Inside this week's Crittenden Press

Marion pilot Mark Beduhn works on building his new aircraft.

The Crittenden Press will hit the streets today as usual, packed with news from Crittenden Fiscal Court and Marion City City Council — from repairs planned for the local park's oval track to eradication of black flies along the Tradewater River that plague humans and livestock in spring and summer.

Also, read the latest on the financial crisis faced by Crittenden Health Systems in regard to its ambulance service. Judge-Executive Perry Newcom assures the court will not let the service die, but is awaiting more figures to help the fiscal court decide on exactly what to do. Meantime, EMS director Kevin Hilkey places the fate of the service in the hands of the public it serves through maintaining contact with their magistrates on the matter.

Finally, Marion pilot Mark Beduhn is fulfilling a dream of building his second airplane. Read that front-page story in its entirety this week.
