The County News also carried the results of the voting on the water park and many editorials from the editors.
Tink Larson

Reporters in the County News were also fired because they allegedly withheld information regarding the case. Their positions were then replaced within a few weeks. The sports writer was one of the men fired. He started a new sports newspaper called Star Sports Extra: Your Sports Source. In the newspaper, he covers the surrounding communities sports schedules. It debuted in October 2006, costing 50 cents per copy.
