I\u2019m an elderly lady and I have some blank cassette tapes, I\u2019ll give them to anyone who wants them. My number is 748-2942. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

To the person complaining about the mailman or woman not having stamps, well, they can run out of stamps. Here in Nichols the mailman I have is wonderful and sometimes he has stamps and sometimes he doesn\u2019t because the person a few blocks ahead of me bought them all. Don\u2019t yell at the mailman, he has a hard enough job as it is, sorting all this mail and getting it to us safely. Thank you mail people, you are one of the heroes! You helped us through this. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I want to thank all your readers for calling in about locations of chili dogs. I\u2019m going to go enjoy one some today. I also have a comment about Route 434 and Route 17 West of Endicott; it\u2019s terrible! Please patch or repave, do something about all the potholes on 434 and 17, that road is like a washboard. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know who your mail carrier is but immediately when this pandemic began our mail carrier put in an envelope from which we can order our stamps. She always has stamps on her. Now she has a car full of boxes because everyone is ordering, so her mail load has practically doubled. I\u2019d like to offer a shout out to all mail carriers that continue to do their route during these hard times. We need to praise them and we need to thank them every time we see them. Sue is our mail carrier in Berkshire and we are so grateful to her. She\u2019s not only a wonderful mail carrier; she is a very caring person on her route. <\/p>\n

Thank you to Eric Templeton, an environmental conservation officer, who came to McMaster Street Saturday to rescue six baby skunks. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to know why the grass behind the Newark Valley Elementary School, between the fence and Elm Street is not mowed. It\u2019s so tall I worry about ticks or rodents being in there.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

To scare skunks off your property, try using \u201cBare Ground\u201d coyote urine. Framingham, Massachusetts makes it. A hunting supply store should have it. Good luck.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I went to the most wonderful chicken barbeque at the Campville Fire Station on Saturday. We had half a chicken, salt potatoes, baked beans, cabbage salad and a roll. Delicious! Also, they had a real nice bake sale with lots of things you don\u2019t usually see at a bake sale, like pineapple upside down cake, banana bread and more. They served it right to our car! Well worth going to next time they have it. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

There is a place for seniors to play card games at the Community Center in Owego on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. when this activity is allowable due to the virus.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been missing church and would like to see services and you have a computer or cell phone, you can look on YouTube or contact the church you are interested in and ask them if there is a way to view it at home.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

On Mother\u2019s Day my son\u2019s girlfriend picked up a dozen donuts for us and then today, Tuesday, my wife was getting some bagels for me at about 9 in the morning and the people in the car before us at the Dunkin Donuts in Apalachin paid for it. I think that\u2019s a real nice thing! I\u2019m not used to that. I think there should be more people like that. If those people see this in your column, I want to say thank you. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Why is everybody wound so tight? Try doing the speed limit. See what happens. What\u2019s with all these comments about a chili dog? <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Looking to buy and \/ or pick local strawberries. Any suggestions?<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to share this. It is so refreshing that in the middle of many dark times, both in the Owego floods and this national crisis, that Wendy Post has continued to be a light to this community. Her kindness, humility, extensive knowledge, photos and involvement in so many activities here is a beacon for us all. Her recent article, \u201cKindness Matters,\u201d about Charles Plater, was well written. We need to remember that all men and women are created in God\u2019s image and they all have value.  <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Does anyone know places nearby where ATV and Dirt Bike owners are welcome to ride their vehicles? Please call me at (607) 239-3723.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Now that dentist offices are open, why is the Tioga County Dental Van not open? I need dental services and have been told it can’t open because it is too small an area. Please, let the Van open! It is not right to delay needed services forever! Let\u2019s get with it Tioga County Health Department.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking for someone, preferably a person residing in Tioga County, who does re-upholstery. Please reply with a contact number. If not in our county, one to the east or south is fine.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

It would be nice if parking violations were enforced in Owego. Does anyone know if Owego still picks up branches? I’ve seen some laying around for over a month, waiting to be gathered up and chipped.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

When is the Tioga County Dental Van going to open? I need dental services. Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
