You never know who will be in the area during the just-completed Fall Antiques shows in Fayette County. La Grange mayor Jan Dockery, who also works at La Marina Restaurant, waited on Daniel Warrior from the Yellowstone series last week. “He was invited as a guest at the show in Warrenton to take pictures with the shoppers. He signed autographed pics for myself and some customers that were at the restaurant, and he also took pics with us. Daniel said he is 6’10!” said Dockery, shown above standing next to Warrior.

La Grange Superintendent Andy McHazlett sent this message to parents and guardians Wednesday: “I want to make everyone aware that a staff member has recently resigned following an internal investigation into unprofessional electronic communications with a student. Once the concern was brought to our attention, the employee was immediately placed on administrative leave while the situation was reviewed. The investigation confirmed that inappropriate communication boundaries had been crossed. While there was no evidence of criminal activity, the conduct did not align with the expectations outlined in the Educator Code of Ethics and the District’s professional standards. The safety and well being of our students and staff will continue to be our number one priority. This matter was handled promptly, thoroughly, and with the seriousness it deserved.”
