• A local teen is headed to Vancouver for the summer to appear in a production of the hit musical Rent.
• It's almost time for the 20th annual Rona MS Bike Tour, and while 30 local high school students are getting ready to volunteer for the two-day event, a Thorsby woman with MS is training for the 183-km ride — her sixth.
