Salutations, readers. I imagine most
of you have resolutions firmly estab-
lished, with great determination to
keep them this year. I know I have
some self-improvement to work on
myself, and some of it includes main-
taining good health. So it reallyis in my
own best interest to keep a couple of
mine. I would like several more years
ahead of me to enjoy grandchildren,
seeing them graduate from college, get
married and see some great-grand-
children. My great-grandparents,
grandparents and parents have man-
aged that, so I think I can too. But
again, a good deal of it is up to me.
The good people at Community
Sharing have not as yet given me the
winter dates that theywill be open, but
I can assure you, you will know when I
do. I know they worked very hard put-
ting together their food boxes, cloth-
ing and toys for those in need to take
home for Christmas. On behalf of the
rest of us, I would like to thank all their
volunteers for the hard work and long
hours needed to perform that task.
An eReader class will be held at the
Lewiston Library Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 6
p.m. Learn to borrow library books on
your Kindle, Nook, iPad, or Android
tablet. Up to 20 students can attend
free, courtesy of the Friends of the
Lewiston Library. Call 786-2985 to reg-
ister.
Our I-L Bands and their director,
Kathy Nieman, deserve a big thank you
also for the wonderful Christmas con-
cert. I have attended many concerts
over the years and this one was a
record-setting one. There were more
people than ever that attended, and I
believe that this year's 6th grade band
put on one of the best first-time perfor-
mances that I've heard. The 7th and
8th grade band is always impressive,
as is the high school band. Their be-
havior and attentiveness to the other
bands as they perform is to be com-
mended, as well. All in all, it makes it
very easy to see why they come home
with ratings of"one" when they com-
pete at Festivals and Solo and En-
sembles. They all should be very proud
of themselves.
Here is a little bit of information that
was new to me. If you bum food, place
chopped onions in the container you
had the bumed stuff in, along with
boilingwater. Let it sit for about 5 min-
utes before you clean it. That is sup-
posed to do the trick for you. Haven't
had to try it yet, thank goodness, but
I'll try to remember it if I do.
This week I'm sending best wishes
for a happy anniversary to Gary and
Oril Ann Perkins, Jan. 2; Garrett and
Hollie Marsh and Leonard and Dolores
Yasenchak, Jan. 4; and Chet and
Cynthia Janssens, Jan. 8.
Best birthday wishes are extended to
Sue Slater, Jan. 2; Gerry Cousins, Lucy
Fletcher, Kevin Moors and Brandon
Stuck, Jan. 3; Faith Battle and Michael
Lauret, Jan. 4; Kathy Black and Doris
Ellis, Jan. 5; Mickey Forrester, Norm

Schwark and Jake Sherbonda, Jan. 7.

Remember: Snowplows need room to groom!
The Michigan Depart-
ment of Transportation
(MDOT) and the County
Road Association of Michi-
gan (CRAM) would like to
remind everyone that"Road
crews put their lives on the
line everydayto keep Michi-
gan roads safe for every-
one," said State Transporta-
tion Director KirkT. Steudle.
"Motorists must remember
to drive with caution no
matter how much salt we
use or how often the roads
are plowed."
A steady decrease in road
funding and an increase in
costs have forced state and
local agencies to alter their
winter maintenance plans
and change plowing priori-
ties. However, one impor-
tant fact has not changed:
road crews must have ample
room in order to safely clear
the many miles of roadway
of snow and ice.
"Motorists must do their
best to minimize distrac-
tions and focus on driving
and changes in road condi-
tions," John Niemela,
CRAM director, said. "Every
year, despite the flashing
lights on snowplow trucks,
poor driver behavior near
snowplows leads to colli-
sions that can be deadly."
MDOT and CRAM offer
the following reminders for
motorists:
* Snowplows have limited
visibility and drivers cannot

Multiple kk, ro
see directly behind their
trucks;
Snowplows often throw
up snow clouds, reducing
visibility on all sides of the
truck;
Distracted driving is dan-
gerous driving. Motorists
should not text or talk on
cell phones while they are
behind the wheel. In fact,
texting while driving is ille-
gal in Michigan;
Motorists should never
attempt to pass a moving
snowplow on the right. With
new wing-plow technology,
the blade can clear the
shoulder and the lane of
travel simultaneously. Me-
torists attempting an illegal
pass through a snow cloud
on the right and/or shoul-
der of the road most likely
won't see the plow blade
and run the risk of a serious
crash; and
Always wear your safety
belt and allow extra time to
reach your destinations this
winter.
Steudle added, "For the
safety of everyone, motor-
ists should use extreme can-
tion when traveling in win-
ter weather conditions. We
can't emphasize this
enough: Snowplows Need
Room to Groom!"
