TRIGGER WARNING, ATTACK! I was hoping I could find a guy named TJ here. I’m not sure about last names or anything but he helped my fiancé and I out when we got attacked last night in the Walmart parking lot on Bayfield st last night around 9pm. I wanted to hopefully reach out to him and thank him for staying with us until the police got there and to give the police officer a statement. My fiancé and I were attacked by a man in a truck with who I assume was his girlfriend. The man tried hitting us twice with his truck, after the second time, my fiancé started to yell at the man in the truck to stop. The man in the truck jumped out of it, and attacked my fiancé and started to choke him. Me being me, I tried getting involved to get the man to stop choking my fiancé. The man’s girlfriend came out of the truck and started yelling at her boyfriend to stop. The man then turned towards me, punched me straight in the face while still choking my fiancé. Then he figured out I was the e…

My granddaughter is sick she has that fever that's going around on day 3. Thought I would cheer her up with a video from Santa at the Georgian Mall. I tried and asked if he could say hi than Sadly Santa said he can't he's not allowed to. Here's my opinion, no pictures because they gotta make money I get but not allowed to say hi is sad. I must say it's a great set up and Santa looks like the real deal but be ready they will ask you to put your phone away. Source

Just saw this fox on Harding near Ferris lane. Not normal for them to be wandering in town. This one has been around for the last day in the same small area. Source

It is quite amazing at how much the Local Community has reached out. We received these 8, Brand new inflatables from someone who wishes too remain anonymous. We also had a few of our neighbour's reach out and offer their support and donations as well. We are very grateful for all of the support. These new beauties will be going up Saturday morning. We are, as stated, forever grateful to our Community and Thankful to everyone. Source

I wanted to share what happened to us early Monday morning. Myself and my kids were jerked awake by the sound of the carbon monoxide detectors in the early hours. I quickly got the kids and our pets outside as I called 911. When emergency services arrived they found my house was filled with carbon monoxide. We all got out safely and now my furnace is being replaced. I have inline carbon monoxide/smoke detectors on each floor and 2 battery operated detectors. 4 out of the 5 detectors worked. We are alive to tell this story. I get my furnace cleaned yearly and I change my filters every quarter. I hadn’t had my fall cleaning yet because of the nice weather. They would have detected that there was an imminent failure issue. As it turns out we had been experiencing the effects of carbon monoxide exposure for weeks but didn’t equate them to CO exposure. Headaches, dizziness, tired, upset tummies, mental fog etc. I’m sharing our story to tell you to check your batteries, check t…

I know a lot of people are asking about children's Tylenol. Oak Valley Health made a chart on how much to administer from an adult tablet. I hope this helps you all. Source
