I must apologize to the regular readers of Calhoun County as there will not be a report from Calhoun County today. It seems your esteemed reporter, or at least she likes to think she is esteemed, will be out doing things other then writing today.

 Spring has come to Calhoun County and your esteemed reporter wants to take advantage of the spring-like weather so she is going to take her little doggies and wonder about the country side. Perhaps she will go out and visit one of the many sites in Calhoun County that have some historical significance, Like the Twin Mounds out on Rte. 65, It is said that in the early days of Calhoun County an Indian maiden was in love with a English man and due to reasons no one ever knew the romance fell apart and the Indian maiden was heart broken so she just went out in the country side and laid down to die. They years have been kind to her and thus we have the Twin Mounds.

Or perhaps she will go visit the Grand Canyon of Calhoun County. Sure it's only 7 feet deep and there is an easy way to set across it anywhere you might want to but those that have never been outside of Calhoun County don't know that. Once Erma Bright, the history teacher at Calhoun County high school was asked why the pictures in the books of the Grand Canyon showed it to be so much deeper than the Calhoun County Grand Canyon and she replied. Trick photography now sit dawn and read you Civil War history. Or perhaps your esteemed reporter  will visit that Calhoun Count Flower Garden which was started on the old grounds of the Calhoun County Nuclear Electric plant and has flowers that even Faye could not hold in her hands, For some reason they seem to grow so big there.

 At any rate I hope you will forgive your esteemed reporter for taking a day off.
