Todeschini hit the ace with a nine-iron on the Inlet course’s second hole, a 145-yard par three.
Witnesses to the feat were Michael Button, Michael Morschauser and Matt London.

SIGNS & THE PLANNING BOARD
Q: This may sound like a stupid question, but what is a sign?
A: The Town of Webb has a comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, which includes a whole section on signs. The definition of a sign is the first thing described in that section, which reads:

Last week we had the opportunity to attend the NYS Fair. Love the Fair! I grew up not far from the Fairgrounds and attended every chance I had.

I looked out the window and saw the early morning fog dressing the grasses with dew as the sun tried to break through the haze.
It was a muggy morning, much too warm for the windbreaker my mother insisted I wear.
When the bus was out of sight of our house, I peeled it off and wrapped it around my waist.
As the bus moved along we swished past the familiar forest of my summer’s exploits. Continue reading
