Have the winds of this winter helped ‘trim’ a few of your trees?
Do you need to have some limbs picked up and chipped? Now is your chance.
The village will conduct a monthly service of brush pick up/chipping and pick up on Monday, April 4.
One of the goals of brush chipping and pickup is to keep the tree lawn areas of the Village clear of debris, so that debris litter does not enter the storm sewer system.

Don't ask ONU Engineering Dean Baumgartner if he likes pies.
He probably did at one time, but after March 19 his tastes changed. Here's a report from the ONU Engineering Facebook page:
"Last night (March 19) I participated in ONU Relay for Life participated in "Pie a Professor" at ONU's Relay for Life event. After 30 minutes of nearly constant pies, I tried to buy my way out of another pie. I was only partially successful. At least it was for a good cause!" - Dean Baumgartner
