It is evident that he didn't realize how deep the swamp was at the time and was met with opposition at every turn. Now he knows. I am sure that he will make a clean sweep of all, including leftover staff from the Obama regime. I feel certain that Obama... Full story

Roger Boddaert Special to the Village News What would our little village be without the growing canopy of trees that dot our streets, roadways, woodlands, farms, parks and preserves?

The passing years grew multiple tree crops like citrus, cherimoya, macadamia, walnuts, assorted stone fruits and more. We are an agricultural c...
