More Village Vandalism

On the Hill

From snow, cold rains and cellar floods on Monday, April 16 to an 87 degree day of golf the next Monday was the shortest Spring I can remember. Those April rains sure did bring out beautiful May flowers though. Enjoy!

   The loss of three veterans of the Alplaus fire Department in the month of April is remembered in a couple of extra pages in this issue of the Home Town News. We are reminded of how each of them contributed to this special place we call home……AWH
