News About Town: Trash collection will not pick up yard waste and bulk items in order to to allow field social distancing at county facilities. Household trash and recycling pick up will continue on a regular schedule. Yard waste should not be put in trash or recycling cans, but can be dropped off at full-service waste facilities for a nominal fee. County Recycling Centers and Foxhole Landfill will be closed this Friday, April 10, through Sunday, April 12.

News Around Town: It’s chick season at Renfrow’s. Customers are flocking to the downtown business as early as 8:30 am, even though orders aren’t taken until 9. Expect these first few Friday shipments to sell out quickly. This week there is a 12-chicks-per-customer maximum, which will probably be in place until demand eases.

One Fun Thing: Tonight the moon will be the closest the it gets to the earth all year -- provided the clouds cooperate. It’s gonna be big and it’s gonna be bold; it’s the Super Pink Moon. Get out there and howl.
