By Arnold Krusemark It is now November. Daylight Savings ends this week-end. The weather is getting colder and we have had our first snowfall. The seasons do not (normally) change in a day, but we usually get only a few snow flurries a time or two before we get inches on the ground. Time will tell how things go this year. As for our garden produce, the above ground things are essentially done for the year. This leaves the root crops left to be dug and brought in. And the rest of the house outside and yard work to get done before it really gets cold. And winter sets in. If you planted trees and shrubs be sure they get watered so the roots get established before freezeup. And then there’s the house winterizing too. One is to clean out the garage so the car goes in, make sure the snow shovels are available, and the snow things for the car too.

The Murray County Central Rebels’ volleyball season ended in Okabena, but it wasn’t quite the cake walk it was in regular season. MCC started out with adrenaline running a little high, sailing the first two serves deep out of bounds, allowing the host to jump out to a nine point lead in a set that Rebel fans hoped wouldn’t set the tone for the night.

On Tuesday, the Murray County Central Theatre Department was down to singledigit practices remaining before its presentation of the fall musical “Grease.” And while it wasn’t a dress rehearsal day, the students and crew still took it seriously and made the practice time count as they whole-heartedly look forward to entertaining the audience with their high-energy performance of the popular coming-of-age play set in the late 1950s.
