Toledo is awash in potato chips. Toledo Senior Center has a pallet of them, the school district, they’re all over. Crunch, crunch, crunch…

Cool nights hint at Fall in the air, but a modified burn ban is still in effect for Lewis County. From Lewis County burn permit page:

Burn Restrictions are in Effect 
Update: As of 5:00 PM, Friday, September 2nd, the Lewis County Board of County Commissioners and the Lewis County Fire Marshal will modify the current burn restrictions to allow recreational campfires if built in an approved manner. As of August 2nd at 12:01 am, The Lewis County Board of County Commissioners and the Lewis County Fire Marshal enacted outdoor burn restrictions. As of August 19th at 12:01 am, those burn restrictions were expanded to include ALL outdoor burning in unincorporated Lewis County, including recreational fires. This is a TOTAL burn ban. For further information concerning outdoor burning, please contact Lewis County Community Development at (360) 740-1146.

Last night Toledo School District Board of Directors unanimously passed the two resolutions (2016-17-01 and 2016 17-02) required to place a bond measure on the ballot in February, the documents signed and on their way this morning to the Lewis County Auditor’s office by courier. This action will allow the much-discussed bond measure to be placed on the ballot in February 2017 and legitimize the Citizens for Better Schools campaign kicking off 6 p.m September 21 at Toledo Fire Department’s Main Station.

Charlie Holmes and Jessica Randle introduced themselves as Two Hands on the Wheel spokespersons. While the mock car crash, jury and funeral won’t be staged this year - too repetitive, stale if repeated every year, said Homes - the ESD has asked that the program be carried “to as many schools as possible.”
