I just got done reading the Messenger. Guess what? We will have a tobacco shop for tobacco products and some cannabis items! And — our grocery store is closing!
I don’t deny these pleasures to the people that enjoy them. It’s their decision and their health.

Dear Editor:
I’d like to start off saying I have been very disappointed with the grocery store Molter’s.
After reading the article with information Molter’s provided to the Messenger, I’d like to say a few words. They said they had a certain numbers to achieve but the support just wasn’t there....

A jumping worm.
When I first heard about jumping worms a couple of years ago I was freaked out. I thought I would never buy another plant again — I did not want them in my yard. I thought the worms were fatal to all the hard work I had put in my yard. They are not.
I have learned a lot about the jumping worms...
