A piece of my American flag hangs high in my Hawthorne tree. Over
time it has pretty well shredded the ends of the flag from the nearby
pole, but the emblem of our freedom still flies in the face of the wind
as the “Star-Spangled Banner” words and tune come to mind.
I have tried to lower the tall flagpole that was my husband’s pride
in ordering, installing under the night-light and enjoying the
continuous flying of our colors, but I have been unable to bring it
down in order to remove the flag.

Sometimes I’m lucky to not have a full-time, live-in life partner/adviser/therapist.
About now she’d be after me to get a silicone brain implant.
Yes, the 50s are a challenging time of life. Just to get through the lumpy butt years, you need industrial strength Preparation H, FDA-approved pharmaceuticals and other preservatives.

La Grande School District Superintendent Larry Glaze recently reported that La Grande High School students are doing exceptionally well at obtaining scholarships and gaining acceptance to colleges and universities. He attributed much of the success to the efforts of the LHS Career Center, the ASPIRE program and the counseling office. The community should be proud that its graduating seniors are doing so well.

Content stays same but typography changes
Readers may have noticed that today’s Observer has a different look.
We’re in the process of redesigning The Observer and today we’ve
implemented the changes in the A section. We’ll bring Sports and the B
section into the fold later this week.
The content won’t change at all during this process. All of the
elements that we had before will continue to be included in the paper,
as well as their placement.
What has changed is our typography. For the first time in decades
we’ve changed the typeface for our news stories. And we’ve changed the
typefaces for our headlines and what we call standing heads.

Televisions and computers, when used right, are wonderful educational
tools. Who doesn’t enjoy a good Discovery Channel program or doing
computer research on World Series history, the 39 ways to make beef
stew or snow records for October?
But when school is out of session on Fridays, and students are looking
for activities to fill their time, TVs and computers can’t totally
replace what can be learned in a classroom, or on a field trip, from a
dynamic and caring teacher.
