PLYMOUTH – Once the promise of gold had brought them to Deadwood, but now the once thriving city of outlaws run by Jimmy Hayward only sees the occasional stagecoach. It’s the prime address for murder.
Your job on Oct. 28 is to solve that murder mystery as part of Delta Theta Tau’s Murder Mystery Dinner for this year. The ladies have turned Christo’s Banquet Center into Deadwood for a night of fun, food and prizes with all the proceeds going to The Boys & Girls Club of Marshall County.
PLYMOUTH — Whether it was just a coincidence or a wish come true doesn’t matter to Plymouth High School junior Priscilla Hammonds. She was nominated to travel to Japan with the People to People Program over the summer.
Priscilla’s father, Keith Hammonds, said he had been talking with his daughter about what she wanted to do after high school and college.
“Priscilla said she wanted to go to Japan and work there for a couple of years,” he said. “We couldn’t believe it when she got the letter inviting her to join the program.”

LOS ANGELES, CA – Monday night Plymouth High School graduate Tyler Langdon will have his moment.
He’ll walk the “red carpet” with the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Sean Penn on his way to accepting the Hollywood Discovery Award as part of this year’s Hollywood Film Festival.
Plymouth Park Department’s annual “Haunted Grounds” at the Conservation Clubhouse was busy Thursday night. Alexander Rhoads tosses a ring over witches’ hats for candy.
LOS ANGELES — Plymouth’s Tyler Langdon is glad that things are getting back to normal — at least as “normal” as an actor’s life can be.
“It’s been the most stressful two weeks of my life,” he said with a laugh. “Every free moment has been filled with being on Facebook, emailing, reminding people to vote for me. Now I have to catch up with all the things I didn’t do. I’m sure I have about a billion e-mails to catch up on.”
Langdon was one of the finalists for the Hollywood Discovery Award — part of the Hollywood Movie Award portion of the Hollywood Film Festival’s week of activities.
WALKERTON — John Glenn’s marching band is no stranger to success.
Trips to the state finals in class D of the ISSMA state tournament in 1999, 2000 and 2006 had set the stage, but after moving up to class C the band had to adjust to the competition with bigger schools. This year’s band has reaped the benefit of that tradition, making it through the regional competition and on to the semi-state at Plainfield.
