No escaping 'cold torture' for Art & Char


Art Krummel, retired BJ art department chief, and wife Charlene Nevada, retired BJ reporter, left their Tallmadge home early this year because they were fed up with the Northeast Ohio winter.

But weather-caused problems aren’t that easy to avoid.

Let Art explain:

The minus zero weather ran us out of Ohio earlier than usual this year. We headed south Wednesday. We arrived in Garden City today to find 55 degrees, which seemed balmy. Then we went inside the house and discovered our furnace broke! A chilly 45 inside. This is the year of cold torture. We can't escape it.”

Art and Char bought a second home in Garden City, South Carolina, in 2010. Garden City is 85 miles north of Charleston, South Carolina, 11 miles south of Myrtle Beach and 13 miles from Pawleys Island, South Carolina, where retired BJ printer Dick Latshaw and his wife Pat and BJ business department retiree Harold McElroy’s widow, Linda, live a few blocks apart.

Later, Art reported that the furnace had been fixed and that an outside temperature in the 60s was promised.
