A 5 YEAR OLDS CHRISTMAS WISH. You can make it come true

Topix - Thu Nov 12

As Christmas approaches, we start to feel that special feeling that we get. We call it the Christmas spirit. I would love to see that spirit hang around for awhile after the season has passed. There are many times during the year, when we have the opportunity to reach out to some one in that spirit, or attitude. I want to share a story with you. This is a true story. It is the story of a young boy named NOAH BIORKMAN. This little boy is just 5 years old, he lives in Michigan and he is a joy to his parents and every one that knows him. His spirit touches everyone around him. Noah is also losing his battle with cancer. The doctors do not expect him to make it until Christmas. Because of this, his parents have decided to celebrate Christmas early this year. They asked Noah, What would you like to have this year for Christmas? Noahs reply was straight from the heart and touched everyone including mine, and he touched it so deeply. He said, I do not want any toys, because I know that I will not have the time to enjoy them! All I want is lots of Christmas cards. Please, people let the compassion of Christ lead you here, lets show Noah, the spirit or Christmas!! We are praying for him and his family, but lets meet his request with all the love and compassion that we have in our hearts. This is his address; lets fill 5 year old Noahs room!! NOAH BIORKMAN 1141 FOUNTAIN VIEW CIRCLE SOUTH LYON, MI. 48178 All of us can make this come true for Noah, let your love and compassion guide you. I know the people of Wayne County can touch this boys life.

Family Dining in Piedmont Missouri

Topix - Tue Nov 10

In Piedmont, Missouri, a small Southeastern Town, you will find many things to do and see. In the summer months, there is Fishing, Camping, Hiking trails, Horseback riding, Float trips and much more. In the fall, there are festivals, music and of course, some of the very best hunting in the state. There are also the beautiful fall colors displayed in such a wonderful way as to attribute them to the water coloring of Gods own hand. Clearwater Lake is a big attraction, and has been for many years. It draws hundreds of families for fishing, boating and camping. Piedmont has the Fall Festival every year that has consistently grown each year. With the number of families that visit Piedmont, there has been a growth in Restaurants to accommodate these families also. We have seen new restaurants come to life in the last couple of years. As a retired chef and someone that has spent more time in the restaurant than out, I have always liked to visit them. I have cooked for people most of my life, a trait; I inherited from my grandmother, and still enjoy it to day. My customers today are my family and grandkids. In addition, the occasional dinner party. I do get calls now and then to cater a function of one kind or another. There is a joy in cooking for some one and sharing as they express through their mouthful of Yums, that you have Done it again. Having spent time in the restaurants in Piedmont and the area that surrounds us, I thought it would be nice to mention them and give them a pat on the back, if you will.

Cyber Bullying Bill at Work

Topix - Mon Oct 26

In Lincoln County Missouri, a student in the ninth grade has been arrested. She is a student at Troy Buchanan High School. It is not known if she wil face criminal charges, but the arrest will include the harassment charges. She was arrested on October 8 but would not comment because of age and the privacy act. It has been learned that the girl posted a site that used insulting and degrading remarks about the other girl. The site also contained a photo; comments and a poll about the other girl. It has now been removed from the web.It is possible there will be more of these types of arrests in the future. It seems to me that this type of "bullying" has gotten out of hand. The biggest percentage of this type of harassment and bullying is contained to the "teens" but there are cases involving adults using the web in this manner also.
