Chris Burkholder had a couple things to discuss with the Gregory County Board of Commissioners as they opened their regular meeting Tuesday, December 5. First he wanted to clarify that Andrew Yoder’s plan was always to connect the two buildings he had moved onto his newly-chased lot in the Rolling Hills subdivision, and now the proper building permit has been obtained.

Thanael Certa-Werner is the new pastor at Gregory United Methodist Church. He moved to the area the end of June, during which time he pastored the Burke and Herrick United in Faith UMC parishes before taking over the pastorate in Gregory at the beginning of November.

During the city council meeting Tuesday, December 5, Mayor Al Cerny updated the council on four public nuisance properties that have been the subject of numerous complaints. The code enforcement officer had been in town the week before the council meeting, and the mayor discussed these properties with him.
