A Celebration Of Survival!
A Celebration Of Survival!

Two years ago, the Forest City Owls began a special “pink out” ball game salute for cancer at McNair Field. The color pink dominated the game. It was another example of the Owls continuing commitment to be involved in the community.

Are you being recycled?

   A friend of mine started a business that recycled wood.  That is, he would buy old barns, beams and rafters out of old textile mills, and old wood out of other buildings, and craft it into lots of wonderful, one-of-a-kind products.  For instance, wood flooring and paneling, and he even made furniture out of this old wood.

Outdoor Truths
   I have yet to engage in some serious river fishing this spring. I have been especially busy and it will be at least 2 more weeks until I can jump in my little boat and float down the river. That doesn’t mean that my outdoor activities have stopped; only the ones that involve fish and game. My garden still needs tending and thankfully I am able to do a little cycling with some friends and see some new scenery.
