might think twice on where they came from.

The current temperature is 57 degrees.

L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.

The rumor that Subway will not be building new facilities on the
intersection of Hill Ave. and Hiway 17 was disappointing to many, if not
most, local residents. It also begs the question. Who will be
responsible for maintaining the vacant property on the busiest
intersection in town?
-------------------------
Crews have started setting out traffic signs along McHugh Avenue. Thank
God for the Federal money assistance to resurface the street I have
recently renamed "Crater Alley". Before anyone starts any serious
reconstruction, I certainly hope they send someone down to the bottom of
the larger holes t makes sure there's no animals or small children down
there.
----------------------------
Speaking of Grafton streets and improvements thereof. I mentioned that
Tom Hart submitted a question about Hill Avenue. I even mentioned that
"maybe" Wally or Norman Russum could answer it for us. Apparently I was
so sure one of them could answer the question, I forgot to include the
question.
Anyway, even without known what the question was, Wally sent the
following note. >>> Hi Gary
Very good column today. What was Toms question? Tom Hart that is.
Many things fascinate me as I move slowly around town. One,... as I go
by Allen Collettes potato house and see all the trucks filled with seed
potatoes I think about the farmers of the past cutting them by hand. I
remember my mother and me and a lot of other people cutting them by
hand. It was a back breaking job and we got very little in pay then.
Then Damas French invented the first machine to cut potatoes. I
remember the day Damas demonstrated it in the building where the Record
is on the south side of the building where his shop was. He truly was a
proud and smart individual. He was also a very gentle man.
I would love to hear some memories of some that did that kind
of work. They could teach us all some lessons in life Best
regards, Wally <<<<
Thanks a million for caring and sharing Wally. Damas and his family
have contributed much to Grafton's growth.
Anyway, the question I should have included in the last Gazette was,
>>>
Hi Gary,
I have a question that I have been thinking about for many years.
Maybe someone out there can answer it for me.
"Whendid Hill Ave first get paved, and, when where the sidewalks
first put in?
Tom Hart
Ps: Keep up the good work, Grafton needs the Gazette. <<< Thanks a
million for caring and sharing Tom. Now that Wally actually knows the
question, I'm pretty sure he can answer it.

GOTTA - GO - WORK - ON - MY - DASH
==============================
The Gazette works best, when the folks that read it, write it. Or so it
seems to me.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
