We would like to welcome the (apparently) new editor in chief to the Sun Times News, Ann Thomas. Her factually incorrect and grammatically horrifying "People Post" appeared in the most recent edition of that local bird cage liner. She seems to fit right in. We see that the Sun Times has found a kindred spirit in that they both went to the same school of journalism, where classes on truth and integrity are given daily by such luminaries as the now deceased Richard Nixon (who teaches via seance), Bernard Madoff and John Barleycorn. We're glad they found each other.
The Sun Times, which seems to hesitate in covering any local news and/or events that would shed a positive light on this community, was probably jumping for joy when it received Ms. Thomas' letter (being careful of course, not to tip it's cocktail) - firstly because it didn't have to pay her, and secondly because it was a negative tirade about every governmental entity in this locale.
While we would love to address each and every issue raised by Ms. Thomas, we just don't feel that we could hold your attention that long. What we would like to say is that we are a bit miffed that so much room was given to such a grossly inaccurate submission about Stockbridge. Notice we said miffed - not surprised.
While we can somewhat excuse the errant ramblings of a misguided soul looking for a venue, we still are left to wonder: What's the Sun Times' excuse?
Oh wait - we covered that already.

TOWN HALL MEETING TONIGHT

The Stockbridge Township Board is hosting a Town Hall Meeting tonight October 18 at 7:00 pm in the Township Hall to discuss policing issues. This is YOUR OPPORTUNITY to ASK QUESTIONS, GET ANSWERS, AND BE HEARD! All residents of both the Township and the Village are encouraged to attend!

Saying Good Bye

Today, October 10, 2011, we bid a fond farewell to Stockbridge Treasurer Beth Flynn.
Flynn resigned her position effective immediately.
We will miss her friendly smile, her great attitude, her knowledge and her very real affection for the residents and employees of the Village.
We here at the Stockbridge Citizen-Herald wish her great good fortune at her new job. (which she beat out 200 other applicants for - way to go Beth!)
As another funny lady used to sing: "We're so glad we had this time together, just to have a laugh, or sing a song, seems we just get started and before you know it, comes the time we have to say so long!"
Bye, Beth.
Don't be a stranger.
We'll leave the light on for you.
