The weather has been beautiful for the past several weeks, but around the City we have been dealing with a number of problems and issues. As we have tried to make the public aware through radio and facebook, the City has been experiencing some problems with our water system. The City gets the water that we provide by pumping from five different significant wells, and last week the 50hp pump motor on one of our best producing wells gave up after many years of service.
I hope you had a great Mother’s Day weekend. We celebrated at our house on Sunday. We don’t do elaborate gifts but it was great to have Sunday lunch prepared for me by daughter Tina and granddaughter Amber. It was delicious.

Two.
What a strange little word.
Born out of German zwei.
And Old English twa.
And the Latin duo.

Not that there’s anything wrong with one.
The lone wolf.
A solitary oak.
One roadrunner.
Always just one.
Or the sun.
Imagine having two.
One is the number expressing unity.
Forming a whole.
Undivided.
But it can’t be divided evenly.
It takes one to get to two.

We had a great regular season and our youth exceled against area schools. One highlight of the season I would like to share is from a parent of an area town.
