    Ray Harroff, the owner of Stonehenge Golf Course, finally joined the elite group of golfers Tuesday afternoon as he fired his first hole-in-one.

    A thief with a "sweet tooth" has solved his dessert problem for the next few months after stealing 1,152 "Ding Dongs" from a Hostess Bakery truck parked at the Kroger Store in east Warsaw early today.

    Approximately 30 children participated in the bicycle and tricycle parade, held Friday afternoon and sponsored by the summer recreation commission.
