The Cutting Edge

A power mower is not a pleasant machine whether you ride it, push it or walk behind it as it ambles along over your home turf. The sound of it is annoying, it’s work a chore that needs repeating almost weekly not to mention maintenance; in short, not a very pleasant device at all. Still, I do seek the good among the bad and I have fortunately been able to determine two worthwhile qualities in support of it. They aren’t much but it’s all I have.


First, there is the walk. I do not have a riding mower though friends of mine do and their yards are a postage stamp by comparison; to each his own. My mower is self-propelled which means all I do is walk behind it. One day I got out my GPS and carried it with me as I went. I created a pattern that allowed for one continuous run with as few stops as possible. When I finished I found I had walked one point eight miles within the boundaries of my yard. Not too shabby.

Reaction To Wayne Co. Plane Crashes

People living in Wayne County reacted with shock after the third small plane crash in that county in just over a week.

A small plane went down Sunday just after take-off outside of Waymart. Two men were on board, one was hurt.

“I actually know the guy. He actually took my son on a young eagles day and flew with him, so and he was a seasoned pilot, so,” said Skip Martin of Honesdale.

Earlier this month, a small plane crashed near Cherry Ridge Airport in Honesdale, killing one person.

Then last week, two people were killed and a third injured when another plane crashed near Sterling.

“Kind of a scary thing. I don’t, can’t fathom it. It’s amazing, like scary,” said Eric Mehrtens of Honesdale.

“Why are they just crashing?” asked Anne Marie Schiro of Honesdale.

Immunization Deadline is Here

The deadline is here for school students to have their proper vaccinations, otherwise the state wants districts to send the students home.

Two weeks ago, the state gave an extension until this week because thousands of students statewide were lacking the proper shots.

Now, some school districts say they are not going to follow the state’s deadline, they are not keeping kids from class.

Students and their parents at Western Wayne School District in Wayne County have been warned for months. Children must get the proper vaccinations or risk being turned away from school.

Now, the state-imposed deadline is here. The Pennsylvania Department of Health says if there are students in class without the proper shots, they should be sent home.

That is not happening at Western Wayne.
