OREGON -- The Elkton community was not partying like it was 1999 when the millennium edition of the Elkton High School student newspaper, The Elk Call, hit the school's newsstands in December.
A sarcastic commentary published in reply to a letter from a community member about the poor grades of Elkton students prompted the school board to halt the distribution of 500 newspapers and order them destroyed.
The commentary was written by newspaper staff member Andy Baird in reply to a letter to the editor from an Elkton community member bemoaning academic problems at the school.
