Where are the enlistments?

Question: I used to remember seeing a listing of our young men and women joining the military. Just curious if you still do that. My son joined the Navy, and shipped out yesterday, part of the reason for my asking. -- Frankie Taylor Fisher, Spokane Valley

Answer:We used to run military enlistments in the Achievements listings, but don't any longer. It became a space issue because we had so many weddings to get in the newspaper. But now that we've begun charging for wedding announcements, the number of submissions has dropped off. We may want to revisit the issue of publishing military announcements. I will mention this to the editors who handle the production of those kind of announcements. -- Carla Savalli, city editor
