A pain in the grass

Pain in the grass

The city council lost the main focus of why the golf course should take out grass, it’s called the continued loss of Colorado River water that fills our lake. They made a decision to continue to use more than a golf course is allowed so a small amount of people will have a view from their home of greenery.

Artificial turf is also green and it’s great to look at. We’ve had it for 17 years. They are now going to charge a higher fee to golfers to cover the price of the penalty of using too much water and pretend that it is not taking money out of BC residents’ pockets.

Why not use the higher fees to put in artificial grass and comply with SNWA guidelines? At some point the artificial grass would be paid for and the extra fees would go back to the city for other uses. Water is a gift of life. Nothing can live without it. At this point, every drop we have should be valued.

It’s all about first impressions

When I was younger, my parents instilled in me the importance of making a good first impression. Look people in the eye. Make sure you give a firm handshake. Focus on what they are saying and don’t be distracted.

What is long-term care?

Long-term care refers to a range of services and support for people who need help with everyday activities over an extended period due to aging, chronic illness, disability, injury, or cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Veterans, seniors: Scarcity of low-cost housing

Housing of all types for all sorts of individuals seems to be a buzz-word these days. But seniors and veterans especially seem to be lacking when it comes to locating reasonably affordable residences in reasonably decent neighborhoods around the state. What’s a body to do?

Now, that’s a really good idea !

We generally expect our leaders to be educated, smart, and well-informed. More often than not, we support, elect, and follow those who appear to have an answer for everything. But good leaders don’t know everything. And the very best ones know that they don’t know everything.
