Six sealed white envelopes sat on a table at the start of the LaFollette City Council workshop Monday. These envelopes contained the top three choices of the mayor, city administrator and the four councilmen for the open police chief position.

When the council reached discussion on the applicants, little was said except to determine a way to read the mysterious contents of each envelope.

At last the Relay for Life event has arrived and teams are gearing up for the finale on  Friday and Saturday. The event will start at 6 p.m. on Friday, and continue until 6 a.m. the following day.

For an evening of fun and to support a good cause, the community is encouraged to attend the event held at the Campbell County High School football field.

With the planning and preparation phase concluded the event promises several musical and drama performances. Food will also be abundance along with a variety of games and activities.

Two men who once held county positions and were named as defendants in a federal lawsuit have been dismissed from those proceedings.

Last Thursday, U.S. District Judge R. Allan Edgar released former Sheriff Ron McClellan and former Chief Deputy Charlie Scott from the multi million-dollar lawsuit filed by Lester and Jenny Siler.
