Water Is Safe in Franklinton

Franklinton residents recently received a Notice of Noncompliance from the Town of Franklinton. The letter states that a violation occurred because the town did not complete all monitoring or did not report the results of certain chemical levels in the water.

Town officials want to assure all citizens that the water meets health standards and no problems were found in the testing of the water.

A violation occurred because of the failure to collect certain required samples from the water system's distribution center. This violation forced the town to send out the Notice of Noncompliance. The letter ends by stating that "necessary action has been taken to prevent this violation from recurring."

Franklinton residents can feel safe in using the town's water supply.

Cody Wise To Perform With Million Dollar Quartet

Franklinton's Cody Wise has been selected to play the role of Elvis Presley in the Tony Award-Winning musical Million Dollar Quartet. Less than three years into his Elvis Tribute Act, Cody quickly found success.

In his first year of competition, Cody was named a finalist in the Images of the King World Championship in Memphis, TN. He followed that by being named the 2012 Horizon Award Winner by the Elvis Extravaganza Elvii Awards. He was also named a top six finalist in the Tampa Bay Ultimate Elvis Tribute preliminary contest in 2012. Cody was named a winner of the Elvis Extravaganza National Finals in Tampa, FL being crowned the "Look-A-Like" champion in 2013. Later that year he was named a top 10 finalist in the Tupelo Elvis Festival Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Preliminary Contest.

Million Dollar Quartet is the smash hit musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought together rock 'n roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time. The quartet gathered at Sun Records in Memphis on December 4, 1956 for one of the greatest jam shows ever.

Cody will tour the country and play in front of audiences from coast-to-coast. Past Quartet members have performed in settings such as the David Letterman show and sang at NBA and NFL games. They have performed in front of numerous celebrities and have been featured on Sirius-XM's Elvis channel.

Cody will still be able to bring his performance to the Washington Parish Fair for the second consecutive year. Visit the million Dollar Quartet's website to learn more about the show and find out touring dates and locations.
