THE RECORD AS IT STANDS · NOVEMBER 2026
What this section could not settle is named, with the source that settles each item:
GAP-NEWS-1 — The Gazette's founding instrument and early course. The founding year 1996/97 rests on the magazine's own volume numbering (vol. 19, April 2015); its founder, its first publisher before Kerry Byler's documented tenure (contact in 2000; publisher in 2015), and its frequency course before the "monthly magazine" masthead of 2018 are not in the record reached. Settlers: the Gazette's own back file and mastheads (the publisher's office, P.O. Box and corridor addresses as printed); the St. Joseph County Public Library's and MPHPL's periodical holdings, if a file is held; the Tribune's 1996–97 business pages.
GAP-NEWS-2 — The Gazette's publisher succession after 2015 and its present masthead. Byler is documented to April 2015; the magazine demonstrably publishes through July 2026 (the parks board's log), but its current publisher and editor stand in no record reached. Settler: the current number's masthead, read at the source.
GAP-NEWS-3 — Inside Granger's first issue. The Flagship department was running by July 2005 and the magazine with it at court-record strength; the surviving digital editions open in March 2009. The title's actual founding date and first-issue record are unprinted in anything reached. Settlers: the Tribune's corporate record and the Flagship file; SJCPL's periodical holdings; the Walsworth platform's full issue list.
GAP-NEWS-4 — A Discovery Middle School student publication. Tested, not found; whether the Granger-seated middle school has or had a student newspaper, broadcast, or literary magazine stands unsettled. Settler: the school's and the district's archives and yearbooks.
GAP-NEWS-5 — The Clay Township counterpart, at file strength. The negative in the Clay entry rests on the public record reached (no township site or newsletter; the fire territory's site as the township's face). A file-level confirmation — or a contrary find — settles in the Clay trustee's own records and the SJCPL's township files.
GAP-NEWS-6 — The Gazette as legal-notice or official-publication vehicle. No record reached shows the Gazette carrying legal notices or serving as any unit's official publication; Indiana's public-notice law runs through newspapers of record, and Harris Township's own FAQ names the Tribune for meeting announcements. A contrary instrument — a township resolution designating the Gazette — would settle it the other way. Settler: the Harris Township board's minutes and resolutions.
GAP-NEWS-7 — Granger items in the Enterprise and News-Times at file strength. The settlement-era coverage is printed here at the holdings' strength; the item-level course (the Granger correspondents' columns, if the Enterprise or the News-Times ran them under a Granger head) awaits a page-level pass. Settlers: the MPHPL Enterprise microfilm (1858–2019); Hoosier State Chronicles' News-Times (1913–1931); the Tribune full text at SJCPL.
