WOW!!!   What a weekend.  Saturday was pouring down rain.  Sunday was bitter cold, brutal wind and we had snow showers on and off all day.  Sunday night into Monday morning was to be very cold with frost predicted….again, so anyone who had flowers and plants out had to cover them or take them inside.  Thought we might have to get out the shovel again.  Will summer ever get here and stay???   This weather makes it rough to try and plant a garden or get flowers in.  Been trying to get some landscaping done at Cold Spring, but Mother Nature just isn’t cooperating.  In time, everyone will get their work done.

There will be a dumpster at the Township Building on Saturday, the 21^st, from 8 a.m. to Noon.  See ad in this week’s paper to get details.

Bob McGuire is looking for a Turnpike School 1960 Year Book for a class picture.  If you might have one he could borrow to copy the picture, please contact him at the info below.

HINT:  “Did you know meat tenderizer can be used for bee stings?  Make a paste with water and  rub it into the sting hole and get relief.  This is because the tenderizer contains papain, an enzyme from the papaya plant that breaks down proteins in insect poisons.  By inactivating some of the venom, it dissolves some of the pain.”

Memorial Day parade in Lopez, 10 a.m., Monday, the 30^th.  Kids….remember to meet at the Post Office at 9:30 a.m. if you’d like to march in the parade.  Speaker this year will be Rep. Tina Pickett.

Don’t know if there were any local turkey hunters.  Haven’t heard of any so far.

Don’t have a whole lot of news this week.  Guess most are just staying home until the weather warms up and they can enjoy coming.

Happy Anniversary  to Tony and Patti Sneidar, 26^th; Joe and Diane (Charnik) Fanning, 28^th; and Jack and Joyce Walsh, 29^th.  Have a super day.
