Poetry corner Where are you? By Sallee A. Poole

There is discord as many think only of themselves - of power and personal gain. Their music becomes discordant and loud as they threaten with fists and guns. But there is also peace, Photos courtesy of Susie Zag birds singing, crickets calling, or snowflakes falling, Posts from the coast the scent of flowers and fresh cut hay, kind words spoken with hope and love as many continue taking care of the Earth, So now I’m a farmer its creatures and each other.

So I guess the correct answer to my neighbors’ ques- tion was, yes there were farms, but at the time, my inter- est level was low. After Ron and I moved to RMV, we discovered our community had three farms, one being smack in the mid- dle of our neighborhood. As residents, we can join the farm program. But this is not community farming the way you might think of it. Ron and I don’t have a little piece of land where we grow our own vegetables. Instead we have pro- fessional farmers who research the best varieties for our

Winter Sports: What you need to know

With the winter sports season finally starting this week, there are many issues and questions re- garding the rules and requirements for players and fans as games get going. Before you head out to cheer on your favorite team here are the things you need to know.

ATHLETE TESTING Wrestlers will be required to test prior to each scheduled meet. The MDHHS and the MHSAA will use the same testing pilot program that was installed on a trial basis for the conclusion of the football and volleyball tournaments. If a wrestler tests negative, they would be allowed to remove the mask during individual matches. Masks must be worn at all other times including non competi- tion activities. If a wrestler tests positive, contact tracing must be used to identify any other close Dan Hardenbrook contacts on the team.
