- After 63 days of voting, the original Star Wars trilogy was named the greatest movie trilogy/series of all time.
Well, that’s at least according to my Facebook friends.

- Turning the calendar over today to July 1 officially brings the end of yet another extremely busy June in and around Baldwin City. It also hit me that I haven’t done a bits-and-pieces column in a long time and I certainly have them. So here it is.

- As June 14 approached, e-mails reminded me (not that I needed it) that it was three years ago on Flag Day that we laid my father’s ashes to rest at Ft. Custer National Cemetery, Augusta, Michigan. A sad remembrance, but I don’t bring it up to throw a wet blanket on the week or on the upcoming Sunday, which happens to be Father’s Day, Rather, I wish to share, now that grief has distilled into insight, some of what the connection of Flag Day and this loss, followed closely by Father’s Day, has come to mean to me.

- To the editor:
When asked to vote “yes” so a new school could be built in town, we had no idea it would be used as a way to move our children out of the school we love.

- That collective sigh of relief heard this week in the area was from Big 12 fans who could finally breathe after a week plus of listening to what looked like the blow-by-blow destruction of their beloved conference.

- There’s a certain electricity in the air in Baldwin City and it isn’t just the 6 percent electrical rate increase passed by the Baldwin City Council this week or the ongoing debate for the Baldwin School Board on whether to close rural elementary schools or not.

- We’ve watched with interest recently as both Baldwin School Board and Baldwin City Council members have wrestled with making big decisions. In each case, we’re glad we’re not in their shoes.

- Despite the unpleasant need to cut the Baldwin School District’s budget because of decreased state funding, we’ve been pleased with how the tough chore has been handled by the school board and how the community has responded.

- I think it’s safe to say spring is here. I think it is, anyway. I’ve looked at a lot of forecasts and don’t see much chance for snow. But what do the weather liars, er, weather forecasters know?

- We don’t envy the decisions that the Baldwin School Board is about to have to make, but we will give them high marks for the homework done ahead of having to potentially cut another $500,000 from the district budget.

- I’ve been having an adventuresome April. Some adventures have been good, while others have not.
The unpleasant adventure started April 2 when we had a storm-related power outage at work. After the 20 or so minutes in the dark, power returned. It’s not like this hasn’t happened before.

- We were thrilled when we heard the news about the national championship our Baldwin High School Real World Design Team won in Washington, D.C., Saturday. Truly, that’s as big of an accomplishment that has ever come from the halls of BHS.

- So, you thought the Winter Olympics were over weeks ago, didn’t you? Nope, there was another round of games yet to play when Mother Nature dumped another round of snow and ice on us. Nice.
