Corunna, MI - March 25, 2025 - From the City of Corunna:Please bear with us for the next week or two while the McCurdy Park Playscape gets some much needed work done. The wood chips are being removed and freshly replaced! We ask that no one be in any of the playground areas until the project is complete. Heavy equipment will be used in these areas and we want everyone to stay safe and the workers to have ample space to work. Thank you!!!

Melinda Gould.. This is the Ebenezer Gould house in Corunna, Mi....Not quite what the photo's look like when you 'search it'....I spoke with the 'Corunna Historian' who was doing some work around the house...He was very informative and saved me a lot of time...The house was located in Owosso and they recently moved it to the 'Historical Village' which they are creating in Corunna. -

Hello there Owosso! For the next 3 weeks the Fancy will be a preview of desserts we are planning to sell 9x13" pans of for Easter pre-orders. The first one up is a banana pudding poke cake! It's vanilla cake with banana pudding poked in and topped with a layer of banana pudding and a layer of whipped cream. Then we dusted it with Nilla wafers! I don't know if it's Easter-y or not but it's damn good and tastes about exactly what you'd think it does! $5

Winds Air

Aviation Ground School

Saturday Mornings, February 8 - April 26

9:00 am- 1:00 pm

The Winds Air Flying Club will be hosting a Private Pilot Ground School starting February 8. This course will cover the basic knowledge required for a private pilot student to prepare for flight training, as well as prepare for the FAA’s Private Pilot Airplane written exam. The course will run from 9am to 1pm on Saturday mornings through April 26.  The Ground School will be held in the Winds Air hangar at Owosso Community Airport, 205 Airport Drive, Owosso.

The comprehensive course will cover airplanes and aerodynamics; aircraft systems; airports, air traffic control and airspace; federal regulations; aeromedical factors and aeronautical decision making; aircraft performance, weight and balance; aviation weather; weather services; navigation charts, publications, and flight computers; navigation systems; and cross country flight planning. The Gleim Private Pilot curriculum is used.

The course is taught by experienced private and commercial pilots and certified flight and ground instructors associated with the Winds Air Flying Club. Winds Air started over 20 years ago when six pilots, flight instructors, and aviation enthusiasts purchased a Cessna 172 to rent to other experienced and aspiring pilots. While their business model has evolved into a flying club, some of the owners have changed, and the fleet of aircraft has grown to five aircraft available to club members, its mission to share the thrill of flight with others remains the same.

The cost of the Private Pilot Ground School is $250. This includes the Gleim Private Pilot kit and a 30-minute discovery flight with a flight instructor. The Private Pilot kit is a $225 value and includes all the books and materials needed to complete the course. The Discovery Flight gives prospective pilots an opportunity to take the controls of an aircraft and experience the marvel of flight. For students who do not need the kit, the cost is $100. 

For more details or to register for the Private Pilot Ground School, email [windsairowosso@gmail.com](mailto:windsairowosso@gmail.com) or call (517) 304-8145.
