Regional jail options debated by four county commissioners
Four county commissioners discussed regional jail possibilities with a decision hoped by April 11. Franklin County may expand its jail into the Third and Hickory parking area to ease space shortages, while a regional solution could save monthly housing costs. Sheriff Davis urged solving the current jail problem regardless of the path chosen.

Memorial portraits honor local veterans from wars since WW II
The Franklin County Courthouse lawn bears portraits of soldiers killed in action from major wars since World War II. Jacob Butler and Wasser, both remembrances in 2003 and 2004, are named among the dead. Artists used photos families sent, with varied media including canvas color work, low relief clay, scratch board, and flower motifs. Some portraits remain silhouettes due to missing images.
