The website is great!! I’m deployed in Iraq right now and I check it every chance I get.

Helps me get a little taste of home while I’m away.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Thumbs Down to the (Columbia CIty) newspaper for charging for obituaries. (See letter to the editor on this page “History should not be the victim …” by Charlotte Hurd Blair. Or go to History should not …}

That’s rude and selfish. When you lose a family member the last thing you want to do is pay for the notice. What if someone in the staff’s family dies? Do they get the obit free.

I used to work as the Community Editor there and I could have told you this was coming down the pipe four years ago when I left. This useless paper needs to be boycotted, not only for the obit situation, but the lack of local news everyday. Each newspaper printed there is a waste of good paper.

From now on I’ll only read my news online and I’m not reading The Post & Mail anymore. Please join me.

Waste not! Go green with Busco Voice!!!!

The Churubusco Chamber of Commerce would like to say thank you to all of the attendees of our annual Picnic in the Park.

Every year the turn-out gets better and we would not be able to have such a great time if it weren’t for all of the local volunteers and businesses that donted their time, labor and food.

Those that we would like to thank are Mor for Less, Egolfs IGA, Smith-Green Schools and CHS art students, Mahle, Fort Financial Credit Union, Sheets and Childs Funeral Home, Churubusco/Smith Township Fire Department, not only for displaying your fire trucks and the fun softball game but also for housing and transporting the moonwalk, Huntertown/Perry Township Fire Department, BRC, Churubusco Child Care, National City Bank, Farmers and Merchants Bank, Gonink, Bob Wiard @ Bob’s Graphics, Churubusco Public Library, The Auburn Dixielanders, Don Amber, Rick Krider and Harold Burden.

Thanks again everyone and we look forward to making it bigger and better next year.
