Is this behavior in the city water?

Anyone who had any knowledge of this should resign immediately including Toni.

Actually our sale ended last week but we still have great plants left over. Each one is a donation of $1 or more if you can afford it. Choose what you want, I will pack the order and deliver it to an area of Kurt Johnson's Car Sales. Just e-mail me at gardenladyx@gmail.com or you can call to 814-590-9010.

That's one of the best things you can do besides making a close friend with your garden plants so you can see when they are not right and do something about it before there is permanent damage. Want to do a Bio Char workshop at your house? I'd be happy to present it for you and any friends.

Canada needs to learn how to monitor their forests in preparation for forest fires. Yes, there's a LOT of acreage there, but they can cover it before, or cover it after! In the US, they do not clean forests by controlled burns or build fire lines before a potential fire. Forest fires are inevitable. If they put 1 100th of the time and money into preparation that they use cleaning up the aftermath, the smoke wouldn't be threatening the green nuts.

BEFORE any new councilmen are placed on the board, the city voters should be allowed to set up what the councilmen get, and WHAT THEY DON'T. Giving them all of these extensive rewards opens them to pressure on votes and makes them bend to pressure in order to keep their job. Council isn't about a job, it's about service to the community!

Due to the unavailability of the workers to dismantle the canopy till Thursday evening, we will still be available at the plant sale till then. New plants will be added as possible. If you want to visit but need to know when someone will be there for sure, just call me at 814-590-9010 to check.

And she's handling it like champ!

We're still at the same location as we have always been, the former Charlie's Alternators, now Kurt Johnson's Detail Shop. As usual, plants are at least a $1 donation each and more if you can afford it. Usually people give us much more because it's to support the work of the BUDS Gardeners projects. All plants are grown in paper pots that can be dropped right into the garden. There's no plastic waste and the plants grow wonderfully. You can check the open bottom for good quality roots which should not be tightly packed and white, not brown. Plants are small so we have less breakage when transporting them, but actually a smaller plant transplants better and crops ripen at the same time as larger plants. I'll ask Steve to post the list of plants which are only the spring bedding plants. We can also provide freshly dug perennials when you call. Hours will be 10 - 6 unless we are short a worker. I'll be there on Tuesday myself, so depending on how many plants are left, the sale may last another day. If you cannot attend, then send me an e-mail and I'll fill an order for you. gardenladyx@gmail.com 814-590-9010.

Hysterical! I think she's counting exercises and thinking what a bunch of hooey this is!

What an amazing child!! Thank you for sharing her journey!

The original family was Ed, Joe, Grace, John, Louis, Francis and a couple more whose names I can't remember. Ed was a lawyer (extremely honorable) and served as the City Solicitor. I think, 4 children, 3 girls, one last boy. Toni is his daughter. At least one of her sisters work with her. Joe was like the head of the family, earning money and making sure the kids all got educations in good jobs. Grace was a nurse for Dr LJ Cherry a well know General Practitioner and Surgeon in our area. There was another sister also. Francis dealt with financial matters. He even went to homes to do taxes. John was Judge John Cherry, an extraordinary man and legal entity with a beautiful heart. I am proud to have known all of them. They worked hard and were for the common man, not the high and mighty. They were all very personable, kind, hard-working and would even come to a barn dance or housewarming if invited. Most of the grandchildren have soaked into the woodwork of life other than Judge Paul Cherry. Toni was raised to be elegant, socially accepted anywhere, well-educated but does not seem to have followed some of the traits of her family. She seems to be more driven, stressed and private. When Herm first asked her to become the City Solicitor, she refused (according to the newspaper). For some reason she finally agreed. Now she is here, in the news, possibly in a pile of trouble, definitely a mess. Just my memories and opinion.

I would think he recused himself because of possible dealings with people in this case, not necessarily Toni. There's a lot more to this case yet to be discovered.

May we hear from someone how she is doing? I keep thinking of her and would like to fill in the people of the church who are praying for her.

Bravo that they are for you and in discreet places but our young people may not have that much common sense as to how they choose to aim their future and it's consequences. I think this falls right in with kids who are convinced that the pre-teen body (which almost all kids hate) in their youth may well mature at some time to their liking. Then they can adjust as they see fit. If they are old and mature enough to cut off parts of their body then they can also assume responsibility for the reactions and consequences of those actions that they will receive. I am on the other side of the page in that I felt God did not make us to waste unusual amounts of money on our appearance, nor did I want to have people gawking at what wasn't the norm then. I'm so glad that I had the sense not to do such a thing to myself. I would have regretted and felt limited by it it as an adult. I used to go eat at a place where the one waitress had some sort of a satanic face on her chest that I absolutely hated to look at. Under her clothes when she's working is fine, but impressionable kids shouldn't have that stuff pushed in front of their faces, thinking it's the norm when they have not yet learned what the norm entails or where it will take you in life. Education and financial responsibility need to be learned and earned first. They also need to learn to respect the skin that God gave them and treasure the normalcy and health of it. I am always suspicious of any person who has vast amounts of tattoos that they choose to wear like a billboard. I suspect that the statement they are making is a plea for others to admire them or to warn them to stay away when all they really want is to be loved and cared for by someone else.

When my now 30 year old granddaughter was about 2-3, I did that for her, as fast as I could without getting into trouble. Of course she thought I was really jumping over the creek. Later when we were talking to our son who absolutely loved the Dukes of Hazzard, she popped up with the information that "Mammy" did that too! Everyone but my husband laughed who looked at me and said accusingly, "Where do you do that?". Really Pampa, I jump our van over creeks just for the fun of it all the time! Where were you hatched?

Maybe he's just not as easily thrilled as we locals are!

He was not in attendance at the Morningside Memorial Day service either.

How is the little sweetheart this evening. At night, things seem to get worse, so if she's doing well tonight, then it's a great sign!

Does anyone know of someone who uses carbon fiber to make repairs?

They are seeking attention, so if it makes them feel better, then they just follow the crowd and do it regardless of how it really makes them look, just like tattoos, smoking, drinking, etc.

Faith was anointed for her healing today at church by a member on her behalf. Like some in Jesus' time who were healed simply by touching His robe or others who asked for healing on someone else's behalf, I hope this proves a blessing for her pain. We listen weekly for the good news of her healing.

May she soon be smiling and comfortable!

In the past, they have discouraged some of the smaller organizations in DuBois from having booths there. It would be nice to see more locals selling interesting foods.
