MEXICO – Arrest warrants have been issued for two men reportedly involved in a series of computer thefts and burglaries last year.

Uniformity reigns in 2004 calendar

RUMFORD – A local doctor is shown in his whites in one picture; playing golf in another. The race car driver is pictured with his car, then in another “uniform” playing baseball in jeans, and Red Sox hat and T-shirt.

These are two of the monthly pages of working men in the River Valley for the chamber’s first calendar. For this “River Valley 2004: Men in Uniforms,” uniform is used in the broadest of terms, says chamber executive secretary Tammi Lyons.

The new calendar is available at the chamber office and will be sold during the Fourth of July festivities at the chamber booth in downtown Rumford.

The $10 calendars went on sale last Thursday. “We’ve sold quite a few. Everyone was excited to see who’s in it,” said Lyons.

“We had a very good representation,” she said. Most of the River Valley’s 10 towns are represented.
