EDITOR’S INBOX

To the Editor: I would like to thank my family, friends, church and whole community for all of their encouragement, support, and congratulations during this football season.

Distribution Day volunteers

To the Editor: It has been said, “The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.” Well, this community, called Gladwin County, has compassion in abundance!

Donation thank yous

Each year, as Christmas Kindness catapults to its Distribution Day, our volunteers keep a constant vigil of items still needed. For example, we knew we were really low on warm socks as early as October, so we put the word out to our Gladwin, Beaverton, Rhodes, and Alger communities.

Committed to service

To the Editor: Next week marks the start of a New Year. With it comes new leadership to our state and in our legislature. As your incoming State Representative for the 95th District, I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the residents of Midland and Gladwin counties.

Ross Lake Park lights

To the Editor: This is a thank you to Bob Fruchey who works so diligently, every year, to make Ross Lake Park glow for all to enjoy! The displays hit on every genre but most importantly the beautiful, magical Nativity display. Without the birth of Christ, there would be no Christmas celebration.
This photo was taken at the Gladwin Christmas parade in 2010. At that time, the parade ended in the city park, so they marched past the courthouse and entered the park via the street between the courthouse and the sheriff’s office. After assembling in the park, the community enjoyed a fireworks display. The park was also adorned with lighted decorations. Unfortunately, persistent vandalism put an end to that practice.
