BARROW musicians have created a new album to help raise money for the town’s foodbank. The album, ‘Bags of Love’ features songs from 19 artists and musicians, most of whom are from Barrow. Bags of Love founder and musician Johnny Swift is behind the album. He said: “This is our third album we have released. I had the initial idea during the first lockdown around 12 months ago, for local musicians including myself as both an outlet for bands and songwriters during the pandemic, but also to help those in need who were struggling to get food during the Covid crisis.”

The Marshall County supervisors appointed Joel Phillips as the new Marshall County Sheriff and Jordan Gaffney as the new Marshall County Attorney during the regular Tuesday meeting. The appointments went into effect immediately. Both positions will be on the November 2022 general election ballot.
The Marshall County Board of Supervisors was busy at the regular Tuesday meeting, even though the meeting was relatively short.
First, they appointed Joel Phillips as the new Marshall County Sheriff, which took effect immediately. He will serve in the role until November 2022 and then will be up for election.
“It was an interesting and good time we had going through the interviews,” Supervisor Bill Patten said. “Joel’s background and his work gives him an edge because he’s done this before. We’re excited to have Joel.”
