she says.

the time spent with my family.
In this busy day and age, it is
important to make family
time a priority and to make
the most of each opportunity
that we have to spend with our

Holidays are over and after
the long weekend the Friday

first meal on the menu is roast

Prime times for collisions
are dawn and dusk: 5 a.m. to 7
a.m. and 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.
The best advice is, slow
down. Visibility is greatly
reduced at night, and so is
your reaction time.
When you can, avoid
driving during dusk and
dawn.

`Dirty
trick'
upsets
writer
THE EDITOR,
Good people do not play
dirty tricks on others.
Last week, I happened to
see a woman boldy drive on
our property, deposit a child's
dirty stinking diaper, full of
feces into our barbecue, then
leave. We called the police.
This is the second time we
have had to call police about
this person.
We now must go shopping
for a new barbecue.
