Day late and half-million short

The Mount Emily Recreation Area Non-Motorized Advisory Committee and the county commission are in the process of deciding whether to consider a request from a group of citizens who would like to ensure there’s a community forest in one unit of the MERA. The proposal would require raising enough money to purchase the timber on the unit from Forest Capital Partners, which is in the process of logging portions of the recreation area as part of the agreement that put the entire 3,700-acre area into the county’s hands a year ago.

Fall leaves on icy trip

Fall is trippy.

It’s a season that is run, apparently, by an earth mother similar to the character played by Sandra Bullock in the movie “The Blind Side” — in other words, strong, tough and nimble of mind and spirit.

Try to get ahead of the leaves. Just try.

The importance of Ladd Marsh

Editor’s note: Leslie Graham’s fourth-grade class at Central School visits Ladd Marsh several times a year to learn about wetlands. Students were shocked when they read about recent vandalism at Ladd Marsh, Graham said. They decided to write letters to the editor to let everyone know their view about the vandalism. Four of the letters appear below.
 

Shop locally this season

Monday was unofficially labeled “Cyber Monday’’ as a way for online business to reap a bigger share of rewards from the Christmas shopping dollar. It’s an online version of “Black Friday,’’ which has become an institution for on-site sales and the official kickoff of the Christmas shopping season. Here’s hoping that local folks didn’t blow their Christmas spending allowance at out-of-area retailers Monday. Local businesses need and depend on those dollars.
