There will eventually be a new school and community playground at Hannibal’s Fairley Elementary School. While the final design of the playground isn’t certain yet, one thing is: “What we will have is very different from what we have now,” said Fairley principal Roseann Schoonmaker, a member of the committee pulling the new playground together.
A fox has been coming around on and off, early mornings, at Dick Drosse’s house in Minetto.
The award-winning photographer has grabbed his camera time and again in an attempt to capture a portrait of the visitor.
However, it spooks easily.
“I couldn’t figure how I could step out and get a good photo,” Drosse said. “I’d just get ready to take the photo, and the fox would run off.”
A little while ago, he found out why.
As the fox strolled toward the house, “out of the brush pops our cat, Leo, chasing the fox,” Drosse explained. It’s as if Leo’s yelling, “There’s only room for one boss around here!”
If you’d like to see more of Drosse’s photography, visit the Oswego Public Library; it is hosting an exhibition of his work through Oct. 5.
