It’s 18 years and counting for the Times-Journal Star and 2009 nominations are now open.
Begun in 1992, the Times-Journal Star recognizes someone who’s influenced the community in a positive way over the past year.
Past winners have come from a variety of fields, including education, agriculture, the arts, and community service.
This year’s deadline to nominate someone as T-J Star is Saturday, December 26.
Nominations can be made by:
• Phone, 234-2515.

For every nomination—and don’t be afraid to make more than one—we need the reason the person being nominated deserves to be the 2009 Star along with a way to get a hold of you in case we need more information.
