EDITOR'S NOTE

Just a reminder that beginning today, obituaries have moved to the Local & State section of the newspaper and are no longer in the Hernando Times. What you will find on Page 3 inside today's Hernando section is a new feature called Hernando Neighbors. It's the first of several new features we plan to include on our inside pages. Also, we want to know what you think about the changes. You can send e-mail to Hernando Times editor Mike Konrad at konrad@sptimes.com or call us at 754-6101.
