Crystal Place is a neighborhood off of Denham Road, and they publish a monthly newsletter “as a means to help ensure the livability of our subdivision.”  Each month’s newsletter will be made available as a service to the residents of Crystal Place.  Initiatives like the Crystal Place Newsletter are one reason that Central is such a great place to live.  We commend the subdivision for their community spirit and we hope that having the newsletter available on-line will further their efforts.

If anyone would like to share a memory of Kelsey or if you have words of comfort for her friends and family, feel free to leave a comment here.

This weekend, March 5-7, Lancaster House will be open to the public. Lancaster House, which sells home decor, jewelry, and fleur de lis products, is located at the corner of Hooper and Sullivan. It is open one weekend a month to the public. The businees hours for this coming weekend are Friday 10-5, Saturday 10-5, and Sunday 12-4.

Kelsey Lieux, a senior at Central High School, has passed away after being injured in a car accident months ago. Our city has stepped forward in a big way over the past few months to offer support for the Kelsey and her family through visits, fundraisers, and prayers. Let’s continue to offer this support and keep Kelsey’s family and friends in our thoughts and prayers through this extremely difficult time. She will be remembered and missed by her entire community.

All of Kelsey’s friends, classmates, and teachers will miss her very much. Out of respect and rememberance for Kelsey, the CHS Twirp dance scheduled for Saturday night has been postponed.
