There are several ways you can affect the quality and quantity of water that fl ows into the sewer system:

Reduce impervious sur-faces such as roofs, drive-ways and concrete patios, as they do not allow rainwater to fi lter back into the soil, forcing the water into the storm drains. Instead, try wood decks, gravel, or pervi-ous driveways and mulched paths instead of paved.

Use responsible lawn care when applying chemicals to your lawn. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions to avoid over applying as these chemicals can run off into the sewer system and degrade our rivers.

Conserve your water us-age by using less water on your lawn and gardens. By using less water you will avoid chemical runoff into the storm drains.

Don’t misuse your storm drains. Storm drains are not trash cans. Adopt a storm drain near you and keep it free from garbage, leaves and lawn debris!

Holy Trinity Preschoolers went on a fi eld trip to Science Central where they partici-pated in a liquid exploration lab. The students got to use droppers to see the shapes water can make and they also mixed colors in water. The children enjoyed touring Sci-ence Central. They had fun playing in the water table, crawling through the sewer, and pretending to jump on the moon.

On Friday Oct. 3, Holy Trinity Preschool will be

holding their annual fall festival fundraiser from 4:30-7:00. The fall festival will have free games for the children to play, a chili din-ner, silent auction, bake sale, and several vendors. All the proceeds from the event go to Holy Trinity Preschool’s scholarship fund.

The scholarship fund is used to assist families with the monthly tuition so that all children in the community can get the opportunity to attend preschool.

WHAT’S SMARTER – PAYING OFF DEBTS OR INVESTING?

It probably doesn’t hap-pen as much as you’d like, but from time to time, you have some extra disposable income. When this hap-pens, how should you use the funds? Assuming you have adequate emergency savings – typically, three to six months’ worth of liv-ing expenses – should you pay off debts, or fund your IRA or another investment account?

There’s no one “correct” answer – and the priority of these options may change, depending on your fi nancial goals. However, your first step may be to consider what type of debt you’re thinking of paying down with your extra money. For example, if you have a consumer loan that charges a high rate of in-terest – and you can’t deduct the interest payments from your taxes – you might con-clude that it’s a good idea to get rid of this loan as quickly as possible.

Still, if the loan is rela-tively small, and the pay-ments aren’t really imping-ing on your monthly cash fl ow that much, you might want to consider putting any extra money you have into an investment that has the potential to offer longer-term benefi ts. For instance, you might decide to fully fund your IRA for the year before

tackling minor debts. (In 2014, you can contribute up to $5,500 to a traditional or Roth IRA, or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older.)

When it comes to making extra mortgage payments, however, the picture is more complicated. In the f irst place, mortgage interest is typically tax deductible, which makes your loan less “expensive.” Even beyond the issue of deductibility, you may instinctively feel that it’s best to whittle away your mortgage and build as much equity as possible in your home. But is that always a smart move?

Increasing your home equity is a goal of many homeowners – after all, the more equity you have in your home, the more cash you’ll get when you sell it. Yet, if your home’s value rises – which, admittedly, doesn’t always happen – you will still, in effect, be build-ing equity without having to divert funds that could be placed elsewhere, such as in an investment. In this situa-tion, it’s important to weigh your options. Do you want to lower your mortgage debts and possibly save on cumu-lative interest expenses? Or would you be better served to invest that money for potential growth or interest payments?

Here’s an additional con-sideration: If you tied up most of your money in home equity, you may well lose

some fl exibility and liquidity. If you were to fall ill or lose your job, could you get mon-ey out of your home if your emergency savings fund fell short? Possibly, in the form of a home equity line of credit or a second mortgage, but if you were not bringing in any income, a bank might not even approve such a loan – no matter how much equity you have in your house. You may more easily be able to sell stocks, bonds or other investment vehicles to gain access to needed cash.

Getting some extra mon-ey once in a while is a nice problem to have. Still, you won’t want to waste the op-portunity – so, when choos-ing to pay down debts or put the money into investments, think carefully.

OCTOBER IS NAT’L. ORTHODONTIC HEALTH MONTH

“Live longer . . . be hap-pier . . . putting on a healthy smile is the answer!”

