Thank you for supporting concerts
We are writing to express our heartfelt gratitude to our wonderful community for its tremendous support of the recent concerts held at the Hudson Family Park amphitheater as part of the Hudson Family Park Amphitheater Concert Series.
Jack wasn’t a fan of the new name
What’s in a name? Not much, maybe. But the wrong moniker at the wrong time can be a little jarring.
Downtown planters to take hiatus
To the editor: Since the summer of 2020, Portland Main Street Connect, along with the Portland Redevelopment Commission, installed planters on Meridian Street in downtown Portland.
Grand-neighbor title worked well

Mailbox needed serious clean-up

Benefit showed community’s love
On Aug. 19, Jay County was blessed with a perfect day in oh so many ways.
Thanks for supporting Shea’s ride
The third annual Shea M. Briar Memorial Ride, hosted by Portland’s American Legion Post 211, was held on July 22, 2023, and we could not have asked for better weather.
A simple walk could be effective
Economists insist that new technology results in productivity gains. And that’s probably true in the long run.
Chicago trips opened up the world
When did we start treating our children like hothouse plants?

It was a Friday night just a couple of weeks ago.
