That even happens in rural areas as far from the cities as I am. We have two lakes here that are developed and attract retirees and weekenders. It's tough to get anybody who's from around here to serve in local government unless they have an axe to grind or their own personal agenda. Most locals are like me,just want to be left alone and hope somebody with some common sense will take care of business and not let the wheels fall off. So,we end up with those retirees on the lakes sticking their noses in to things,expecting a rural area to be more like where they came from. Then the backlash comes from the single issue hotheads who would resort to violence if need be to stop the outsiders. Things just get even more divided and there's even less common sense year after year. There are three of us on Township Board of Review. I lost both of the other members this year. I tried to count the other day,how many have been on there in the 20 years that I've been. I think these two make numbers 10 and 11. That makes a turnover about every two years. This is the first time I've lost two at once. I've got a distant cousin who's supervisor in another township just to the southeast of me. I saw him at the gas station yesterday. He said he lost two BOR members this year too. It's just plain tough to get somebody to do that job unless they think it'll help them get their own assessment lowered. Believe me,anybody who thinks that is definitely on the wrong side of the table.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
