Illegal dumping at Bowmaker Pond in Sharon Springs, cleaned up by State DOT.
By Alexis Pencar
Hey Neighbors!
The “Spring-like” conditions were welcome this past week. I saw the grass change a few shades of green on those few glorious days of sun. The beautiful and bright yellow daffodils have popped up overnight and are a welcome sign of the beginning to the season!
After all the rain, look out for more cloudy and cool weather with lows revisiting the 30s. Some nicer days expected late next week with full sun and highs close to 60!
There was garbage that was illegally dumped at Bowmaker Pond this last week. It was mainly “building debris and mattresses” and definitely was upsetting to the community at large and met with comments on social media. It was determined that NY State DOT cleaned the mess up. As a small community we need to hold each other accountable, so a simple reminder to follow the rules AND if you see something, say something. BIG thanks to those that helped to get this issue corrected.
Happy Birthday to Megan Mahoney! Wish her a big Happy Birthday if you see her around town!
