I was able to take in two Memorial Day services over the weekend.  I was so happy to see how many people took time out of their busy long weekend to honor those who have served our great country.  Thanks to the men and women of Lindstrom Post 83 and Chisago City Post 272 for all of their time, dedication and hard work put into the programs I observed. I know it was a very long weekend for them, but as a spectator, it was so very much appreciated!

Beginning next week, we will start cutting off those who have yet to pay for subscriptions.  I hate doing this, but the cost of postage has made it really hard to send papers for free.  If you are reading this now, and stop getting the paper in a week or two, don’t worry. Just give us a call at 651-257-5115 and we can take your payment info over the phone. We can get your subscription up and running that same day.  If you don’t like phones (there are some who don’t) you can subscribe online at chisagocountypress.com.  Thanks again for reading.

You can thank me for the Timberwolves circling the drain.  If I would have kept my bandwagon rear-end out of it, you would probably be getting excited for the first ever championship series. But sadly no, Matt had to become one of the biggest Timberwolves fan around. Heck I even bought a Timberwolves t-shirt. I haven’t had a Wolves t-shirt since 1991 (by the way, it was a Doug West t-shirt, not JR Rider).   So, along comes Matt aka “the Cooler” to ruin our season.  I skipped game 4 and they won. I promise to not watch game 5 after that, no promises. Sorry again.

Every time I ask the readers for help or input, you never fail me.  I have another quandary I need your help with.  About a month ago, I started getting plantar fasciitis in my heel.  I remember having it before we had children, so about 25 years ago, and now lucky me it’s back.  

I am positive some of our readers have battled this and hopefully overcome this painful issue.  If you have or someone you know has, please give me advice on a remedy.  You can email me at [email protected].  Any input is greatly appreciated.
