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

Supervisor Provost also filled out the required DNR permit application. Thanks are extended to him for all his work to expedite this important work as we anticipate it will commence as soon as possible.

Further, town residents can decide if we, as a Town want to consider a lawsuit(s) in response to hers [recall some years ago the T. Grant sued Portage County over double taxation regarding ambulance service]. It is important to know that a town can sue and be sued. And so, it goes…

Don’t forget to get out and vote Tuesday April 1. The Town Hall will be open for voting from 7am until 8pm.

More wonky weather on the way this weekend…Sharon
