Last week, the residents of Hemlock Street received an early Christmas present â the cleanup of an unsightly, rat-infested pile of abandoned junk that for months had overflowed from a private property onto the street.Â
âMr. Mike did a really good job,â said Belma Llorente, one of the residents who led the effort to have the site cleaned up.
The âMr. Mikeâ she referred to was City Manager Mike Tvenge.
âAll the neighbors are very happy now for the quick action,â she said.
The âquick actionâ took a while to get started, though.
The junk heap first appeared in March, and grew larger as the months passed. Eventually, the stench emanating from the pile became unbearable.Â

It s a simple idea – take what you normally spend for Christmas, or even less, and go on a Caribbean cruise. In John Grisham s 2001 s Skipping Christmas (Doubleday ISBN 0-385-50583-3) that is the premise, and how horrible it could be.
Luther and Nora Krank see their twenty-three year old daughter Blair off for a two year tour with the Peace Tour, and Luther goes home with a new idea. With Blair gone he totals up what they spent last Christmas, and how much chaos and frenzy the holiday brings to his life.
He decides to book a cruise instead, and forget all the falderall of decorating the house and the tree as he usually did. This includes not putting up the eight foot Frosty the snowman on his roof.
