Did you know that if you recycle your Sunday paper

each week, you will keep 4 trees alive each year

and increase the earth's oxygen?

Lilacs on the south end of the Dustin Wardyn property.

I remember these were planted the fall I was a freshman

in high school. (I had just received my school permit and

watering them every 3-4 days helped me earn gas money.)

THANKS BOB BRANDT FOR THE PHOTOS

 

 

We've had some vandalism around town again.

If you know who is causing this, please call the

Village Office.