The summary conclusion of a 75-year Harvard study on wellness and success is very simple –“Happiness is love.” (Vaillant, George E. – Aging Well, 2002). Happiness is love seems simple enough. However, it can be seen as a circular event, much like the riddle of the chicken and the egg. Which comes fi rst happiness or love? The research of Paul Ekman PhD reveals that simply making a facial expression (a smile) can produce the emotional feelings normally associated with that smile, and its physi-ologic cues can be clinically measured. Whether subjects smiled spontaneously or on purpose, the activity in their brains was virtually the same. They felt happy.” This concept has been observed by others.

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

Taking these research fi ndings and distilling them, life is happier when wearing a smile. Smiling through tough times, and through challenges, makes us feel . . .

and truly be happier in the end. In my offi ce, we have a purpose statement that is simple but powerful – “In-spiring Genuine Smiles”. That statement is rooted in the concept that what you project with your expres-sions, emotions and attitude can elicit a happy response in those around you.

How do you feel about your smile? Do you love what you see, or do you cringe when you smile at yourself in the mirror? Does your confidence exude joy and welcome a bigger smile in return? If you answer no to those questions, what can you do about that? Straight teeth, white teeth, healthy gums are all things that look great and refl ect positively on the individual. Crooked teeth, dingy teeth and uneven or swollen gums all distract from the positive image you may wish to project. Orth-odontic treatment addresses the alignment of teeth, the levels of the gum tissues and the overall balance of the smile and face. Good oral health also improves overall physical well-being. Individuals with gum disease have higher rates of high blood pressure, heart dis-ease and stroke. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, people with gum disease are almost twice as likely to have heart disease. Actually, common oral disorders, including gum disease, cavities and missing teeth, are as good at predicting heart disease as cholesterol levels.

Long life, a healthy heart, quality of relationships, even love and happiness are all tied in tightly to your oral health and how much time you spend smiling. If you don’t love your smile, are you less likely to use it? If you’re not smiling, you’re truly missing out on the best that life can offer. Consider pursuing orthodontic treat-ment, tooth whitening or even simply a dental cleaning if there are aspects of your smile that diminish how of-ten you are willing to smile. Being proactive with your smile and oral health can be dramatically life changing!

DON’T FAKE YOUR FAITH

By Rev. Gerry Weesner, Maples U. M. Church

“Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. ‘By what au-thority are you doing these things?’ they asked. ‘And who gave you this authority?’ ‘What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the fi rst and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ ‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. ‘Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go. ‘Which of the two did what his father wanted?’ ‘The first,’ they answered. Jesus said to them, ‘I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.’” Matthew 21:23, 28-32 (NIV)

The short parable in to-day’s gospel lesson is a por-tion of Jesus’ response to some religious leaders’ chal-lenge to His authority. Jesus has been teaching in their realm, the temple, and they have had about enough of

Him. In Matthew 21:23, they come to Jesus asking, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” They want to know who Jesus, a rabbi with no training and a ragtag group of followers, thinks He is.

Af ter addressing the question directly before Him, Jesus tells this parable of the two sons, probably to get the religious leaders to consider their assumptions about their own authority. Are they doing what God has called them to do, or are they just faking their faith? Being a Christian is not just about what one says. Jesus’ point with the temple leaders that day was not to urge them to abandon their religious practices. Rather, He was reminding them, and us, that outward religion is meaningless and incomplete. Many people have joined the church and are religious and think they are Christians, but they are not. They can perform their church rituals and give mental assent to the doctrines, but they are not genuine believers unless there has been a transforma-tion in their lives.

Jesus is calling us, you and me, to go out into the world to do the work our Father has asked us to do and to have genuine heart faith.

DO YOU BELIEVEIN MIRACLES?

It had been a week of deci-sion making for the congre-gation of The Church House of Grabill, including that of purchasing the building which they had rented for the past several years.

On this day in September, however, the church was having a yard sale to help with the expenses of sup-porting their missionaries. A lady bearing some items to contribute to the sale ap-proached one of the sales persons and presented them to her. “Thank you from the missionaries,” said the sales person. “And what do your missionaries teach?” asked the stranger. After a few mo-ments of conversation, she handed over an envelope and quickly left.

