    This year marks a change in leadership in Eminence Independent Schools’ theatre program. The revamped program’s first show, Disney’s The Little Mermaid, was performed last week on Thursday and Friday, and was met with sold out crowds and excellent community response.

    Alethea Coffee, the family liaison for Eminence schools, leads the new program. Coffee says that she hopes the program can give “a voice to the voiceless,” in the school system.

  • District 3 Magistrate Primary Candidates

    Which of the county resources (fire department, sheriff’s department, etc.) do you feel deserves the most attention, financially?

    Morris: Fire departments. There are several satellite departments scattered throughout the county. These departments carry a fire rating protection class of 9. Ratings run 1 through 10, with 10 being the highest insurance price. I would like to focus on these departments by assisting financially, or grants to better equip them and improve the ratings, which in turn would decrease the residential insurance costs.
