Hi! How are you doing with your schoolwork? Remember, little by little, important tasks are accomplished, and You Can Do It!
I hope you enjoyed the numbers grid from last month’s article. I am amazed at numbers how they follow a pattern, they are never ending, and they are significant in everything we think, say or do; to find our way on the highway, follow a recipe, play a game, set the alarm, make and keep appointments on the calendar, and so much more.
This month I would like to speak to you about making and using a timeline. You can be an excellent student, but still get confused as to exactly when important people lived or important events happened. A timeline will set you straight. I have checked out a few people and events and made a small timeline to get you ready for fun and wisdom. You could be a third-, fourth-, fifth-grader, or younger or older to enjoy a timeline. So check it out and add to it or use it to explore information about the entries

ALPENA Child pornography charges against a Hubbard Lake man should have been dropped because there was no direct link between him and the images on the computer on which the images were found, his attorney said in Alpena’s 26th Circuit Court on Monday.
Judge Ed Black gave Alpena County Prosecutor Cynthia Muszynski two weeks to respond to a motion by defense attorney Alan Curtis alleging that Scott Henning, 29, should never have been sent to circuit court on child porn charges.
