Last Thursday at midnight Michel and Gordon Griesner shot a rattlesnake with 5 rattles. The dog woke them up by barking at the snake. The next day there was a rattlesnake on the driveway and it too was dispatched! They are on the move looking for a place to hole up for the winter.

Carmen Frymire thought she was going to dinner with Phil, Lisa and Fred and had to stop at the clubhouse so Lisa could get something. Once in the door, with everyone saying, “Surprise!” Carmen realized she had been tricked. It was her 80th birthday and many family and friends had gathered to celebrate it with her. There was a lovely dinner and cake to enjoy. Carmen thanked all who came and was really surprised. Many family and friends spoke about Carmen and what she has done for the community, including Pastor Tanis who thanked her for the use of their property for Easter Sunrise Service and opening her home afterwards. It was a great party!
