Great article on our own Officer Lemen-Sipp and our friend PPB Officer Butcher! Great work ladies!

Huge thanks to the staff at the Tribune and News-Times for giving me a shot and helping me be successful. I will be pursuing a non-newspaper position in the Seattle area. On to the next grand adventure!

"I've learned that we needed to work closer with city jurisdictions not only to meet communities' needs, but also try to get more volunteer services. Churches have stepped up tremendously to provide weather shelters, and that's a mainstay in a community." Thank you, Val!
