\"\"WINTER IS ONE MONTH OLD<\/p>\n

By: Stan Jordan<\/b><\/p>\n

I hate winter, I have written that before and I haven\u2019t changed my mind. I hate having to wear that heavy coat. I guess my arms and shoulders are weaker. I hate cold weather.<\/p>\n

I have no complaints about the conditions of the highways. Those boys running those big snow plows have done a first class job of keeping the roads clean, and the fellows who keep the city streets clean have done a fine job all in all. I guess I am too old to like winter.<\/p>\n

I can look forward a few months and Louis Beregszazi will be able to operate his Maumee River Cruise Line. We will write more about it later in the summer, but Louie can furnish you with a good canoe or kayak and all the transportation to make the river cruise, and all you need is you, and the birds and animals. There are no mermaids.<\/p>\n

Then in August, Dan and Traci Bowers hold their big Maumee River Raft Race and all are invited to enjoy that. It is more of a lazy cruise than a race. All is for fun and recreation on the river.<\/p>\n

More on both of these activities later on in the season.<\/p>\n

See ya!<\/p>\n

IT\u2019S TIME FOR BASEBALL<\/p>\n

By: Stan Jordan<\/b><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t pay much attention to the NFL anymore for a number of reasons and long ago quit watching the half-time junk. They could do better just having a bunch of high school or college bands. But each sponsoring city wants to out do the others, so I\u2019m sure it will continue as is.<\/p>\n

The 2017 World Series was very good except the Indians were not in the foray.<\/p>\n

They just ran out of steam too early.<\/p>\n

I hope the front office can keep the whole team together, maybe a starting pitcher. The last couple of years the Cleveland Indians have player very good ball, both offense and defense, a little more luck and they could have won the series and the pennant. Their pitching is good and generally so is the bullpen. I don\u2019t think I would change the outfield at all.<\/p>\n

If I was younger, I would take one of those cruises to Goodyear, Arizona and watch the Indians\u2019 and Reds\u2019 spring training. I\u2019ve got spring fever…bad!<\/p>\n

See ya!<\/p>\n

WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE EAGLES<\/p>\n

By: Stan Jordan<\/b><\/p>\n

I read everything I can on wild life, especially the eagles, but it is not always the same as I\u2019m sure location has a lot to do with the birds\u2019 life.<\/p>\n

For instance, I don\u2019t think that our local eagles migrate to the south for winter. I think there is plenty of fish right here and also there is road kill for them to finish up and other food. Their main diet is fish and rabbit or small game.<\/p>\n

Now I have read a number of stories about the northeast, like Maine and New Hampshire and that writer said those eagles migrate to the south. Well I can understand that, they have lots of snow and miserable cold up there and the ground is covered and food can\u2019t be found easily.<\/p>\n

I think in the desert southwest, they don\u2019t need to migrate, maybe for water or fish. I imagine that water would cause a little migration, but again, that is my own outlook.<\/p>\n

All in all the eagle has made a marvelous comeback. For years they were on the endangered list, but not any more and I\u2019m sure glad to see them.<\/p>\n

In Ohio there were 2 pairs and over the years that has increased to 220 pair of eagles, but I think that is a low count now.\u00a0 I think this Maumee River basin is a haven for eagles.<\/p>\n

See ya!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"By: Stan Jordan<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a fine report by Captain Leatherman, the jail administrator, and some pictures of some the new employees at the jail. I believe all are from the area. I suggest you read it. Our new jail is a well formed operation like Jason said it would be. I suggest you read it.<\/p>\n
