To-do-list will never be finished, and that's OK

I wasn't sure whether to call again, because I'd already left a message. But I needed to talk to this person, and so instead of waiting for her to return my call, I called her. "You were on my 'to-do' list," she said, as soon as she recognized my voice. Wonderful. I was on her "to-do" list. I was someone's chore. Read the rest of this story in Today's Reflector...

Men can stay healthy at any age

Men, it's never too early or late to start caring about your health. What can you do to stay healthy and prevent disease? Getting regular check ups, preventive screening tests, and immunizations are among the most important things you can do for your health. Screening tests, such as colorectal cancer tests, can find diseases early when they are easier to treat. Some men need certain screening tests earlier, or more often, than others. Talk to your doctor about which tests are right for you, when you should have them, and how often.

Robbers get 10 years in slammer

Convicted armed robber Ryan L. Sternberg told the victims of four convenience store robberies that he was sorry for "the pain and agony I inflicted on you and your family." Sternberg, 21, formerly of 13303 Milliman Road, said the memories of the fall incidents are unimaginable and have tormented him. He said the facial expressions on the clerk's face when he entered the C-Stop Food Store in Collins with a pellet gun are "scarred" on his mind.

CLARIFICATION

In Tuesday's issue, an article about an Environmental Protection Agency mandate for Norwalk stated residents would "likely" be facing a tax increase or fee increase. However, the city does not yet know how much money it will take to be in compliance with the mandate, and Safety Service Director Dale Sheppard said it might not cost the city anything. Even if it did, Sheppard added, the city has not yet decided how it would pay for those costs.

City needs to do more for homeless

I read in the papers and heard on TV that other towns have done things for the homeless. They sure are in need of a warm place to stay and some warm food. What has our town done for them? They need a shelter where they can go for warmth and food. We should all stop and think about them as we sit in our nice warm homes. I think its time our town steps forward and does something about it. We need to be more caring and show our love for them. I can't do a lot, but I would be willing to help with what I can do. Read John 15:12.

Celebrate Christie Lane's artists

Since March of last year, Hidden Creek Pottery has been host to a collection of art and pottery from Christie Lane's Artists' Open Studio. We have watched as these artists become aware of how their talents are touching others. I enjoy the stories behind how the pieces were formed using unusual techniques and innovative designs unique to the artist creating them. We are happy to be part of a great idea that enables the people of AOS to share their talents and abilities with our community. These artistic gifts might have been lost or gone unnoticed if not for the sensitivity and spirit of teachers like Lynda Stoneham and Bill Young. Their ideas and determination inspire and encourage, not only the students of AOS but many others by showing us what is possible, what is within our reach, how far that reach extends and what we can touch if we reach farther.
