I really need to drink more coffee before writing. In my post on Yogurt container recycling, I mentioned that it would benefit the elementary school. This is incorrect as you can see from the flyer, it benefits the Centenary Preschool.
My apologies if this caused confusion. I promise not to post anything else before 6 am and 2 cups of coffee or after 10 pm.
Cheers.

Recycle Yogurt Containers and Help Elementary School
If you eat yogurt, you can now help Centenary Elementary School by recycling the wide mouth Yogurt containers. They will be used by large retailers to pot seedlings and plants. This is a very creative way to recycle and will help keep both the yogurt containers and the black pots out of the landfills.

Daytime Break-ins In Lunenburg County
It was with dismay that I read a recent article in the Kenbridge Victoria Dispatch about a rash of recent break-ins. It seems that there have been six or more break-ins from Victoria to Kenbridge that occurred in the daytime over the last week or two. While the Sheriff's office is not releasing a great deal of information, the KV Dispatch did mention that the incidences might be related.
Is nowhere safe anymore? While this might seem a normal occurrence for some parts of the country, here in Southside, we expect better. Although I am a newcomer to the county and to the region, I have come to take for granted the low crime rates in the area. It's not just our possessions that are in danger, it's a way of life. I find that I already resent having to worry about whether some miscreant is going to be breaking into my house going through my underwear drawer to steal whatever few valuables I might have tucked away.
While the police are investigating these crimes, it's really up to us, the citizens of Southside to protect our way of life. The sheriff's office has asked that all residents be aware of any activity that seems out of place and notify the authorities to report any suspicious activity. Someone has seen something or heard something that can help to solve these crimes and protect our community.
Incidents have been reported at:
Switchback Road near Kenbridge - 1/4/2008
South Hill Road - 5 miles from Kenbridge - 1/7/2008
Court Street - Victoria - 1/7/2008 (small white car seen just prior to break-in)
Mecklenburg Street, Victoria - 1/10/2008
Church Street - Kenbridge - 1/11/2008
Tisdale Circle - just outside Kenbridge - 1/11/2008
If you have any information concerning these crimes, contact the Lunenburg County Crimesolvers at 434-696-3100. A possible reward of up to $1000 is offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for these crimes. It is not necessary to give your name if you choose not to do so.

More Winter Weather on the way
Have you ever thought about how frustrating it must be to be a weatherman? You predict the weather by looking into your crystal ball or running all the little computer programs that tell you what the weather should be. You think you are sure so you get on tv and tell millions of people what you think. People rush to the store and buy toilet paper and milk and then.... You are wrong and everyone hates you.
Well, they have done it again. More winter weather in the forecast for Southside. Here is the advisory.
