Did you know that if U.S. homeowners let their grass clippings

remain on the lawn, they could reduce fertilizer use by 25%

and save 1.3 billion pounds of chemical fertilizers and more

diesel fuel than Amtrak uses in 6 years?

The Village Board met Wednesday night, April 13th. The

installation of speed bumps on Main Street was scheduled

for 4-29; they approved a request from Moma Prelle's

Catering to have the kitchen at the Community Center

certified as a commercial kitchen; Tyler Crownover was approved

to be a volunteer fireman; Clerk reported the Community

Center is now a certified shelter for the Red Cross; and the

Clerk was instructed to put up No Dogs/No Pets Allowed

signs on the Community Center fence gates.

Tired of those telemarketers? A friend suggests trying this:

Answer the phone with "Hold on , please..."

Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking

off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would make

each telemarketing call so much more time-comsuming

that possibly boiler room sales could grind to a halt.

Then when you eventually hear the phone company's

"beep-beep-beep" tone, you know it's time to go back

and hang up your handset, which has efficiently

completed its task.

Who knows, it could happen!
