MAYOR’S NOTES

We here in Thorne should give thanks for having been extremely fortunate concerning the flooding problems.

I would like to thank all our understanding ratepayers as we are going through the slow process of getting our roads back.

Let us be aware of all those who have been less fortunate, there have been approximately 500 people evacuated here in the Pontiac and many of them do not know if their houses can be used again.
