The D. Merl Tipton VFW Post 43 is accepting new members. Don Hunter, current commander, and Tammy Hunter, Auxiliary treasurer and Don's wife, think everyone should join. Because of the coronavirus shut-down, the donation coffers at Post 43 are lower than normal. The local VFW prides itself on giving back to veterans and the community and does so in part, in the form of monetary donations. In the past year, approximately $30,000 has been donated to veterans groups and local community groups...

The crew of the USS Oak Hill was very happy to receive the gifts sent from our community. This photo was sent in an email to Karen Bassler, who organized the donation drop-off. The USS Oak Hill was one of the U.S. Navy ships to be "stuck at sea" during the COVID-19 restrictions and was unable to replenish personal everyday items. Bassler, who is a proud Navy Mom, put the word out and the Cove community came through. We were able to ship 22 boxes of snacks and health and beauty aids to help our...
Last Saturday morning, Stephanie Rhodes of Roaring Spring awoke to find that her porch furniture and that of two other neighbors had been removed from their front porches and put neatly on the street. "Nothing was damaged or stolen so the police weren't called," Rhodes said. Rhodes guesses that the perpetrators acted between 2:30 and 3:30 a.m. Although her son was inside the home with the door open, he didn't hear a thing. The stealth movers moved quickly and quietly without detection. "The...

Special thanks to Michigan State University Extension for these helpful tips as we all manage through challenging times. There are many factors in agriculture that farmers have no control over. Beyond the uncertainty of the weather, destructive crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and short-term incidents such as machinery breaking down or accidents can and do occur. One powerful factor that we always have the opportunity to control, however, is our mindset. Farmers and those within the...
One of the highlights of my trips to Williamsburg is getting to see the two dogs belonging to my parents, Rick and Suzanne Gorsuch. Both are of the breed Havanese. The one on the left is Ginger and right is Max. Both Ginger and Max enjoy our visits home and lounging on the porch, just like their sister, soaking up the sun.

This week’s question is inspired by this weekend’s festivities – Fourth of July! I decided to ask the residents of Williamsburg, What is your favorite memory or a family tradition for the 4th? Here is what a few had to say: Cindy Hicks: When I was a little girl, our family would have a picnic at Raystown. I enjoyed swimming and playing with my sister and cousin. Later, we would go watch fireworks. After a day of swimming and playing in the sun, you were so sleepy and the cozy, sleepy feeling was the best. Jason Eggleston: Sitting on the steps...

This week’s recipes are dedicated to two things that Miss Judy loves – chocolate and peanut butte...
