From Theresa Tibbetts

Glenwood

I do not know how it started but Theresa’s Turn Bakery is OPEN for the same hours it has been for the past 1-2 years. We’re open from 6:30 a.m.-noon Tuesday through Saturday.

Not all of you know that my husband has dementia. Year 6. That is why I am not present as much as I was. That is why I would sell if someone wished to continue to serve the community in a much-needed capacity.

I am fortunate to have my staff: Troy Kittelson, Kimberly Bott and Mary Fiskness. Without them I could not continue to operate. For that and them I am very thankful.

With the added pressure and responsibility I have put on them, my holiday schedule has changed.

We will be closed from December 25 until January 16.  We will return on Tuesday, Jan. 17.

Thank you for the continued support!

I am an 86-year old woman who has spent most of my life living in Glenwood. I am now living in the nursing home, but have most of my wits still intact. I was astonished and angry after reading Cody Bosek’s letter where he attempted to submit his plan to the city wherein there would be one court saved for a tennis court and four courts given to the pickle ball people. With the explanation that the tennis court is hardly used. This doesn’t seem fair to me, but apparently the pickleballers wouldn’t accept it. Why would they since they got the lions’ share of the deal?

I remember when there was a dustup over whether the school should have a football or soccer program. At that time the football side won, but now the school has a soccer program. Hmm, what changed? Has there been any input from the community about whether they approve of the elimination or redaction of tennis to be replaced by pickle ball?

I agree with Cody Bosek.  Eliminating all tennis courts in the City Park is a big mistake and hopefully one that won’t come to fruition!

Removing the opportunity for area youth–and anyone else–to engage in this classic, long-standing, traditional and competitive sport would not only be a travesty and a disservice to young people, but to everyone, tennis player or not.

If you lower the quality of life for children by taking away healthy opportunities, you ultimately lower it for everyone.  That’s obvious.
