Local veterans take part in Honor Flight
In a whirlwind one-day trip, two Montague County World War II veterans were part of Honor Flight, a program that takes veterans to Washington D.C. to see the monuments to their service.
For Walter Haynie and Lamoin Champ, it was two old friends sharing a unique, once in a lifetime experience. Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices.
Our nations’ heros are transported to the capitol to visit and reflect at their memorials, but top priority is given to the senior veterans, those World War II survivors, along with those veterans who may be terminally ill.
Read the full story of these special veterans in your weekend News.

There is a new flower showing up at garden centers that is pure magic, in fact its official name is Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit. If you aren’t familiar with the name, it is a calibrachoa, a petunia relative. Double gives reference to flowers that in this case look like miniature roses.
Magic is your key descriptor telling you that the flower changes colors. The flowers start off a pleasant lemon yellow and then age to a rose pink.
Of course, to get to rose pink you have various shades along the way. Another magical aspect to me, the guru of captivating combinations is that it seems no matter the color you choose it will go with Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit calibrachoa.
