Editor’s Note: With the 2016 Election happening next week, the staff at the Gazette thought we would publish some questions and answers from our candidates from our district 25 legislative races. We have received numerous letters endorsing and/or repudiating candidates on the state and national level, but our policy regarding political letters to the editor is that of founding father Benjamin Franklin’s newspaper, ‘Fairness to all, favoritism towards none...’ However, we felt it necessary to keep you educated on the folks who are running for legislative "down ballot" races, so you may notice that this week’s Gazette is really, really full. These are problems we want to have, but sadly some other stories had to take a backseat with all this election news and information in this week’s issue. We did, however, get to run a very nice profile on Tom Lines, a former Vietnam veteran and beloved member of our community.

Some things you’ll be seeing next week will include photos from the Trunk or Treat events here in Garretson (some super awesome costumes). We also have a feature from the Garretson Fire Department and their activities during fire prevention week this past October as well as a story about the twelve and under soccer team. GHS Volleyball is also going to the region tournament this week just before press time so expect some more sports news and much more next week. In short, this week is almost all hard news with more fun stuff on the way.

In this week's edition, we remember City Council member and longtime Ambulance Service and EMS Vice President and President Tom Lines, who passed last week. Garretson will miss his thoughtful, giving ways. We also profile a new Pastor for the Palisades and First Lutheran Churches in rural Garretson and Valley Springs, and the 7th & 8th Grade students visit the Outdoor Campus. The editor encourages you to go see Calendar Girls on their second (and final) week of performances.

Most importantly, we have a full legal publishing of the 2016 Ballot Questions. We encourage you to put your legal glasses on and read fully. In the next two issues, we will be running a few stories and information on the upcoming election, so you can head to the ballot box educated on the local and state issues and candidates.
