The Spring newsletter from LFUCG Waste Management has just been delivered to your mailbox with three free leaf bag coupons. If you don’t plan to redeem all of those, could you please fill out your name and address and drop them through the mail slot at 52 Mentelle Park? Second Presbyterian Church uses those to transport 120 BackPack Buddies bags — a program through God’s Pantry that provides weekend meals and snacks for needy children — to Cardinal Valley Elementary School each week during the school year. Thanks!
Clinton Land, 73, who lived most of his life at 22 Mentelle Park, died January 20 with his wife of 51 years, Sharon, his sister Helen, and his granddaughter Grace by his side. He is survived by Sharon, sons Clint (Jennifer, Christopher,) Denver (Jenny, Elizabeth,) daughter Lindsey (John, Jordan, Grace, Eli, Nevaeh,) and sister Helen (CJ, Sara Jane). Services will be limited to visitation of family and friends at the family home today from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Social distancing and masks required.
Neighborhood over the next several weeks. Installation of the main and service lines is complete, and restoration of sidewalks, driveways, landscaping and roadways is underway on Cramer, Hambrick, Franklin and Bullock avenues.
