Around Town – April 27

Orchids to …

• Unified track team members for the great track meet at East High School.

• Indiana State Police 1st Sgt. Matt Burkhardt and Columbus Police detective Chris Couch for staffing the drug take-back event Wednesday; four and a half bags of medications won’t end up on the streets or the water supply, from ASAP.

• Best Friends Animal Care — Dr. Chaille and all the staff for their kindness and compassion they gave Paula in the passing of her beloved Peanut.

• all law enforcement agencies for helping to run the scum out of town; keep up the good work.

• Gladys Rizline for the homemade doughnuts at the men’s fellowship at New Hope Christian Church.

Onions to …

• people who place political signs in their yard without consulting their spouse.

• to the individual who thinks that shooting off his guns every evening in the neighborhood has something to do with his Second Amendment rights.

• the 2017 tax bill because new reporting shows that only 13 percent of the benefits go to average Americans; the rest goes to the wealthy and to business.

• city department that first repaved large sections of 25th Street and then tore them up to repave them again — taxpayers’ money.

• the rude person who made me cry and then said I should be able to pay my bills since I wear acrylic nails.

• those misleading children who walked out of class, implying it’s good for their future.
