We also include people news such as weddings and birth announcements, obituaries, and church activities. And, we cover the many boys and girls sports programs of De Leon High School where excellence and winning is a long established tradition. Our feature stories and special features provide additional interest and reading enjoyment. Profiles of local personalities, humor columns, puzzles, recipes, war stories, human interest stories, and historical recaps all add flavor and zest to the sometimes dull business of local news. One of our more popular feature columns is entitled "I Got NO REASON TO LIE". It is written by our local humorist, Charles Chupp. Chupp recounts, and occasionally embroiders upon, humorous events that he experiences or hears about in the various coffee shops around town. His writing style is truly unique and inimitable...
