Happy Father's Day
Posted Monday, June 15, at 4:20 PM

Sunday is Father's Day so I want to wish all the fathers a Happy Father's Day. Hopefully everyone will get the recognition they deserve.

Being a father is a hard task. Daughters and sons think their fathers can do everything so they have to do their best to live up to those expectations.

Fathers really do have a lot of responsibility and I want to commend all of the Dads who take time out of their busy work schedule and spend time with their children.

We live in a busy world and too many times there is just not enough time in the day to get it all done but time spent with children is never wasted.

Fathers, it is your day so just enjoy.

High School graduation is over in this area and we have a lot of young men and women to be proud of for their hard work and efforts in finishing high school. I hate to admit it but high school seems much more difficult than when I was there. They have to have more credits and there is more to learn...

Happy Mothers Day
Posted Monday, May 4, at 9:42 PM

Sunday is Mother's Day and I hope we all have a great day. There is something special about our mothers and we should not take for granted they know how much we appreciate everything they have done for us. Even though they may know we love them, it certainly doesn't hurt to say it...

Ready for spring
Posted Thursday, March 5, at 3:57 PM

Everyone I have talked to is ready for spring. I am looking forward to the warmer weather and longer days. Spring seems to make everything a little better. We had the ice, then we had the snow, and I think we all deserve a little springtime. Hopefully, it will put us all in a better mood and we will see more friendly smiles as we go out and about...

Where does the time go?
Posted Monday, February 2, at 9:13 PM

Where does the time go? I just noticed I wished everyone a happy holiday on my last chat and here it is February. We have all shared an interesting week with the ice storm that came through leaving us in the dark. Power was restored to the Town Crier office on Monday afternoon. Kaye and I have been working from home, used a generator on Monday morning and if all goes well for the rest of the evening, we will have a paper on Tuesday...

Thanks for your vote
Posted Friday, December 5, at 3:28 PM

On the last poll on Christmas spending, 129 votes were cast with 76.7 (99 votes) planning on spending less this Christmas; only one vote said more; 24 the same; and five will wait and see. I want to thank everyone for taking part in the poll.

Busy, busy, busy
Posted Wednesday, December 3, at 11:11 AM

December is here and it seems the clock goes around a little faster. People are running here and there with Christmas activities, shopping, wrapping, decorating, cooking, and all of the other things that go with the season. Even with all of the hustle and bustle, there is still something special about this time of year...

Happy Thanksgiving
Posted Wednesday, November 26, at 4:35 PM

I want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Hopefully, everyone will get plenty of turkey and all the trimmings. After Thanksgiving (the day after Thanksgiving) it is time to put our running shoes on and find those Christmas bargains. In the past I have not been great at the "early bird" sales. ...

Ready for basketball?
Posted Monday, November 10, at 3:47 PM

Basketball is underway throughout the area and it is an exciting time. I remember well the days of running four nights a week, washing the ballsuits at all hours, eating on the run. I wouldn't trade those days for anything. I am just glad I was a little younger when I was keeping up the pace...
