The Turner Lake Road roundabout finally officially opened on Tuesday, an innovation that has been in the works since 1999.

Successive city and community leaders kept the dream of the roundabout alive.

Our Facebook friends have expressed concerns about its safety, but we have driven through the roundabout and all went as expected. We welcome this major road improvement to our city road system and we think those have been doubtful of its impact will soon change their minds.

Even if you are not a scratch golfer, you can have fun at the Oaks Course annual Christmas tournament on Dec. 11.

There will be different fun challenges at each hole. You can read about them at covnews.com.

The shotgun start is 8 a.m., and your day on the course will include lunch and prizes.

The best part of this tournament is that the proceeds will benefit the Miracle League project.
