STSS

I’m sorry to report that this will be a short Small Town Sentinel Sunday, everyone. There’s just not much to report in this week’s edition!!

I’d like to start out by acknowledging that T-Fisch and The Small Town Sentinel received some awards earlier this year (this edition was published in February), so way to go, STS! And, in true STS fashion, there was a typo in T-Fisch’s quote about winning his award. I just love it.

But there is one titillating little article on page 3 this week, and it revolves around the hot topic of snow removal. Hot topic, you say? Well, it was in Thornville this winter, it seems. The headline of the article reads Community snow removal concerns on the rise, and a “concerned citizen” went to the Thornville council meeting to share his worries. It sure sounds like this resident was pretty heated, as shown by this direct quote: “Two things are necessary at this point in time… and those things are to immediately manage, instruct, or replace the persons using the [snow plowing] equipment, and, in April, something needs to be done to repair the damage.” It sounds like the snow plows have torn up some citizens’ yards and the residents of Thornville ain’t havin’ it. This resident also stated that plow drivers are, allegedly by multiple community members’ observations, often caught driving at an excessive and reckless rate of speed. And it doesn’t stop there- Other communities are experiencing similar concerns, although more isolated than Thornville’s. 

You know who would take care of this? I do.
