4. Residents Looking to Get on Ballot: Though rumor had it residents Ron Tadross and Ray Rudolph were going to challenge their respective property owners' association trustee nominations, Tuesday's annual electors' meetings were quiet. However, a day later Tadross (Estates), Rudolph (East) and Tom Trypuc (Central) announced Wednesday they plan to be listed as village trustee candidates on the March 15 general election ballot and say they are in the process of collecting signatures now.

5. More Snow – Really? Mother Nature is at it again. Temperatures will drop and more snow is on its way. This time, 3 to 5 inches are expected late Thursday into Friday morning. The commute will be another messy one so leave yourself extra time while heading to wherever it is you are going.
