On June 14, The Pines Mall closed its doors after being in business for more than 30 years.

| | Entergy's solar pitch shot down by PSC
City, county studying next move
| An Entergy rate request for solar power that Grant County and Sheridan officials had found attractive was denied by the state Public Service Commission last week.
The three-person Public Service Commission, on June 15, posted its order on the matter, saying Entergy's proposed rate request "does not adequately protect the interests of non-participating ratepayers, and is not just and reasonable or in the public interest." The PSC did give the utility the option of resubmitting its proposal within 30 days, an option that Entergy said it would exercise.

A resubmission of parts of the rate request, however, could be handled much quicker by the three-member body.
