This month's Snippets comes to you courtesy of DANZ LAWNMOWING locally owned and operated by Daniel Deane. Those of you who use the recycling Centre will know how well kept it is and this is thanks to Daniel who has the contract for tidying the grounds and keeping the lawns mowed.

PERSONAL ITEMS

We were all shocked at the sudden passing of John Daily who had been associated with Sanson since 1963 and was well known and well liked by us all. He will be greatly missed by not only his family but the wider community. Our sympathy goes out to his children and grandchildren.

We are pleased to hear that both June Tricker and Joan Richards are progressing after their recent trips to hospital. We grumble about the health system but when we need it it is there. We have several other residents who are not in the best of health and we send them cheer germs.

Kelly and Roger Fergusson of Cemetery Rd. have welcomed into their home a wee daughter, Paige born on July 19th and weighing 7lbs 9 oz. Paige has a big brother and a small sister who are delighted with her. We hear that there are several other arrivals expected and we would love to hear from their parents.

Larry Olsson who works at The Tile Centre recently received an award at the Palmerston North Business Awards for his Floor and Wall tiling expertise. Congratulations Skin!!!

LADIES! If you are at a loose end on the first Tuesday of the month the Womens Institute will welcome you with open arms.

NEIGHBOURHOOD SUPPORT

There have been a couple of disturbing incidents in the village recently probably caused by people passing through and we are hoping to step up the nightly patrols. If you are willing to help please contact either James on 3293722 or Del on 3293674. Dave Fraser from the Bulls Police has been of great help to us and does regular patrols around the area. We are all grateful to the nightwatchmen who regularly check out the school, hall and business premises. Remember, if you are going to be away, let a trusted neighbour know. We are also concerned about the roaming dogs and it is a poor show when one of our residents feels forced to carry a dog repeller when she goes for her evening walk. She was menaced by a snarling dog in the street and was quite terrified. Since the Council has combined with the P.N.C.C. with dog control it is not so easy to contact the dog ranger but we urge anybody with a problem to contact the Council and lay a complaint.

SANSON COMMUNITY LIBRARY

We had a well attended holiday programme in the school holidays and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. There are some very creative children out there. We have received confirmation of a computer for the Library which will give access to the internet and E-mail. Hopefully we will be able to find a few more volunteers (male or female) who are able to spare the odd hour helping out. Even if you know nothing about computers you will soon be taught. If I can learn anyone can!

Our next book change is on Wednesday August 10th at 10 30a.m. If you would like to come along and help please do. It would be helpful if those of you with overdue books would return them before this date. Several books have gone missing without trace. These are Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Cool Crafts for Creative Kids, Sing Hey Diddle Diddle, Maxwell's Curse and Passionate Intruder. Four of these are children's books and we ask mothers to have a hunt for them.

We also have a good supply of jigsaw puzzles and remember our photo copying service at 10c per A4 sheet.

SANSON COMMUNITY COMMITTEE

Our next meeting will be held in the Library on Wednesday 24th at 7 p.m. Feel free to come along and let us know your concerns.

SANSON COMMUNITY HALL

Users of the hall may notice that the building has recently been re clad and anybody endeavouring to kick a hole in the wall is more likely to break their foot rather than the wall. We have also invested in a new stove thanks to good bookings and Jeff of Leader and Watt in Bulls who did us a really good deal. Next year's diary has quite a number of bookings already so if you are planning a celebration and need a venue it will pay to get in early. Contact Del on 3293674. It would be appreciated if smokers who stick to the No Smoking rule and go outside the building to smoke, would please not drop their butts. I find it disgusting to have to pick them up and as the hall area is used by the school too the staff there are quite annoyed also.

I can't think of anything else to complain about but I would like to thank Chad who rolled out the big ruts in my front lawn after a young hoon did a donut there.