As the sa les per son opened the envelope, she was shocked at fi nding fi rst a $100 bill and then many more bills totaling $2,400. As the others gathered round, the words of it being a miracle was on their lips. Surely the lady was sent from God to help the church in this hour of great need. But part of the miracle could have been that she responded. The church thanks her and praises God for His goodness.

But to answer the ladies’ question, what do the mis-sionaries teach? The greatest miracle sent from God of all times was His only Son. Born of a Jewish virgin, He taught until the time that He was crucifi ed on a cross

where He shed His blood for the forgiveness of the sins of evil mankind, was buried and rose again . . . this the gospel of Jesus Christ which has resounded through the ages.

The fact of sins being forgiven through His blood alone, not by baptism or speaking in tongues or mighty prayers or by good works, but by God’s grace. Even the doctrine of good works to earn salvation (which in reality negates grace) is rather like a buggy and a horse. The buggy fol-lows the power of the horse, even so works follow the power of salvation. In heav-en, tens of thousands sang not a new song of works, but of the redeeming power of the precious blood of the Lamb. Rev. 5:9-11.

The giving of the money was a miracle and was ap-preciated. How much more the miracle of God’s gra-cious gift . . . His grace. It is a miracle. Do you believe it?

– Paul Schmucker

PREVENTING, TREATING FOOD POISONING

By State Senator Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn)

One in six people in America experience food poisoning every year, often mistaking it for the fl u or a virus. Unlike viral illnesses, it is not spread from person to person. It is caused by toxins that grow in foods due to poor care and improper temperatures.

It is impor tant to be informed so that you can distinguish the difference between food poisoning and a virus. There are more than 250 different types of bac-teria that can cause a food-borne illness. Salmonella and E. coli are the most common types of bacteria that con-taminate food.

Food poisoning symp-toms like nausea, upset stom-ach or vomiting can begin suddenly and violently. They will appear as quickly as 30 minutes to four hours after consuming bacteria, depend-ing on the cause. Food poi-soning is not accompanied by a fever, which is one way to distinguish it from a virus.

Food poising can be scary and even life-threatening in serious cases. Here are some steps to take to prevent com-ing in contact with contami-nated food:

Wash your hands – It is important to wash your hands before and after pre-paring food in order to en-sure you have rid your hands of all harmful bacteria.

Cook with separate uten-sils – Using separate cutting boards, knives and other utensils when preparing raw foods, like fish and meat, will lower your risk of cross-contaminating food.

Cook meat to the proper temperature – Using a meat thermometer when cooking is important so that you know your food is being cooked at the right temperature and thoroughly.

Clean all fruits and vege-tables – Fruits and vegetables can become contaminated with bacteria when being transferred from the fi eld to the store. Be sure to wash all produce before eating in or-der to get rid of bad bacteria.

Store foods at the proper temperature – It is highly recommended to store food at low temperatures to pre-

vent spoilage or bacteria from growing.

Regularly check expira-tion dates – By cleaning out your fridge or pantry each week, you can be sure to get rid of old and expired food that could be contaminated by bacteria.

When treating food pois-ing, staying hydrated is key to ridding your body of harmful bacteria. This allows you to fl ush out the toxins in your system and speed up your recovery. Most cases of food poisoning last from one to three days. Fortunately, many people who come in contact with contaminated food recover without any professional treatment. If you experience severe symptoms or a fever of over 100 degrees, seek medical assistance imme-diately.

SMART TIPS TO MAKE FALL LAWN CARE EASIER

(StatePoint) A beauti-ful lawn is important for a lovely home, but when those autumn leaves begin to fall, some extra effort is required to keep things picture per-fect. This once meant fi ring up noisy machinery and piling up bag after bag of yard waste. Now that we live in more environmentally-conscientious times, this might not seem like such a responsible idea.

Doing things by hand doesn’t have to lead to a sore back. Learning some helpful hints can make your lawn really stand out this year and help you get the job done in a breeze.

Spring is when the lawn and garden really come into full bloom, but fall is when plants are storing energy and nutrients to have ready when the season turns. Like an athlete training in the offseason, get a step up on the competition by building a good foundation. Now’s the time to fertilize and aerate since roots keep growing and storing energy even when above-ground growth slows during the colder months.

Don’t forget to keep water-ing too!

