This month, there are lots of things going on in our community and our pages are full and we have had to even hold some articles over to next month! Accordingly, I will forgo my usual comments to provide the additional space we need this month.

Last month, Sophia Caporale’s important article on school bullying, on page 11, we had an error that duplicated text, and we did not catch it. The error and mistake belong to The Vail Voice and not Sophia. Her article, as it was supposed to look, can be seen online at:
By Kimberly Crossland Six years ago, the Serial Grillers food truck took its first ride to its first location. The goal of the Millers brothers was simply to create something for themselves and live the American dream. Those humble beginnings have taken them on a wild ride as they’ve experienced rapid growth. “We show up every day because this...
We have lots of content in this month’s issue regarding the work being done in our community and close locations; from the “Valencia: Willmot to Kolb Project,” Amazon coming the Tucson area, as well as our regular reporting in the Highways and Byways and Construction Zone sections.
