I would like to take this opportunity to "Thank" each and everyone who made my 70th Birthday a nice surprise. Really appreciate having friends that mean so much to me. Special "Thanks" to the Petersburg Senior Citizens, courthouse employ- ees and my family and friends. "Thanks" again Brigitte Chamness THANK YOU. An event of historic proportions happened in the Glezen community last week!! We were blessed with black-top roads. Resi- dents that have lived in this little town of "Hosmer" for years say that they cannot remember when any major road work was done in this area. Before the visit from our county highway department last week most of the streets were simple dirt, mud paths with grass growing in the center of them. In rainy seasons and winter they were almost impassable in places. I think we speak for all the people who live here when we say thank you to our commis- sioners, especially Ryan Coleman who is over our district – and by the way does not even live here!! Also, Roger Ham and his crew for all the work they have done. The roads are beautiful and so appreci- ated!! Good job and thank you!!
