Family Grateful for First Responders

Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/27/2021 - 8:15am

Dear Editor,
I would like to thank the Monticello Chief of Police Szvon Conway and Deputy Payton Ray with the Green County Sheriff’s Office, and some unknown local people who stopped at the scene of the accident on Hefty Road and Highway 69 on January 19th. My wife hit an icy patch and lost control of car, and rolled over upside-down in a creek, with our 5-month-old 60 lbs puppy.
Car was totaled and puppy was rescued; it’s special people like these that make a difference in the world!!!
THANKS SO MUCH to all, and also Monticello Fire Department and Monroe EMS!!!!

<strong>Lieut. Irma Klassy Writes From Cebu</strong>
<i>Cebu, P.I., January 18, 1946</i>
Dear Editor:
While I am sitting here on the ward (which by the way is filled with natives in varying degrees of illness and injury) with nothing to do because of the competency of the native Registered Nurses and nurse’s aids. I thought perhaps you back in the Stateside might like a bit of a description of the Island of Cebu.

<strong>2020: What a Year!</strong>
Good things happen at Green County Development Corporation (GCDC) every day! But I must admit, there were days in 2020 when it was harder to name those good things. As we begin the new year, it’s good to take a moment to reflect on our journey through 2020.
