Watch what you eat
Some women will attest that men can be pests; maybe that’s why a Chester woman allegedly fed her husband bug spray. Tressie S. Ward, 45, of Castlewellan Trail, was charged with adulteration of food last month, accused of putting bug spray on her husband’s food. No other information is available on the March 14 incident.

More criticism for roundabout on Winterfield
There has been previous discussion regarding the wisdom or benefit of the roundabout installed on Winterfield Road, and I have yet to see the value, but the question is this: The design was to accommodate the development of the adjacent property, which has certainly not yet been developed.
