Powered by the sun

1/30/2015

 
    On a cloudy day, the solar array in Bill and Joyce Russell's back yard generates enough power to run their refrigerator.

Prognosticating winter's fate

1/28/2015

 
Picture
    Going by past observances the Groundhog Day celebration on Monday, February 2, will be seen by more people than those of the past two years.
    Most, however, won't be there in person.
    "We will probably have more TV coverage this year," said Rick Rankin, the Hibernating Governor of the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge. "If Groundhog Day comes on a weekend, we don't get as much coverage because some of the local stations don't have weekend news shows."
Regardless of the day of the week, lodge members will turn out.
    "That doesn't affect them," he said, "but if we have bad weather, some of the older members won't attend."
