Winter Road Conditions Not Good in Washington Township

Submitted by admin on Wed, 02/13/2019 - 8:01am

Dear Editor,
My statement is short and to the point. Our roads this past cold and icy spell have been more than pathetic. I wish I could pick and choose NOT to pay my township taxes as they seem to pick and choose to do their job. We obviously need new leadership and dedicated workers to keep and maintain our roads better.
Won’t even mention the spring and summer issues.
Linda M. Buol,
Washington Township

A New Definition of ^Health Food^"

Submitted by admin on Wed, 02/13/2019 - 7:58am

Everybody eats. Food can be contentious. Food is often identity; what a culture eats, ritual and rules exist around meals and specific foods. Some foods provide comfort, bring back pleasant memories, give us a sense of place. So called experts always seem to be shifting their opinions on what is healthy or unhealthy to eat.
