A BIG Sunfield Area SPY and Community wide salute goes out to Shari Woodman and her son Andy for the wonderful fall themed decorating job they did at the “Sunfield Welcomes You” sign East of town. It is truly fantastic! Very nice job you two!

Notice #2
There is a business magazine that comes out of Lansing that is published monthly. It is called “517”. In the October issue they did a major story titled “Road Warriors” that is about cruise-ins and such. Featured in this story is none other than local legend Paul Campbell and his classic 1961 Chevy Apache 10 truck---picture and all. Congratulations on the notoriety Paul!

Notice #3
On Tuesday, October 17, 2023, the Wagon Wheel American Grill in Portland will be donating 20% of all sales on that day to the Friends of the Sunfield Library. Here’s the catch---to take advantage of this deal a hungry patron must present the attached special coupon to their server.
A coupon is good ALL DAY and applies to both dine-in or take-out. What a unique way to help the Library!
Parting Comments
· Deep Thought of the Week: Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured…but not everyone must prove they are a citizen. Now add this---Many of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.

• That’s Puny Department: Where do bad rainbows go? Did you know they go to prism? But they get a light sentence and it gives them time to reflect.
• Did You Know Section: A tenth-century Chinese cook accidentally mixed saltpeter (a preservative), sulfur (a heat intensifier), and charcoal (fuel). The resulting explosion was the birth of fireworks and started an industry. Loaded into bamboo, the explosives would shoot up. These “flying arrows of fire” soon became an integral part of New Year’s, weddings, and other celebrations
