Like many of the other runners participating in today's "Speak Up for Kids" 5K CASA run, Matt Neid is dedicated to the sport.

November is now upon us. So, this is November's lawn and garden to-do list. The season is winding down. The grass has almost stopped growing, and when the first frost comes sometime after Nov. 15, the lawn will finally go to sleep. Then our garden chores will turn to leaf raking. But, what a pleasant task in our cool fall weather!