Weeding can be made less painful if you adhere to the old gardener’s trick of completing this task after it rains. When the earth is dry, it’s harder to pull out the whole weed without break-ing off the top. After rainfall, the ground is soft, making it easier to pluck out entire weeds. They can easily be added to leaves and other debris that needs to be hauled away.

Leaves can smother your lawn if enough of them build up, preventing sunlight from reaching the grass and in-creasing the chances of lawn disease. Collecting the leaves in bags allows your lawn to breathe and receive proper sunlight.

Good posture can also prevent backaches when raking leaves. Keep your head up and back straight. Relieve back pressure by rak-ing in the “scissors” stance: placing one foot forward and the other back and reversing position when comfortable.

Opt for ergonomically designed rakes, shears and pruners that require less hand strength and provide a comfortable non-slip grip to help prevent muscle sore-ness. More information on innovative tools for raking, hauling and bagging yard waste can be found at www.ezlawnandgarden.com

Get a head start on home improvement this fall with smart lawn and garden care. Grab the kids and get the clippers, rake ’em in and bag ’em up.

SPEAK UP DURING NATIONAL BULLYING PREVENTION MONTH

(StatePoint) With classes, sports, homework and other activities, weekdays are ac-tion packed for kids. Unfor-tunately, some students deal with an unwelcome addition to their daily routine – bully-ing. An estimated 13 million students are bullied annually, according to government statistics.

With online social media so widely available to kids today, bullying doesn’t nec-essarily stop after school, and often takes place round-the-clock. The repercussions can be missed days of school, depression and even suicide.

Fortunately, kids are get-ting more help these days as bullying prevention efforts are growing nationwide.

Car toon Network has been a pioneer in this space and its “Stop Bullying: Speak Up” campaign has been empowering bystand-ers to put a stop to bullying since it launched in 2010. On average, more than 100,000 people visit the initiative’s

website monthly to learn prevention strategies.

“Speaking up to a trusted adult is the safest, most ef-fective way for victims and bystanders to bring an end to a bullying situation,” says Alice Cahn, Cartoon Net-work vice president of social responsibility. “Bystanders in particular can be powerful agents for change when they report incidents.”

Support for Cartoon Net-work’s award-winning pro-social effort has come from such diverse organizations as Facebook, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, LG Mo-bile, and CNN. President Obama even invited Cartoon Network to the fi rst Bullying Prevention Summit at the White House, and later in-troduced the initiative’s fi rst documentary, “Speak Up.”

This year, Cartoon Net-work’s Speak Up Week (Sept. 29 - Oct. 3) kicks off National Bullying Prevention Month in October and is a great time to review ways that adults and kids can stand up to bullying:

Cyberbullying: Don’t contribute to the problem by sharing, saving, forwarding or reposting information. If you’re on the receiving end, resist the urge to get back at the person or fi x the issue

online – both can make the problem worse. Get offl ine and deal with it in real life. Parents can help prevent cyberbullying by monitor-ing kids’ use of computers, mobile phones and tablets.

Don’t stand by: Research has found that when bully-ing occurs and a bystander intervenes by speaking up, more than half of bullying situations stop within just 10 seconds.

Share your voice: Cartoon Network is recruiting one million students, parents, teachers, legislators and any-one concerned about bul-lying prevention to submit user-generated videos that feature individuals declaring the phrase, “I Speak Up!” You can use a smartphone or go online to upload your own video to the www.StopBul-lyingSpeakUp.com website.

Participants are also en-couraged to use the hashtag, #ISpeakUp to share videos via their own social media platforms to help spread the word and enlist friends to take part in the 1MM chal-lenge. Select videos will appear on-air as part of new campaign spots for Cartoon Network, its digital plat-forms and Boomerang.

Listen: Parents should check in with kids peri-

odically to make sure they’re safe and happy at school, on the playground and online. If you’re an adult and a child tells you about a bullying situation, listen. Either let the school know about the issue or talk to the other children’s parents about putting a stop to the behavior.

Whether you’re a victim, a bystander or a concerned adult, don’t sweep bullying under the rug. By speaking out against cruelty, you can help end bullying.

L-C TOWN COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR SEPT. 9

In at tendance at the Sept. 9 meet ing of the Leo-Cedarville town council were John Clendenen, presi-dent; Tim Richards, vice president; Paul Steffens, Ted Garton and Kevin Veatch, council members; Peggy Garton, town manager; and John Eastes, clerk-treasurer.

