Jasper County Sun Times
A little over a month into his tenure as Jasper County sheriff, Donald Hipp said he is taking his new job day by day and working to overcome challenges including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Hipp defeated incumbent Chris Malphrus in the Democratic primary last year and then beat write-in candidate Gary Morris in the general election. I was already familiar with some aspects of the job coming from the solicitor s office as an investigator, but it is a learning process,” Hipp said. “I am pleased to say we are making some good strides, but I want to be better than good. I want to be great.
Welcome back to another February edition of Roker Riches to all our readers, followers and friends around the world.
Our only winners last weekend were Malc and Matty. Matty made a total profit of £2.50 after a £12.50 win, and Malc picked up a tasty £70 when his accumulator came in for all but his last match, which was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch (Forest Green at Mansfield).
But what are the Riches punters backing for this weekend’s key game against Doncaster Rovers, a team above us, and comparatively flying?
Let’s take a look.
