here before. Thanks to so many, including the Perry County News, for helping us reach so many new people. We estimate 1,000 guests visited the two days. The following week we hosted 300 school children, teachers and chaperones.

  • LETTER: Blame Bush rant is getting far too old

    While I do not typically respond to letters in a tit-for-tat manner, I must thank Mr. Gray for his excellent reply (“GOP had hand in controversies,” Oct. 27 issue) to my original letter (“Vote for Democrats is vote for Obama record,” Oct. 20 issue).

    In his bloviating, extended rant he perfectly illustrates the liberal mindset. No. 1, distort and confuse the facts while mixing in a few actual truths. No. 2 and most importantly, blame Bush.
