Around the Lake...

Overheard near the WalMart checkout stand:
" Please sign this petition."
"What's it for?"
"To get rid of the Grove City Manager."
"I'm not going to sign that."
"You'll be sorry."
Now we ask, is this any kind of way to present a petition to call a grand jury? The petition does not mention firing the city manager. Is this legal? And we will bet that Walmart is not too happy about its premises being used for such purposes...The Grove Boat Show is this weekend for all those who didn't get their fix at the Tulsa Boat Show. Remember to bring your check book...local businessman Rick Howard has been hard at work getting a petition signed to rename Highway 59 from Sailboat Bridge to Leisure Lane, as "Freedom Blvd." We are all for renaming the highway, but we would prefer a lake-oriented name as that is what makes Grove what it is. Our choice is Sailboat Blvd. but the city could organize a contest for the citizens to submit their favorite name and get more input, before Freedom Blvd is crammed down our throats. The issue will come up again in 60 days at a council meeting...
