Corridor F~P w. Capers WHISTLING SWANS This past weekend Maggie and John Mann saw thirty-seven Swans together in the Cranberry Marsh area. Many others saw them too as the hot line to the Naturalist's was kept ringing. These are common Wild Swans of the east. They migrate through the Great Lakes region to the Arctic. Would you be interested in knowing more about the Durham Naturalist s ? It's a great club to belong to, informative and interesting. We'll give you more information next week. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? It seems- rather funny that two lots, one of them on Northview Ave., and one on Broadview Ave., designated as road allowances, sixty six feet wide are being advertised as serviced lots for sale! No one else in the subdivision has sewers going by their door. This looks a bit peculiar. What do you think? SEWER INFORMATION Just a reminder about the sewer deadline April 29, $150. If you neglect to sign up by this date the cost will be $750. More reminders in the coming weeks.
