Page 9 Bits & Bites By Jacqueline Ramsay W e are into fall, for s u r e . C o l d nights, c o o l morn- ings and w o w days. The weeds have quit grow- ing, the lawn’s gone to seed and I feel like I am going to seed (curl up with a good book and an afghan with the “Right- teous Brothers”). Question: Is the new middle school going to have an Open House so we can all go see? When is the new Gloria’s Cafe open? The sign out front isn’t correct – I’ve not found it “open” yet. I notice the signs are going up for the Cycle Oregon event September 16 and 17 – 2000 bikes. That’s more than a few, isn’t it? Our teenagers are al- ready giving us practice stop- ping on a dime. One nearly got me this past week as it flew out of Hawkins Park. I didn’t realize that they aren’t required to stop and look before dashing into oncoming traffic. In case it’s slipped your mind the Salmon Festival is October 1. Then comes Hunting Sea- son and Christmas Bazaars – are you ready, yet? I understand the powers that be will be starting the side- walk/bike paths project soon from Texas to the green bridge. At some point through traffic will be shut off. Stoney Point Road will sure be busy. A five minute trip to town will be 15 minutes plus 1/2 gallon of gas. Oh, joy. In the end, the im- provement has been needed for years, right?
