A special night

Volleyball teams from Fairview and Mio joined forces Oct. 21 for Pink Out, a night of volleyball and fundraising at Mio AuSable Schools. Money raised by Pink Out goes to a fund, administered by Munson Healthcare, to assist Oscoda County cancer patients. Kira Walkup is Munson’s events specialist.

The final quarter

The ink was barely dry on my last column when I noticed the seasonal shift. The days are getting shorter; the nights are getting colder.

Pay attention

Ogemaw County law enforcement was well represented at an International Coffee Day gathering at Meijer in West Branch Oct. 1.

Changing colors

From Rose City to Mio, M-33 flows smoothly, the orange of traffic cones replaced by crisp white lines and the goldenrod-colored stripes dividing the two lanes. What a relief it is to make that drive without dodging the potholes which previously edged the highway.
