I have gotten all of my appliances at Van Dyke's and agree with Jeff. Van Dykes rulz! When I have had a problem with one they are out there that day or have found parts to an old old old thermador oven that I have. Most people tell you to buy a new oven and put that in your vintage home. I have even given them keys to the house to go in and do the repair work. I would not do that for just anyone.

I prefer Hutchinss Appliance in Hillsboro.
I could give you the long story. But lets say that a better price and
service covers the whole story.

All the reasons were accurate. And, VanDyke contributes to the
community over an above their commercial activities. We have had
great results there. Another of our community assets that deserve
our investment because it pays good dividends.

I'm considering putting synthetic lawn in my backyard. Tired of dog
tracking in mud.
Anyone with any experience in this product?
Questions include: do weeds grow through it?
I have birch tree roots in the yard (the company says they lay the turf over
the roots). Is this ok for the tree? Should I have the trees removed (about 40
feet tall)?

Hi Holly,
I was at the School Board meeting last night. I came late and left early,
but I did not hear anything about Mario Alba resigning.
I only came for the TAG parents group statement in favor of honors classes
at NAMS. The TAG group postponed their statement presentation to the next
Board meeting. Naomi (Dilley Principal) did report on what the group has
been doing. Some parents were present and made similar comments like yours.
Honors contracts do not work at the middle school level. Bring honor classes
back for Language Arts and other subjects at NAMS. TAG kids are not served.
The TAG parent group will make an official statement next Board meeting.
Come if you can.
Lisette Romig

Well, at least the memo wasn't intended for public review. It was
only intended to authorize government action. Heaven forbid that the
public should know what they intended to do.
Even in broad terms, "preserve and defend the Constitution against
all enemies, foreign and domestic" means to protect the rights
delineated in the Constitution against violation by government
agents. Otherwise, the bad guys win. They have destroyed what makes
our government special.

Up near the top of Forest Gale Heights is a nice white house with a synthetic
lawn. It looks very nice.

Why are so many people mean to the bottle collectors around town? They
aren't hurting anyone, all they are doing is recycling; we should be
thanking them for helping to preserve our earth and picking up after those
inconsiderable litterers out there! And if they want to buy a Tall One with
their money, well I say More Power To'em!
