This week in the news

Readers of The Crittenden Press printed edition can expect a variety of news and sports this week.

The Press will have a full page of photos from the deer season and we're keep tabs on the Rocket football team, which is preparing for its opening round in the playoffs Friday at Marion.

In the news this week is a front page story on the dangers of congestion and pedestrian traffic on the north side of town where there are more retail and service sector businesses than anywhere else in the city. You'll read about what it might take for the city to install sidewalks on Sturgis Road.

Also, we are following the auction of Kimball timberlands in the northern part of the county. As of Monday, the Jasper, Ind., furniture maker had not accepted the highest bid from Saturday's big land auction.

The Crittenden Press printed edition will be on newsstands before 3 p.m., Wednesday.
