We couldn’t help but feel sad for the snow creatures that were created in January and had been in the area for over a month. The 'Snow bunny lost his ears, then his head. Some snowpeople began to lean forward while others were completely destroyed by the warmer temperatures. Spring made a noisy announcement last Friday. A thunderstorm arrived in the early morning hours. Then, a heavy fog set in as temperatures climbed into the mid-40’s. Winter made it known that it is not ready to leave when a major storm hit much of the area on Sunday. The Lakeland area, however, once again escaped the storm, the only notation of it being the cooler temperatures. A storm is in the forecast for the middle of the week. Will we have one? Most people will agree we will since it’s sectional week and the weather almost always puts up a fuss at tourney time! —o— AMONG THOSE celebrating birthdays today is Janette Cone.

Theo Beer of Our Town. —o— HERE’S A bit of wit and wisdom: You can pretty well judge your importance in an organization by how hard it is to take a vacation. If you have to work hard to get things in shape before you take off, then struggle to make up for lost time after you get back, it's a pretty good indication your services would be , hard to replace. - —oWE WOULD be amiss if we did not add our best wishes to the Wawasee Warriors this week as they participate in the sectional tournament at Triton. The Warriors will play the winner of the Triton - Tippecanoe Valley game. The Trojans and the Vikings will meet tonight in the opening game of the tourney. Go get them Warriors!
