Weekly Blast: Extended summer hours at the Transfer Station begin June 1 and run through August 31. Open hours will be: Wednesday 11am – 7pm and Saturday 9am – 5pm. Please note these hours. This is a reminder that if you are interested in a compost pass you can purchase one at the TS. Just ask one of the attendants. Pot-hole patching was on tap this week. A couple loads of crushed red granite were delivered to a few sections of road to aid our grading operations. Soon some cold-patching of road sections will commence along with joint and crack-sealing. The mosquitoes and ticks are in high season now. Be sure to protect yourself as you enjoy your gardens and other outside activities. Take care, Sharon