Granite Ridge Builders, Inc., represented by president Tony Reincke, vice president Lonnie Norris and Dave Brown of D. A. Brown En-gineering Consultants, Inc.,

came before council to share development issues, chal-lenges and concerns regard-ing the potential and desired development of a new subdi-vision within Leo-Cedarville that would be known as Lakes of Leo Creek.

Granite Ridge Builders noted that they have been unable to obtain a letter from the L-C Regional Sewer Dis-trict specifi cally stating that the L-C RSD lacks capacity within the current sanitary sewer system sufficient in scope and size to accom-modate development of the above-noted new subdivi-sion. Representatives spoke

of other sewage treatment options, including Orenko wastewater solutions, but indicated that they cannot move forward until they receive a letter from the sanitary sewer district that addresses the district’s lack of capacity within the current sanitary sewer system to ac-commodate the subdivision development project under construction. Various op-tions discussed with the L-C RSD involving gravity feed lines, force main lines and lift stations are currently cost prohibitive, thereby causing Granite Ridge Builders to consider Orenko wastewater

solutions. Christine Pulver and Lisa Willis, also in at-tendance, asked questions of Granite Ridge Builders pertaining to Orenko waste-water systems’ impact on the environment as well as the cost of maintenance to future homeowners.

Dave Jones, trustee for the L-C RSD, was pres-ent and interacted with the above-noted representatives and with council members specifi c to L-C RSD avail-able sanitary sewer capacity at this time, as well as the district’s ongoing discus-sions with Fort Wayne City Utilities that would allow the district to gain additional sanitary sewer capacity. Mr. Reincke stated that Granite Ridge Builders will not pay $1,000,000 to extend the sanitary sewer district’s cur-rent line 10,000 feet or more because it is cost prohibitive.

Mr. Proctor stated that public dollars cannot be spent on private development and Mr. Clendenen noted that creation of a TIF district for said area also is not possible.

Mr. Clendenen, Mr. Ve-atch and Mr. Garton joined in encouraging the L-C RSD to provide Granite Ridge Builders with the letter that they have requested.

Mr. Proctor, of Eilbacher Fletcher, LLP, provided in-formation and advice spe-cifi c to the following:

Ordinance 2014-2 – An ordinance repealing town Ordinance No. 2008-01 was introduced and discussed.

Mr. Veatch moved to waive reading the proposed ordinance in its entirety and Mr. Garton seconded the motion; which passed


L-C Town Minutes. . .(Continued from Page 6)

unanimously. If adopted, this ordinance will repeal Ordinance No. 2008-01 that mandates how the town cur-rently adopts an ordinance and replaces it with ordi-nance adoption procedures as prescribed within Indiana Code. The ordinance will be available for adoption on Sept. 23.

Ordinance 2014-3 – An ordinance replacing refer-ences to town administrator to town manager throughout town code was introduced and discussed.

Mr. Richards moved to waive reading the proposed ordinance in its entirety and Mr. Veatch seconded the motion; which passed unanimously. The ordinance will be available for adoption on Sept. 23.

Ordinance 2014-4 – An ordinance establishing an ordinance violations bu-reau and adopting a sched-ule of ordinance and code violations for the town of Leo-Cedarville was intro-duced and discussed.

Mr. Veatch moved to waive reading the proposed ordinance in its entirety and Mr. Garton seconded

the motion; which passed unanimously. The ordinance will be available for adoption on Sept. 23.

Property Ordinance Vio-lation Discussion – A va-cant property on Donald Ave., located within Apple Acres Subdivision, has been found in violation of town code. Notice was posted on the property and contractor hired to perform remedia-tion work that included lot cleanup, removal and haul-ing away trash, weeds cut and the boarding of broken windows, all in an attempt to improve public safety. The Allen County Build-ing Department has been contacted and is doing some form of enforcement on the property as well. Because of the extensive history of past code violation problems as-sociated with said property, Mr. Proctor recommended that a demand letter for the most recent $1,300 cost of remediation be sent and a fi ne assessed. Per town ordi-nance, a civil penalty in the form of a fi ne up to $2,500 may be assessed. Mr. Proctor outlined other legal action that may be taken in the fu-ture to improve the condition of the property.

