Embracing the uncomfortable

Mio-AuSable Schools invited students from Fairview Areas Schools to attend an assembly April 28. MAS Principle April Margaritis addressed the students.

“We have been fortunate that we have a guest speaker here today to talk to us about something very important – mental health,” she said. “I know for some people it makes them uncomfortable but it’s a discussion we need to have.”

The price of dreams

You’ve seen or heard interviews with popular musicians, artists and writers who describe the difficult climb to success. They recount the sacrifices and dedication needed to make their dream a reality. Many also, rightfully, give credit to the fleeting mistress, Lady Luck.

Roses by other names

The rose family, globally, is huge. About fourteen Michigan trees fall into this family, along with many shrubs and herbs. Roses are a minor component of the forest landscape. They all have conspicuous blooms and similar fruits, but not as showy as our familiar garden rose.

Put that saw down

If you have an oak tree, put your saw and pruners down. Due to the possibility of beetles spreading oak wilt fungus from tree to tree, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources advises homeowners and landowners not to trim or prune any oak trees from April 15-July 15. The best time to prune oak trees is during the winter, when the trees are dormant.

Rain falling

“I wanna wake up with the rain falling on a tin roof.” – Nora Jones

I usually find the sound of rain falling on our metal roof soothing, but after days and nights of heavy rain, followed by rising rivers and ongoing flood warnings, I was getting a bit tense.

Hooray for May!

The ice storm this March was surely a little milder than the one we went through last year. However, the rain and flooding in April which some are still cleaning up from was just as horrible to deal with as the ice storm last year. For the last couple of years, it sure seems that Mother Nature is in a bad mood and sharing it with all of us. Hopefully she cheers up soon and brings a beautiful blooming spring and a spectacular sunny summer.

Eagles’ track & field review

Fairview’s track and field team were busy last week.

“We were at Oscoda on Tuesday, home on Thursday, and then we raced at Posen Friday,” Coach Haskin said. “We just competed at the co-ed relays up in Posen on Friday. It’s two boys and two girls in every single event,” Haskin said. “It’s kind of a fun meet.”
