Our church’s manager. It is more than that, it is a presence in the souls of those newspaper owners of weekly papers that their lifeblood, the local newspaper, is also part of the lifeblood of the community itself. Where the newspaper goes, as goes the community. I hear ‘newspapers are dying out,’ all of the time. That is true, to a sense, that daily newspapers have made major cutbacks and are looking for ways to make a dollar, all at the expense of the readers. There is a daily paper in this state that is over $700 a year to subscribe and there is less and less local content in the pages each day. I understand to make money you have to cut costs, but weekly papers cut costs just as much, but run on the premise that without being the scribe of the community, the community is lost. Weekly publishers care about their content because they are the content, in an essence, providing the storybook of that community each and every week. Money is important to all businesses, but having a heart for your community is also important.

A DRIVEYoung Jeffs Team Shows PotentialTO On The LinksWIN By Nathan Heuer It was as dominant as performance as you’ll see you in a dual between two golf teams. And the Fairbury golf team did it in style on their home course, the Fairbury Country Club. All four of Fairbury’s varsity golfers tallied lower scores than Thayer Central’s best golfer on Tuesday and in turn the Jeffs won the dual 194-249. “One thing I like with our team is that being so young we have a lot to learn about competitive golf. Every time they are able to play in any competition they are taking away and learning something new,” Fairbury head golf coach Jed Martin said. The Jeffs No. 1 golfer all last season and this season, Dalton Petersen, and Devin Wana- maker topped the scorecards with personal- best scores on the course. Petersen fired a 41 on the nine-hole course while Wanamaker carded a 46. With the 41, Petersen’s score was six over par. The junior tallied one birdie and two pars on the first four holes. Wanamaker’s best performance was on holes two and six, where he carded pars on both. “The biggest thing with Dalton and Devin is they were able to be consistent in their play. They hit the ball well off the tee and if they did get into trouble, they were able to minimize the damage,” Martin said. Fairbury’s varsity squad was rounded out by Trevin Arnold’s 51 and Joe Melcher’s round of 56. Jake Martin finished just outside the Jeffs top four with a score of 58. Thayer Central was paced by Cayden Huber, who carded a 61.
