An invitation to hear a distinguished Norwell grad
We would like to invite the public to join Norwell High School juniors and seniors on Friday, May 10, at 8:30 a.m. to hear a presentation by Dr. Mark Drabenstott.

In his May 2 letter to the editor, Mike Row asks a very important question – If Wells County signs an agreement with Apex Wind Energy, will the citizens of Wells County be protected from financial risk? Simply...

In response to Jim Richardson’s letter to the editor,
