Here are some of the issues that area residents are discussing. The statements were phoned in anonymously, so the Courier does not vouch for their veracity, nor do we know what motivated the callers:

I’m a resident here in town, and it was the nicest thing to go out and get my paper this morning and find a Christmas card from the carrier. How utterly awesome. Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you, too.

Man makes the money; money doesn’t make the man.
