Jeff and Kim Cantola, 416 G. St., have been named Cheney's Yard of the month for July. They have lived in this house for just about a year, and are getting acquainted with the well-established yard. Things are blooming at different times, much to their delight. The only planting they have had to do was to replace a tree in the front yard that was taken out by a runaway car. The tree they chose to plant was Aphrodite Althea. The Kiwanis Club and the Gardeners of Cheney...

It is time to leave poker behind and get a life. With 10 credits in hand and a renewed teaching certificate, its north to Alaska. Three days later I rill into Anchorage, sleep challenged but with two live head lights peeking through a mobile mudpack. After a shower, a long winter’s nap and absolutely the best breakfast I’ve ever eaten, I pack off to the district office of education. “What do you teach?” the bland clerk asks. “Language Arts. K-12. Minor in math,” I recite. “Follow me,” she directs and disappears left...
Many of you have probably been camped in a high mountain meadow and awaked to the stars shining brightly overhead. While still snuggled in your warm blankets, you have listened to the mysterious noises of the night as the eastern sky begins to show light. You hold your breath and hear the distant reassuring tinkle of the horse bells. Then you know that God is close by and everything is all right with your world. SYMPHONY OF THE DAWN Ode to an old camp cook by Vern Hopkins The camp in sleeping silence lay Stars fading one by...

I grew up with strong rituals, a set hour for bedtime and arising the next morning, three meals served much the same time each day, every day, home by 6:00 each evening. A day for laundry. A day for ironing, etc. Dependable, scheduled, ritualized. Raised in a Catholic Church and attending a parochial school further entrenched age old rituals that were engrained down through generations, becoming an integral part of one’s being. We are a ritualized society, ruled by the seasons, accomplishing tasks in a time of accepted n...

Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind The refrain from a song by Seals & Crofts always heralds summer’s joys for me. I listened to it while writing this piece. “Summer Breeze” reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972. Now my mind drifts to 1972. I was nine years old and I remember soaking up sunshine & pool water at the Bern Township pool. I’m taken back to that delightful, simple time when anything was possible and everything was perfect. Reverie. I’ve just closed my eyes again Climb...

By John McCallum Managing Editor CHENEY — Sidewalks and software were the order of resolution business for the City Council at its June 8 meeting. Council unanimously agreed to an increase of $12,050 to a small contract with 5 Star Concrete for additional sidewalk repairs at various locations around the city. The previous $7,500 contract for sidewalk repairs had been signed off on by Mayor Chris Grover without council approval since it fell under the $10,000 threshold for small contracts. Most of the 650 square feet of o...

It started out as just another boring day of homeschool with easy peasy math problems first thing in the morning and then we did cut outs of letters and matched the letters to words. I’m tired of staying home from school because of the stupid virus. BORING!!!!!!! Well, I was glad when Aunt Suzie came over to take mom and me out to lunch at the new Mexican restaurant. We could go there because they have outdoor tables. So we got to the restaurant and we got a table near three ladies. One of the ladies had a cute little dog s...

Debbie Morgan was happy to receive a $25 gift certificate to Jarms Ace Hardware as part of her reward for being named Cheney's Yard of the Month by the Kiwanis and Gardeners of Cheney clubs.
