Sponsorships are being solicited by Mary Fieweger and her team( details at www. charbonneauarts. org). The more sponsorships we have, the more we can donate to the schools. Carpenter Media Group is providing advertising support for both festivals, totaling more than $ 4,000.

Gary’ s Grins
By GARY NEWBORE
As the weather warms and the golf course starts to get busy, it’ s time for another golf article.
� Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by an occasional miracle, followed by a good glass of beer.
� Pete, a notoriously bad golfer slices his ball off the first tee and watches as it goes through an open window. Figuring that’ s the end of it, he gets out another ball and plays on. On the eighth hole a police officer walks up to Pete and asks“ Did you hit a ball through a window back there?”“ Yes, I did,” replied Pete.“ Well,” said the officer,” It knocked over a lamp, scaring the dog, who ran out into the street, causing a driver to swerve, and run into a brick wall, sending three people to the hospital.”“ Oh, my goodness,” said Pete,“ Is there anything I can do?”“ Yes, there is,” replied the officer.“ Try keeping your head down and close up your stance a bit.”

Woman:“ Hi honey, are you at the club?” Man:“ Yes.” Woman:“ I’ m at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat for $ 2,000. OK if I buy it?” Man:“ Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.” Woman:“ I also stopped by the Lexus dealer and saw the new models; they are $ 90,000; OK to buy one?” Man:“ Go ahead.” The man hangs up and all the other men are staring at him in astonishment. He turns around and asks,“ Anyone know whose phone this is?”
