Here it is, the last day of spring cleanup and Laddie is nowhere to be
found. The community GMU is to be commended for the wonderful job the
did on this years cleanup.

Some stretch pants have no other choice.

Eric sent the following comments regarding "spring cleanup". >>> Gary,
Doesn't Spring clean-up time make you feel good? Why?.... I started
with a pile including 2 old fishing rods, many computer monitors and
parts, 2 bikes, 1 stroller, some drapes, 1 canister vac and some tree
trimmings. Looking out this morning I'm down to the trimmings, the
stroller and oddly the hose for the canister vac which I'm sure they'll
be back for. It makes a person feel good to know that even his junk has
some sort of value HA!
-Eric Burley <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Eric.
Besides,... I didn't need the vacuum hose. HA HA!!
++++++++++++++
Once you get a mouthful of boiling hot coffee, whatever you do next is
going to be wrong.

I regret to say that the following message will be going out in next
weeks Walsh County Record.
Heritage Sales & Leasing, Inc. of Grafton will be dropping the Ford,
Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep franchises in the near future. After 32 years i
the new vehicle business, we will become an independent used vehicle
dealer offering all makes and models. We will also continue a full
service repair shop.
With the slow economy in the past tear and expenses for new vehicle
franchises going up with margins continuing to decrease, we felt we had
to make this business decision. We want to thank all of our loyal
customers that have been with us these past 32 years. We will still be
able to service most makes and models of automobiles and have quality
used cars, trucks, suvs and mini vans available for sale. We will still
give the same great service we have in the past.
Harry and Mitch Iverson

I found it difficult to type the previous message. I would like to
thank the Iverson's for their numerous significant contributions to
"our" community, and the entire area. I am thankful they have decided to
continue doing business, all-be-it, in a slightly different capacity in
their present location, in "our" community.

I find it somewhat ironic, in light of the announcement of the
termination of "our" local Ford and Chrysler dealership, not to long
after the lose of "our" Hallmark store, coupled with the premise, "use
it, or lose it". That the following "message" was distributed by "our"
local Chamber of Commerce office.
===== RELATIONSHIPS =====
It's the personal human relationships that matter most; i business and
in life. We will never achieve success alone. A network of genuine
intimate connections with people is the most valuable asset in your
career and in your life. Often the most important people in our network
are acquaintances.
How does one build up, maintain and nurture client relationships?
Listen. Listen to what your client is saying. Understand. Understand
what your client truly needs and then deliver. Choose the products and
services your company can provide that will benefit your client most.
Personal relationships are the key to opening doors. We succeed in
life by contributing to the success of others. Ask yourself, what can I
do for the benefit of others? And, then just DO IT!

It's not to late for the people that call "our" area home, to take
heed, not just the people that reside here, but the people that do
business here. Not only the people that do business here, and this my
even be the most important, the people that represent the people that do
business here.
There is a dire need for the business leaders of "our" community,
along with the community leaders of "our" community combined with the
citizens of "our" community to "work together" for the long term
viability and prosperity of the place on this earth we call home. Or so
it seems to me.

life."
==================================
GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH
==================================
The Gazette works best, when the folks that read it, write it. Or so it
seems to me.


Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
