By Cal Teeple

Fri Aug 15, 2008, 02:12 PM EDT

Maybe I’m borin’ you with this same old subject? But the proposed burn ordinance is still bein’ hotly discussed. Two weeks ago I (and many interested folks) attended the township meeting. I’m plannin’ to drop in again this Monday ‘round 7:30.

Fines, penalties, jail and more, Oh my! If you can’t control the firebug in ya, you’re about to get burned by much more than sparks from your backyard fire pit (not sure you’ll even git to keep a fire pit!). If enacted, this might even spread to other townships?

There are times when life happens and you glimpse the grand side of it. I’ll bet you’ve seen it yourself on those rare occasions when you’re really lookin’ (or not). It happens when things just seem to come together in near perfection and pleases everyone present.

It was midday now and the sun was high overhead. Surprising her, it’s warmth on her shoulders was causing her to perspire under her sweater. She always wore a sweater over her house dress, summer or winter. Glancing quickly over at Grace she saw her brow was glistening with damp perspiration too. She thought she noticed a slight pallidness under her friends wrinkled, dark skin.

By Cal Teeple

I’m not sure which weekend is better? Presidents Day (was Washingtons birthday), Columbus Day (we picked a day), Labor Day (our own people/workers day) Memorial Day (Decoration Day) are all big weekends. I mean we actually get three days in a row to do just as we please.

Some kids are bookworms, some sit in front of the TV or computer hours on end, others play video games endlessly. While some mope around, whining that they’re “bored”.
