GOOD NEWS. The all-forgiving and wise mayor has rescinded her threat to fine Shipoke residents if their curbside trash is not immediately removed. Perhaps she surveyed other neighborhoods where the same problem exists. Thompson may also have learned that there is a distinct lack of mobilized resources for the carting away this debris . . . NOT SO GOOD NEWS. My surgery this morning didn't go as well as this same procedure some weeks back. Nonetheless the new stent is in place and if all goes well we will not have to worry about it for another six months. But I had to rise at two a.m. to take a pill (Bob woke me, of course) and I couldn't fall back to sleep. We were in registration at seven for a nine o'clock surgery that didn't come off until eleven thirty but I did get a great box lunch out of it. Bob was going to fill the hours with his new book and didn't realize until it was too late that he had brought along the volume he had just finished. It was a long morning for him also. BUT I still want to thank Dr. Jay Goodman and his very wonderful and professional team: Donna, Ann, Brooke, Will and Jack . . . I was pleased that the Pat-News paid tribute to the Mennonites who have been working tirelessly to help home owners who had flood damage. I remember that during Agnes a lot of high-profile charities came to the city to help, but as soon as the cameras stopped rolling they picked up their chariots and left. But the Mennonite groups representing several factions of the sect stayed for months and never sought recognition for their deeds. There are several relief services active now, but if you would like to contribute something to the effort you might send your check to Mennonite Messianic Mission Relief, 40 Woodcorner Road, Ephrata, Pa 17522 . . . We have used these $8 pumpkin plates to enhance our fall decor for several years now, and it is time for them to go. Those that remain are on sale for $5 . . .
