Traffic along the street leading to the Newton Moose Lodge was exceptionally high Monday morning, but if anyone tried to pull in to the parking lot they would have been met with barricades.

Nothing physically salvageable remains of the Newton Moose Lodge after it caught fire Sunday night.

By Curt SwarmI must be getting old. I find I can now sit down and read and enjoy high-brow intellectual, philosophical, God-consciousness books and get a lot of good out of them. It probably has something to do with me being ill with what might be a catastrophic illness and thinking about mortality. Don’t get me wrong, if I go, I know where I’m going, and I’m at peace with that. If I stay it’s because there is more work for me to do, people to help, God to serve.
