It may be two months before summer rains begin and even though March was a rainy month, we are still in the grips of a serious drought. This week has been especially dry and the danger of brush fires has returned. Like the county board, we believe it's important for our readers to obey watering restrictions so we can ensure a continued supply for years to come. Watering of lawns and flower beds is permitted between the hours of 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. No watering is permitted on Saturday or Sunday.
Hand watering using a hose is permitted any time.
For more information about watering restrictions, call 796-7211. Dawn Center update As a result of our Sunday story April 8 on the work of the Dawn Center, readers have sent in about a half-dozen small donations. That is encouraging but to expand and make repairs at the shelter overflowing with clients, the Dawn Center needs some hefty donors. Executive Director Lori Hoban is meeting with at least one company that may fill that bill but others are needed to get behind the charity. We endorse the work of the Dawn Center because it is meeting the nitty-gritty daily needs of women in trouble.
