Welcome to the new, improved, online Rutherford Chronicle!

Welcome, Chronicle readers!

You're no doubt aware that our beloved newspaper, the Rutherford Chronicle, had to shut due to decreased circulation. But fear not! This blog will feature all those little columns that made our paper great, like The Rutherford Chatterbox, Horoscopes, From the Archives and Letters to the Editor. (Or should that be blogger?)

Community Notices:


Chief Fire Officer Thompson has asked us to remind everyone that there is a FIRE BAN in the Jennings Memorial Reserve. No camp fires, and definitely no fireworks. There's been a few incidents of smoke and bright lights seen around the area. No damage has been reported yet, but as Summer is on it's way, let's start as we mean to go on!

The meeting to decide the naming of the Rutherford College Library has been tabled indefinitely, after the fracas that ensued last week. Principal Munroe has asked the interested parties to take some time to calm down, and when everyone can be reasonable, the subject may be discussed again.

Momentum Combined Technologies is having an open day next month! Everyone is invited to take a look around the labs and see the cutting edge of scientific research. Boffo the Clown will also be there, plus a raffle and a cupcake competition.

The Jennings Memorial Society is seeking volunteers for the graveyard and graffiti clean up drive. There seems to have been a spate of attacks recently, and our town center is looking a little less than pristine. Mrs. Jones refuses to comment on the allegations made on the side of the bus shelter.

And, ending things on a happy note: everyone congratulate our Mayor when you see him next! He's getting hitched to the wonderful Eli Parker, who reminds us that there's a 25% off sale at the "Bibliophile Second Hand Bookstore" next week. (Great if you've got a gap in your collection of Reader's Digests. -ed)
