WHEELING On a day as fine as April can muster, buttercups are whooping it up on the rich silt left behind by winter flooding on Wheeling Island. A pileated woodpecker is chuckling somewhere in the trees, his pterodactyl-style head somehow hidden from view despite his grand size.
It’s the kind of day and place Frank Borsuk has seen hundreds of times. Maybe millions of times if that is possible in a mere 55 years. But, it hasn’t grown old.
