Golf Carts / Rangers

Dave,

I know this is not Golf Cart weather, but just a reminder that the stickers expired on December 31, 2013. This year the renewal stickers will be available at City Hall during normal business hours. New Carts and Rangers still have to be registered at the Police Department. The cost for the stickers is still $50.00. We currently have 24 Golf Carts / Rangers registered and haven't received any complaints.
Thanks,
N. Cavera
Minonk Police Department

Facebook Area Sell and Trade

I have recently created a Facebook page for people in the Minonk area to communicate so that they can sell, buy, or trade their belongings. I have seen similar pages become quite popular and useful in other communities and wanted the same for our community. The link is https://www.facebook.com/groups/MinonkAreaSellandTrade/

Users must have a Facebook account to use it, and can post pictures and / or text about their items with details about the item, what price they would like, and other details. I would appreciate it if you helped spread the word by posting this link on your site!

Thank you!
Tom

Sheriff Jim Pierceall endorses Matt Smith for Sheriff in March election

With primary elections right around the corner I would be remiss if I failed to recommend a suitable replacement. I highly recommend Matt Smith for Woodford County Sheriff. I selected Matt Smith for the position of operations captain because of his work ethic and his conservative views. As a salaried employee Matt Smith has often worked long hours without compensation to get things done. A true conservative Matt Smith is always looking for ways to do more while spending less. With the assistance of Matt Smith the Sheriffs office was able to make necessary improvements and still managed to come in under budget on many occasions.

Despite whatever rhetoric you may see or hear no other candidate understands the operation of the Sheriffs office better that Matt Smith. I firmly believe that in the days to come you will see that Matt Smith has earned the respect and support of the Sheriffs office employee's. I believe that both of the other candidates chose to retire from law enforcement and are currently drawing full retirement benefits. It makes no sense to me to take away a qualified, hard working man's only source of income and allow someone else less qualified to double-dip the taxpayers of Woodford county. Matt Smith has worked hard for the Sheriffs office as well as the Republican party. He has earned my support. I hope the voters will make an educated choice on election day.

Stay off of 8th street due to snow

Due to the blowing and drifting snow people are advised to stay off West Eighth because of numerous cars in the ditch and stalled in the road that is stranding traffic.
