... to David Thrasher, owner of the Art Store in New Albany, for landscaping a downtown corner at Market and Bank after the City ran out of money to do the landscaping. He did a very nice job, landscaping the corner with pots filled with metal art flowers.

... to the person whose idea it was to have The Tribune mailed.
I get my paper at about the same time every day. I now get the paper earlier in the afternoon. It is dry. I don’t have to hunt for it in the shrubs. I do not have to walk to the bottom of the driveway or the edge of the lawn to pick up the paper. I do not have to worry about not getting the paper every day. There were times when I had to make calls to the circulation department to have a paper delivered. Please continue the agreement with the postal service. Thank you.
