However the online newspaper doesn't replace TOTV in any way. This website is the very best for chatty discussions about breaking news.
For those of us who are not aware, could you please give some info re: the online Villages news sources?

Thx!!

Last year an electric golf cart exploded in a garage in Hadley.


Thank God for our great fire response.


Grateful that woman is standing next to the shell looking unharmed. Wonder what we could do to help her out financially?


I will email Meta Minton, the owner of Villages- News.com. that released the story. I just saw her picture of the cart and the woman who blessedly excaped personal injury on WESH2 news just now. Meta was previously managing editor of The Daily Sun until last year when she retired. She is an excellent journalist and a fine person.

We should all be so lucky to have the fitness, agility, and mental acumen of this 96-year-young woman does at her age.
