 In the News The Jerry Springer Show will be host to some of Redbud's own! Candi and Ronnie Baxter will be flying to Chicago next week for the taping. Candi called the Springer producers with a show idea and they invited them to appear. Candi is keeping the subject of the show to herself - evidently it's supposed to be a surprise for Ronnie. Also attending the taping will be Ronnie's brother, Eric, who has been living with them since last May. We'll let you know when a show date has been scheduled. The Body Building Club of Micky Adair and Ted Burkholz is still welcoming new members. (Currently Micky and Ted are the only members.) Workout sessions are held each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7:00pm at Ted's place. Theraputic massages are exchanged at the end of each session. If you want to get pumped up with Ted and Micky, just drop by. Markley Brothers Band gigs have for the most part been postponed due to the fallout between Julie Markley (piano and vocals) and Randy Markley (lead guitar and vocals). Ever since Julie left Randy to go stay with her mom in Springfield for the time being, there has been a big hole in the band's sound. The boys are auditioning replacements, but Julie's sweet harmonies will be sorely missed in the meantime. Thankfully, for all of us fans of the Markley boys, you will still be able to catch them at their regular Friday night gigs (9:00) at the Moose Lodge, albeit without Julie. The old Olsen home may have a buyer. A young fellow from Newark, New Jersey has made an offer -- it's a might low but I think we'll be able to negotiate a decent price. His name is Steve Morgan, so be ready to give him a friendly Redbud welcome. (He's going to be taking Burton's position out at the Agribig plant, so many of you may want to make him feel especially welcome.) What's that smell down by site #27? That would be the Patel family. They are originally from India (don't ask me to spell the name of their home town), and the unusual odor you're smelling is usually from Dipa's kitchen and her wonderful curry chicken. Don't knock it unless you've tried it. (I have and it's delicious!) If your hunting license has expired, you can get it renewed down at the Ryan sister's hardware store. They asked me to mention that everything in their automotive section will be on sale next week. Consider it done! Remember Frank Haney? Some of you old-timers might remember a college boy who lived here a few years back. He had a band called the Farmers. Anyway, Frank has teamed up with a couple of buddies, Dave Stratton and Carol Kimball, to write a musical comedy. And guess what - it takes place right here in the Redbud Mobile Estates! I've heard the CD of the tunes and they sound real pretty, so I'm sure they have a hit on their hands. Frank tells me it's all fictional, but I'm not sure he's being entirely straight with me. Look for it on a big-city stage sometime soon, and in the meantime, check out their website: Lust'n Rust. Latisha's Cutting Edge is having a special all this month on waxing services. And remember, unslightly body hair is not just a female problem these days. As always, Redbud residents get a 10% discount on all services (but not merchandise) at Latisha's shop. By the way, if you want to get to know Latisha better, you're at the right place. She's the Spotlight subject this month! Don't forget Tai Chi! It's good for your body and your soul. I'll be leading our regular group every morning at 6:00, so stop by and give it a try. It's a great way to start the day! That's all the news that's fit to print for now. (If you want news that's not fit to print, see Tanya.) If you have a news story for RedbudONLINE, email me or just stop by my trailer (site #1, of course). A CORRECTION: I hate it when I do this. In the last issue of this publication I referred to a new resident, Janelle Hughes. Oops! Her name is Janette. I'm sorry, Janette, I'll try to remember from now on.
