Have you had enough of Tyree Guyton’s name in the Observer? If so, relax. This is the last week. We have one final report of his visit last Thursday. Anyone driving down Main Street Thursday afternoon would have noticed the parade of shoes on the sidewalk leading to the library door. I think it was one of the many ideas my wife and I came up with while walking around the track one afternoon. We never got to most of them.
Also in this week’s print edition:
Morenci’s proposed budget calls for an increase in spending of about 2%.
The Secretary of State’s mobile office is coming to Morenci May 15-16. Renew your driver’s license without leaving town.
Township residents have until May 13 to file for office to serve on boards.
Want to drop a pile of concrete onto a creek bank? Hold on. The DEQ wants to evaluate your plan first. A local property owner found out that’s how it works.
Rich Foley reviews some of his last 200 columns and David Green tries to assure residents of Lyons that they’re just like everybody else in the area. The editorial praises the library for arranging the Tyree Guyton visit and bringing out a little art in a lot of people.
The Fayette park board discusses the community pool once again.
Morenci’s PTO Fun Night begins at 6 p.m. Friday.
The Army Corps of Engineers, along with several other groups, is studying runoff of soil and manure into streams in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.
OK, there’s your sample of what’s inside the print edition. Of course there’s a lot more.
