• John Corbett's Debut Novel (newcity.com) — Clinton is getting regional attention for using outdoor art to reinvent its historic Mississippi River lumber town image and draw visitors. Recent civic investments include three giant wooden trolls by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, placed around the city to spark pride and curiosity among residents and tourists alike. The piece appears in a broader roundup of Midwest arts news.
• Obituary-Gary E. Borchardt (theradar.online) — A recent obituary honors Gary E. Borchardt, whose family now includes a granddaughter living in Clinton along with many other relatives across the Midwest.
