A COMMUNITY TRAGEDY


YESTERDAY'S SUNSET
Saturday,  8:45 AM.  -3 degrees, wind calm.  The sky is partly sunny and clearing.The humidity is 82% and the barometer is trending up, now at 29.92".
   Tragedy struck the Bayfield community this past week.  On Tuesday, Justine Ringberg, the charming girl across the street whom we have watched grow up, was killed in a car accident on her way back to college in Beloit, Wisconsin after being home in Bayfield.  A good friend and fellow student from New York died in the same accident,  and a young man driving the other vehicle was killed as well.  All were 22 years old.  Bad road conditions were blamed for the accident.
   Loosing a child is a parent's worst nightmare,  and our hearts  go out to Gordon and Mary, and to Justine's sisters. They are in our prayers.
   Small towns have their tragedies, just like big ones, and we only heard about this one from neighbors Jane and Sherman Edwards yesterday evening, having missed the news in the Ashland Daily Press.
