It says “Reporters Ed Freundl and Don Richter post blogs twice a week” on the front page of our newspaper, and “Ed Freundl talks not only about issues but why they are important to you” on my blog page at www.chelseastandard.com.
Ouch.
After a gentle reminder from my editor, and a not-so-subtle nudge from elsewhere, I’m back in the blogging business after going 0-for-June.
Not for nothing, but it’s been a busy month around here.
Car crashes, city council tax increases, historical museum openings, high school graduations, retaining wall collapses.
Chelsea is a busy place, and it’s kept me busy bringing you the information about your town that you want and need to know.
Did you know we have a new city manager who spent the last few years in Dexter village government? You do if you read our paper.
Did you know Timber Town has been restored to its former glory by the tireless efforts of an army of volunteers? You do if you read our paper.
Did you know many of the town’s ancestors came here from out East by way of the famous Erie Canal? You do if you read our paper.
Did you know that Michigan’s only venomous snake, the Eastern Massasauga rattlesnake, can be found right outside Chelsea?
You didn’t? Well, neither did I, but you will when you read our paper this week.
You have a right to expect that we will do our best to bring you the news on a timely basis (at least as timely as a weekly publication can be), and to expect that I can take at least a few minutes each week to update our Web-based readers.
My thanks to “JW” and “Leslie” for talking the time to post comments on my few previous blogs, and to Michelle for that not-so-subtle nudge reminding me to get back online.
“Twice a week” is a good goal to strive for, but let’s start with baby steps for now.

Welcome back! I was beginning to wonder if I was alone again out in the land of Chelsea blogs.
Here's a hint for ya that might make it easier to keep up with the twice a week thing. Unlike newspaper articles, blog posts don't have to be fully journalistic printing-press-worthy articles. Short news briefs or friendly commentaries, no longer than a paragraph or two, mixed in with the longer features, keeps people interested and coming back.
See you online!
Welcome back! :)
I know about rattlesnakes around Chelsea. As a small child, my grandpa and I were headed to Chelsea to have feed fround at Tony Nielsen's. Just before Cavanaugh Lake grandpa ran over one in the middle of the road. He got out, grabbed it bu it;s tail, (just in case the business end wasstill alive) tossed it in the backof our old Dodge truckon went on our way. He took it back home to his farm in Waterloo. It was quite a topic of conversation for some time - either 1947 or 48.
