The Town & Village of Castile, NY
MAYORS CORNER
This past month our "little boy" turned nine years old. It seemed as if the party lasted for a while week with the family party first, the actual day of celebration and the friends party last. The first two were pretty mellow. The last one was, for the lack of a better word, interesting. There is nothing like seven, nine-year old boys, trapped in your house on a rainy day, with plenty of energy. We were tired, they were like the Energizer Bunny, they kept going and going and....The one thing that I did get out of the whole thing was that these are his friends, the guys that he is going to grow up with. Most of these boys have been friends with him since nursery school and they have played together ever since. I think that is pretty cool! Since I left for the Army when i was 19, I never kept in touch with my friends from home. In the military, I made some good friends, but we were always separated by moves and reassignments. Every once in a while we get reminded why we live in Castile and what the real meaning of having true friends is. I have seen this friendship in many of the adults that live here. I hope that our son is able to enjoy this same level of friendship for years to come.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Turn lights, appliances, and electronics off when they are not in use. Today's larger homes have a lot of rooms where operating TVs, radios, computers, and lights may be forgotten. Unplug idle power adapters and cell-phone chargers, too, or use a power strip with a switch for convenience. For outdoor lights, install motion sensors or a combination of photo sensors to turn lights on and timers to turn them off.
NO PARKING
No parking on the Village streets November 1st through April 1st between 1AM and 6AM. This allows our Public Works Department to handle plowing. Parking violations will be prosecuted by the law. Cars will be towed at owners expense.
LEAF PICK UP
Will be held the first two weeks in November with ONE trip per street each week. LEAVES ONLY!!
