DEAR HARRIETTE: I am renting a room from a single mother with two kids. I live in a bedroom on the opposite side of the house with my own bathroom. Most of the time I do not even see the children or their mother because of our schedules. The kids leave for school at 7 a.m., and I am up for work by 9 a.m. Lately, when I return from work, I notice small things in my bedroom and bathroom are out of place. I've gone so far as to take pictures of how everything looked before I left just to make the comparison. It's safe to say that someone in the house is touching my things, and I'm assuming it's the children. How do I handle this without sounding too confrontational? – Don't Touch

‘Hauling’ in the big guns

Friday afternoon the “tank” that had resided for years beside the old VFW building located on the east side of the Washita River bridge was moved to its new permanent location at the Clinton Veterans Center south of Clinton. It weighs 56,000 pounds (28 tons) and was placed on a special pad to accommodate its weight. CDN
