After listening to last Tuesday’s presidential debate about the lack of jobs and training, it was delightful to read such a positive article in the Oct. 17 News-Democrat — Students volunteer to make improvements at the park.

Hats off to Fran Dundon for coming up with the project and to all the instructors and students who gave of their time and talents to make improvements to our beautiful parks.

What a great way to prepare students for future jobs and help our financially strapped parks system in the process.

On Sept. 16, a lawn-mower fire destroyed most of the interior of our attached garage and its contents. My wife made the discovery of the fire and, immediately, called 911 for assistance. Had it not been for the selfless, quick action of all those rendering aid, as well as the person on the other end of the 911 call, our home also would have been destroyed along with its contents. Personal injury and/or loss of life was more importantly avoided as well.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the riders in this year’s Poker Run. I have the privilege of coordinating the Community Christmas Program for the Carroll County Ministerial Association.

Each year we raise money to help provide Christmas to local children in need.
