On the Hill

I really thought that by the second week of March temperatures would be moderating, it's only a couple of weeks away from spring after all. But I was wrong.  Judy and I came back from two weeks in balmy Florida to single digits early Thursday morning and then -4F this morning (Friday). Bad timing on our part I'd say, wouldn't you?  Next year it's longer in Florida for us for sure.

   I have included both January and February call lists for the fire department in this issue of the Home Town News so that you get the full picture of how busy Alplaus fire fighters have been this winter.  January was something - 9 calls on the 15th of January alone. Be sure to thank your neighbor the fire fighter for their dedication to protecting your life and property.….AWH
