Reviewing the resolutions

There are roughly 2 ½ months left in 2021 and I was thinking it’s probably time to take a look at where I am with the resolutions I made this year. When I made them during the final few days of 2020, I didn’t write down a specific number. I figure most of the resolutions are a work in progress.

Town Talk

Students from Creighton University are in town this week doing volunteer work. They are going to help Town Talk place the greens on the golf course holes Friday. The completion of the miniature golf course has gone much slower than we anticipated. We have been short on monies.

Town Talk

My oldest greatnephew, Gideon, is a baseball player and being not the least bit prejudiced, I would say a pretty good one, too. His two main positions are first base and pitcher.

Nine more COVID deaths reported

The number of COVID-19 deaths in Pottawatomie and Lincoln Counties rose by nine, and the new positive cases are up again by more than 300, the most recent Oklahoma State Department of Health figures show.

Coon hunting

Someone posed the question in an online group: “What is the most unusual story you’ve ever covered?” That was the easiest question I answered all week. It was the coon hunters’ convention at the fairgrounds in Ada in 1980.

Editorial

Meeker’s Town Board informally has agreed to continue with the process of annexing about eight square miles into the Town’s limits. That was the consensus of the five Trustees during their meeting last week. They could only discuss the issue, because the agenda didn’t call for taking any action.
