Independent monthly magazine, by its own numbering from 1996 or 1997; publishing as of the July 2026 edition — read in the numbers Harris Township republishes
What it is: the only periodical this ground has ever sustained: an independent, advertising-carried monthly magazine — masthead "Granger's First Monthly Magazine" (October 2018 number), territory the 46530 ZIP — published by Kerry Byler (of record in 2000 and in April 2015). Its founding is arithmetic the magazine itself supplies: volume 19, number 4 in April 2015 puts its first volume year at 1996 or 1997, an inference the Newspapers file prints as inference; its founder stands unreached (GAP-NEWS-1), and its publisher succession after 2015 stands unreached with it (GAP-NEWS-2). Continuity is proven the plain way, by the county Parks Board's media logs, which carry its editions from December 2016 to the edition logged in August 2026, a $140 Sugar Camp Days advertisement among them.
Its standing, from this build's experience: the Gazette is the place's memory of itself, because the sitting trustee writes in it: Kenneth E. Lindsay's page carries the civic explainers (fire protection, April 2021; poor relief, August 2021) and the history series — "Granger Station," and "Harris Township: History, and a Question" (August 2020), the letter through which this build read Goff. Harris Township republishes the magazine's numbers on its own site, and that republication is the door this build read the run through — the April 2015 and August 2020 PDFs among them. A source that is also an institution's chosen channel is used at that double strength: strong on what the township wants remembered, handled as advocacy where advocacy is its genre.
Where it fails: a monthly magazine carried by advertising prints the present it can sell; its back file is not an archive, its early course is unreached, and whether it serves as the township's legal-notice vehicle is a named gap (GAP-NEWS-6) rather than an assumption. The record also had to be rescued from a shorthand about it — the build's own — told in Part Five.
