27 January paper

Sorry for the late posting on this one, but here's what's in this week's paper:
  • COUNTY BANS DOGGING DEER. The Orange County Board of Commissioners banned the practice of hunting deer with dogs last week.
  • FORMER COUNTY LEADER DIES. Orange County's first manager, Samuel Gattis II, died last Saturday. He was the county manager from 1963 to 1981.
  • 'GIVING WHAT YOU HAVE.' A local woman is spearheading an effort to get backpacks sent down to Haiti to use in carrying supplies from one location to another.
  • EVENT WILL REVISIT OLD DAYS. This Sunday at the Senior Center several locals will tell what Hillsboro was like in the days before the extra "ugh."
  • PROGRAM USES REAL LIFE TO TEACH TEENS ABOUT DRIVER SAFETY. The VIP for a VIP program uses real-life situations to encourage teens to be safe drivers. Local law enforcement agencies are hoping to use this program in area schools.
