PHOTO OF THE DAY: ON THE MIC

That’s Gary Schelske and his son, Teddy, who were working together to announce the Fourth of July parade in Menno last week. Schelske offered comments about the importance of military service in the Menno community and what that means for its Independence Day celebration year after year. You can read those comments and peruse additional coverage from the July 4 observance — and see a good amount of pictures — in this week’s Courier.
