But Dr. Shane O'Brien will be adjusting to a new daily routine when he retires later this month. “Several ideas and possible endeavors have been circulating through my mind," he said. "I always enjoy learning and exploring, I'm not sure yet what my path will be. I love the outdoors, working with my hands and spending time helping family and friends. A 'for sure' will be furthering my prophetic Biblical knowledge and understanding, as well as numerous home projects that await me. I will not be idle.” There are three local contests on the Republican ballot in next month's primary election. Two of the races are for school board seats and one for township supervisor.