Mr. Garton moved to au-thorize the town’s attorney to assess and collect a fi ne of $1,000 for code violation as well as the collection of the $1,300 recent cost of remediation specifi c to the above-noted property. Mr.

Richards seconded motion; which passed unanimously. Mr. Proctor will send a de-mand letter for the cost of remediation and assess the fi ne.

Mrs. Garton, town man-ager, presented the follow-ing, with action as noted therein:

The trail planning agenda item will be discussed in Oc-tober, as the town continues to review options for creating a trail that would extend to Cedarville Park.

Renewal of the current four-year agreement with the Allen County Sheriff’s Department, set to expire at midnight on Dec. 31, remains under review. As Leo-Cedarville and Grabill currently share the cost of the above-noted agreement, Mrs. Garton will send a let-ter to Grabill to determine whether they wish to con-tinue the current level of po-lice protection service or add additional hours of service to future contract, as recently discussed during a meeting with Grabill representatives.

Comprehensive Plan Im-plementation – Work con-tinues on gateway and way-fi nding signage preliminary design work that will be presented by Mr. Law and Mrs. Garton at a future, to-be-determined, date and time.

A meeting with INDOT personnel has occurred. The traffi c committee awaits the receipt of INDOT’s traffi c study report.

Employees have com-pleted the self-evaluation process and performance evaluations have been com-pleted for all hourly employ-ees. Mrs. Garton presented

an hourly employee wages increase recommendation for 2015 payroll. Council took no action on the recommen-dation at this time.

Fort Wayne is the site of this year’s IACT annual con-ference and exhibition that began today and is scheduled to run through Sept. 11. Mrs. Garton plans to attend the event on Sept. 10.

Work to install cross-walks on Grabill Road and Schwartz Road will be in-cluded in the bid or quote process at the same time concrete work is placed for bid or quote.

As concrete work may be forthcoming as part of storm water installation/repair work, other identifi ed areas that also require con-crete work will be included in the bid or quote process.

This year’s fall festival will be held from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20. Do-nations of candy and mon-etary support are still being received and appreciated. Additional adult service vol-unteers will be appreciated.

Unlimited garbage collec-tion will be held on Saturday, Sept. 13.

The traffi c study that was prepared as part of the ini-tial application process to develop Lakes of Leo Creek

is signifi cant, as it includes recommendations to improve traffi c fl ow in areas that have also been identifi ed in the town’s master plan. If pos-sible, Mr. Clendenen would like for council members to receive an electronic copy of said study.

Additional street lighting has been ordered that will be added to Amstutz and Hosler school corridors.

John Eastes, clerk-trea-surer dist r ibuted a mis-cellaneous appropriation transfer list - batched on Sept. 3; a monthly fi nancial statement;appropriations report for the month ended Aug. 31; local road and street 2015 budget forms 2 and 4b; and garbage-storm water funds update.

As of Sept. 8, $58,180.78 has been appropriately re-ceipted back into the garbage service fund from the storm water fund resulting in a gar-bage service fund balance of $66,297.31 and a storm water fund balance of $281,201.48.

The total amount of all vouchers approved by coun-cil was $18,602.94.

Council will meet in regu-lar session on Sept. 23 and Oct. 14.

CEDAR CREEK WOMAN’S CLUB NEWS

Patti Shuler (center), coordinator of Woodburn community food bank, receives a check from Cedar Creek Woman’s Club. Nancy Kucharski, treasurer, and Joan Buhr, president, presented the check at Woodburn United Methodist Church, the site of the food bank.

The annual foster grand-parents appreciation lun-cheon will be at Plymouth Congregational Church on Oct. 28 at 11:30. Each year the Cedar Creek Woman’s Club honors and thanks the generous and caring foster grandparents.

On Sept. 19, a check was

donated to the Woodburn community food bank to defray costs of purchasing needed food and supplies. Patti Shuler, coordinator, graciously accepted the donation at the Woodburn Methodist Church. The food bank is a project of the Woodburn Association of Churches. This is only one of the charities supported by the Cedar Creek Woman’s Club.

Councilman Gerig agrees with Kris.
