Spring has finally sprung and before you know it, the U.S. 25 Yard Sale will be here.  Grant County had a wonderful turn-out last year and this year will be even better. This year’s date is June 6, June 7 and June 8 and now is the time to start getting ready.  We have established the first Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in June every year for the yard sale.  

Where did respect
for others go?
I would like to commend Deborah Lucas Angel for her recent column “What a waste!”. She was right on the money concerning laziness of shoppers. As an employee of Wal-Mart, I see this everyday. When we find items from the freezer or coolers, we are required by the state to throw these items away. We also throw away any item that the customer leaves at the checkout aisle because they do not want them and do not feel it is their place to put them back where they got them.

Since I don’t tweet, text or e-mail I must revert to the age-old method of communicating by “taking a pen to hand” and besides my ribbon on the typewriter has faded away.
Yes, it’s old-fashioned and outdated, as many things in life, all except memories, those never fade away. Memories are sometimes the only things we have left of the past.
And so it seems that is the case with the burning of the building of the Dry Ridge Consolidated Colored School, now a memory.

Arsonists must have
not been thinking
To the person or persons unknown:
What was in your mind the night you torched the 90-year-old building in Grant County Park?
