BACK TO NORMAL We've received tidbits for the column, that were meant to go in this past week, but as susual just as I thought all wa^settling down into a normal routine after the arrival of our son, I unexpectedly ended up back in the hospital for minor surgery, and everything fell to the wayside for a while. , But I am feeling much better, so we\ shall try once again to bring you the latest happenings around the shores.

God willing, I will be here next week, or as soon as I have more to pass on to you, so send your news along! POET S CORNER BUDDIES Here they come hand in hand, Walking Down the road. They're trying to get to liquorland And buy something cold. "" Oh, they must be eighty, Holding each other up; One's got the bottle, The pther the cup. It's reallyja sad sight, Two tiredjold men, Every day's a real f\ght Trying^to get that ginr WATCH FOR CHILDREN^ ^ With our shores children once again back in school and making the daily trip to the bus stops and home each day, we ask that all driving through the subdivision please keep an eye open, and be alert to these little ones walking along the roads, or crossing the streets. Please obey all stop signs, including the stop sign on the school buses when they pick up, and let children off. Do not try and drive around the buses when they are stopped. A child can appear from behind a school bus in seconds, often too late for you to stop. Let's make this a safe return to school this fall, and all use extra caution while driving through our area. I cannot stress enough the need I watch them every day Since their wives passed away, Trying to get to liquorland And it's much too far away. & Rut if th.nf's what keeps 'em going, Who am I to degrade? When I'm to make a showing I'll probably be in the shade. But yesterday out the window I saw only one, " y\ The othgr met his wife, There are are clouds and no more sun. Tomorrow the road will be empty As far as I can see^. And I hope they're all together, Having a drink on me. Bob Zmich Board Members Pass Ordinance The last board meeting of August was held Tuesday evening the 24th and it was a short meeting. Ordinance No. 157, which is the annual tax levy, was passed. Also, you may have noticed how nice the beach house is starting to look with a new coat of paint and a new sidewalk. There have been some problems with people not complying with the village parking permit ordinance. This ordinance was created to prevent the road edges from breaking away. The permit is free and can be obtained from Trustee Ron K rum see at 385- 8589. If people continue to disobey this ordinance and the road edges keep breaking away, the price of vehicle stickers will continue to rise to pay for the damaged roads. Also, complaints came in about area juveniles drinking and fighting down at the beach. Both of these of­ fenses are illegal. The next board meeting will be on Sept. 14.' SYMPATHIES One of our dearest and long time village residents, Lorraine Frost, passed away recently after a short illness. The Frost family has lived on Spring road for many many years.

Betty Messer SunnysjdeArea 044-2494 Village Board Studies Bids On Tuesday, Aug. 17, the village held its regular second meeting of the month and bids for snow removal were opened. The village board is taking a couple of weeks to study them before awarding the contract to anyone. The decision should come at the next meeting. The tax levy for the fiscal year 1982- 83 was approved by the board. Work will be starting on a council table for the village hall. The board has approved construction of a table, which will enable the audience to view the board without having to look at someone's back. Name plates iden­ tifying each official will be in place also. This will be a big improvement over the present council table. Little by little the village hall is taking shape, it took some years to get the hall erected and now comes the task of getting the proper office equipment with a look to the future when all business will be conducted from the hall. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the village will be Tuesday, Sept. 7, at 8 p.m. in the village hall, 1515 Channel Beach.

NO NEWS IS NOT GOOD NEWS If you are wondering why there hasn't been a column lately, I guess it's because this has been a pretty quiet summer. No one called with any news. If you have done something special or took a vacation how about a call? Or jot down your news and drop it at the house.
