Welcome to summer 2025. Summer began yesterday at 9:41 p.m. One of the paradoxes of summer is that the days will now get shorter by 2 to 3 minutes per day until the winter solstice, which will be Sunday, Dec. 21 at 9:02 a.m. Then the days will become longer by 2 to 3 minutes per day. I am sure your house, like my house, has been bombarded by folks calling, writing and just showing up to see if your house sustained any hail damage after a couple recent hail storms.

Every so often our elected officials come up with an idea that is so far-fetched that you must wonder if they got into the happy tobacco too far. I refer to Vice President JD Vance’s request that the American people have more children. Vance even proposed giving each family that has another child $5,000.

As I write this, I have my right leg elevated and have been a slacker for a while now. I am paying the piper. Paying the piper is defined by the Collins Dictionary of American Language as “to pay for one's pleasures or bear the consequences of one's actions.”On a bright August day in 1969 I was traveling south on Chestnut Avenue in Marshfield on my motorcycle. As I approached 4th Street, a guy did a rolling stop at the stop sign then pulled out in front of me.

117th Street in the village of Lake Hallie is all torn up. Formerly known as Thronson Road, it is the main access road to the Lake Hallie baseball, softball and soccer fields. Along with improving the street, a bike lane and water lines are being installed. The water lines create a “looped” system, which will make more water available for firefighting purposes. The water will also get rid of an iron problem the area has had for as long as I have lived in Lake Hallie.
