SOLAR FIELD… On Thursday, June 13, the Village of Edgerton recognized Covington Box as its solar field. The impact of the solar field has made the village more sustainable as the entire factory is self-sufficient in electricity as the solar field covers 100% of the plant’s electricity needs. Pictured are Mayor Bob Day, Tony Fifer – President of Covington Box, Mike Rodgers – CEO of Covington Box and Dawn Fitzcharles – Village Administrator.

“I can’t read this story; What do you mean I have to pay?”

Please don’t be that person. Joking aside, readers have supported our newspaper by purchasing copies of the news since the 1870s. Not much has changed (we still need the same support) except that we now offer Hometown News online in addition to traditional print. Like other LOCAL small town companies, we charge a minimal access feess LOCAL news. We cannot be expected to distribute our product any more than a coffee shop, gas station or pizzeria would. We believe that an average of 350 weekly hours of LOCAL effort put into publishing LOCAL news by LOCAL employees for just $2.00 is the best deal in town.

Support a local, family-owned and operated small business by getting seven days of access to the website along with the current, full-color E-Edition for just $2.00 (less than the price of a candy bar or cup of coffee). Sign up for a traditional subscription for longer than 7 days and you’ll receive all these benefits plus a traditional mail-order print version every week!
