Letter: Narrowing Carson Street to 2 lanes
Submitted by editor on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 7:55amShall Carson Street be narrowed to 2 lanes? Will it benefit or harm the community and the affected businesses? My suggestion is simple: Using traffic cones, temporarily close off the lane closest to the curb, give it a 60 day trial, and see what happens. My guess is that it will clearly be shown to be either be a benefit or a problem, and that the issue will solve itself.

Ice fishing is a unique sport that requires a whole different set of fishing techniques, gear and clothing, as opposed to lazy fishing on a warm, drowsy day in the middle of the summer. So, if you’ve never tried fishing through the ice, here’s some information that should be more than enough to get you “hooked” on this winter sport:
