This week's issue

This week, readers of The Crittenden Press can expect some extensive coverage on the search for a new superintendent of county schools. One candidate has withdrawn, but four finalists remain and we will have detailed information on each of those.

•A Marion businesswoman is retiring after 31 years as a children's clothing merchant. Lenore Drennan (pictured) hopes to make her retirement final this summer. So far, there is no buyer for her downtown operation.

•Crittenden County pitcher Alex Wood has thrown the second perfect game of his career. The junior beat Lyon County 10-0 last week.

Stay tuned for details to these and other stories in this week's edition, on sale at newsstands Wednesday afternoon.
