Looking back - Flood is top local story of 2016

Submitted by admin on Tue, 12/27/2016 - 14:38

Pony Hollow Trail was hit hard by floodwaters.

Residents worked feverishly to fill sandbags to protect Wilkes and other south-end businesses

By Pam Reinig

Register Editor

The flood of 2016 was the top local news story for the year. Though the Turkey River never reached projected levels, floodwaters did rise high enough to require sandbagging in the vulnerable downtown area. The flood caused considered damage along a portion of the downtown riverwalk where part of the trail was washed away and the sidewalk heaved. The county later received a presidential disaster declaration, which makes it eligible for FEMA funds for flood repairs.

All I Want for Christmas. . . Second, third graders share wishes

Submitted by admin on Tue, 12/20/2016 - 15:21

For several years, the Register’s holiday tradition has been to share letters to Santa written by Central students. This year, students in the three combined second/third grade classes participated. Their letters are published here just as we received them. We made no attempt to edit, correct or censor.

We hope you enjoy these letters as much as we did. Many thanks to the students and their teachers for continuing this tradition,

Mrs. Duff’s class
