Things to do in - and around - Culver

May 11, 2012

By Jeff Kenney, Culver Citizen editor and Pilot News Group staff writer

As alluded to in a previous column, Culver is headed full-bore into its “summer-ish” schedule, even if that time period really kicks off in late April, and that of course means warm weather. It goes without saying that Culver is a sort of outdoor paradise (or I hope it does), and while we could do a lot better about it, our family has always tried to take advantage of that — heck, it’s a big part of why we choose to live here!

Down the Indian Trails

May 3, 2012

By Jeff Kenney, Editor of the Culver Citizen

I remember an episode of the TV series “The Wonder Years” in which the youthful main characters learned that a small but beloved patch of woodland in their area would be bulldozed in favor of a parking lot. Rather than chaining themselves to the trees as they had contemplated, they spontaneously found themselves playing tag one last time, after dark, in the woods, the episode ending with the usual nostalgia-inducing, wistful music and commentary.

No more excuses

Second verse, same as the first...
This week, much like last week, flashed by and before I knew it, it was time to sit down and write about my goals I accomplished for a healthier me this week.
Well, I hit none of them to be honest. How embarrassing is it to admit that? My weight has maintained, because while I haven’t made many changes, that includes both for better or worse. So I guess I could say it’s been a successful week a way that I haven’t gained.

Again with the spring/winter weather?

Again this week, we saw temperatures topping the high 40s, and down to the teens. What's your take on the current weather conditions?
