Library plans a summer of fun, with reading program and more
The school days are done, the sun is out, and it is time for the Summer Reading Program here at the library! The library offers tons of great presentations, activities and challenges for any kid who wants to participate. This year’s Summer Reading Program theme is Read, Renew, Repeat! Maybe you have the same question that I had when I initially read this theme: What does that mean? If your mind went to the age-old saying “reduce, reuse, recycle,” you are not alone.

Cleaning … is never done
There is an adage that says, “A woman’s work is never done.” I would guess many people are familiar with it. Perhaps lesser known is the first part of the quote by Jean Little, which reads, “A man may work from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done.” We can surmise from this quote that life takes work, and often that work is ongoing and repetitive.

County’s centennial parade draws large crowd 75 years ago
20 YEARS AGO: NEWS FROMTHE ISSUE OFJUNE 10, 2004 Barring unforeseen hurdles, ground could be broken in August for a new Litchfield City Hall. City Administrator Bruce Miller offered updated architectural drawings and a brief timeline for action leading up to the groundbreaking during Monday’s City Council meeting. After the presentation, the council voted unanimously to advertise for bids on the project and set a July 6 public hearing at which a five-year capital improvement plan will be discussed. Initial estimates are that the building will cost about $1.5 million, with the total project cost rising to $1.85 million to $1.95 million when property acquisition costs are factored in. The project would be paid for through a 20-year capital improvement bond, Miller said, which with the historic interest rate lows currently in place could save the city money over the financing that could have been arranged through the city’s Economic Development Authority two years ago.
