take used bags along with you and dispose of properly.

“HAIL” TO THE GOOD
OLD DAYS AT FLYTE
SCHOOL
Unetta Hildabrant
The Alumni of Flyte School House met at the old school
building on July 14th at 6:30 p.m. to renew our memories
of our days in the old school.
The school is used every Monday night by the Boy Scouts
of America, Troop #102. The boys were very hospitable
to our group of 21. In fact, they welcomed us by writing
a sign on the old blackboard; it said “Welcome Alumni of
Flyte School”. We took pictures and reminisced about
our days in the old school.
We then went to Jim and Jean Haneys’ (our hostesses)
for cake and ice cream. Jim asked each of us to share
memories of our time at school. The one thing that
stood out was we made up our own games and used our
imaginations to make them, we had a good time doing
it. We shared good memories, funny memories and some
memories we should have forgotten.
We had a wonderful time and wish everyone could have
been there.
UPDATE E911
ADDRESSING PROJECT
In July we received a memo from Monroe County Control
Center with reference to this project. Enclosed is information of projected dates of notification letters to be sent to
residents. At this time these are approximate dates barring
any discrepancies or conflicts.
It appears Paradise and Eldred are first on the list and are
August 13th and 27th. It is estimated that Ross Township
could be slated for the middle to end of November. Once
again any questions should be directed to Kim Borger
570-420-3466 or www.monroeco911.com , then click
