That would be the operative word (winner) to describe Curtis Dove. That’s because our man Curtis unscrambled the mystery word, then located it fiendishly concealed in the ad for Hammond’s Ferry in the Oct. 21 issue of the Medical Examiner (yeah, the one that had Oct. 4 on every page… that one). For his troubles, like driving all over Hammond’s Ferry looking for the mystery word, we hereby slather him with such handsome rewards as a $20 Wild Wing Cafe gift certificate, a free Top Notch car wash, and a couple of Regal Cinemas movie passes provided by the friendly folks at Health Center Credit Union. Congratulations, Curtis!
