Steve Vodicka attended the most rescue calls. Yes, we're a
small town, but all of these folks deserve to be called heroes.

March is "Poison Prevention Month". You can never talk
to your children too much about this!
Just a reminder that dog licenses will expire on April 30th.
Please have a current copy of your dog's rabies vaccination
certificate when you renew. The fee is still $5.00 per animal
and city ordinance requires a limit of 3 dogs per household.
Also for new residents, the Village Office is open
Monday - Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The phone
number is 402-828-5355.
Village Maintenance would like to remind everyone that
the only things accepted at the burn pile are trees, branches,
and unfinished lumber (no nails). This is for Unadilla residents only!
NO leaves or garbage please. This could make us lose our
permit with the state, and then there would no longer
be a burn pile.
