Borders Closing The Doors

Borders Book Stores tried to sell off it's 399 nationwide store inventory but never had any serious takers.  Only two liquidation organizations showed any serious interest.  It now appears that the Borders store on route 58 will be closing the doors for a final time.  A sad loss for people who love books and who especially appreciate a pleasant, clean environment to browse to their heart's content.

Bond Issue Set for October 11

As advised in our previous issue the Riverhead School District will ask the public to vote on a proposed $78 million dollar renovation and repair bond issue on October 11.

Final Approach
The fallen Betty Ford was returning to Grand Rapids for the last time. Her remains were aboard a beautiful United States Presidential airplane painted blue and white. The airport was closed to all other traffic for 30 minutes. Airliners waited patientally on the ground and some in a hold over the GRR VOR. As Ms. Ford's plane, SAM 324, landed, they were cleared to taxi all the way to the end, in front of a thousand people. The tower frequency was absolutely silent.


One unknown airline pilot, in a low, respectful voice, said, "Rest in peace, Mrs. Ford."


After a short pause and in a slow, measured response, the Presidential plane's pilot identified himself:

"SAM 324."
