Arnoldo Siano  | [11:23 a.m.]

Lisandra, I looked into buying our tickets for the Devano Opera Company’s visit to Ridgeway next month. I can’t believe how fast they’re selling.

Lisandra Condou  | [11:26 a.m.]

That doesn’t surprise me. Locals have never had the opportunity to see the group before.

Arnoldo Siano  | [11:27 a.m.]

That’s true. Anyway, I know you didn’t want to spend more than $40 for your ticket, but the tickets in that price range are sold out for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.

Lisandra Condou  | [11:28 a.m.]

Are there any other options?

Arnoldo Siano  | [11:31 A.M.]

We could go to one of the matinees on Saturday or Sunday. Or we can get the $60 tickets for Friday night.

Lisandra Condou  | [11:33 a.m.]

Well, I’m working all weekend.

Arnoldo Siano  | [11:36 a.m.]

All right. I’ll book us tickets for Friday. We can just eat dinner at home instead of going out. That’ll help us keep costs down.

Thank you for agreeing to give a talk on the technology behind the project and the way that we have anticipated the needs of users interacting with the system. — [1] —. A laptop computer, projector, and projection screen will be available at the meeting, so you should prepare slides with text and graphics to accompany the talk. — [2] —.

We will have four speakers on that day, all of whom have vital information to share with our valued guests. — [4] —.

Hi, everyone. The HR director asked me to check how the planning is going for the staff retreat at Sunset Lodge.

Only breakfast and lunch. We need to have the dinner catered.

Community News


(July 11)—The city of Bemmington is still feeling the effects of the heavy rainstorm that hit the area last week, dropping two-to-three inches of rain per hour for several days and causing the banks of the Tyson River to overflow. The flooding has resulted in the cancellation or postponement of several events, the most recent of which is the annual Regional Golf Tournament. —[1]—.
The tournament was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 16, at Mendoza Park. Maintenance workers have pumped water from the most affected areas back into the adjacent sections of the river to speed up the drying process. — [2] —. However, the ground is still too damp. The tournament could not be moved to Pineview Park, which sits on much higher ground, because a baseball tournament was already scheduled for that day. Instead, the event has been moved to Saturday, August 6. — [3] —.
Participants in the tournament, including last year’s champion James Lehman, will be contacted by the tournament’s event planner. — [4] —. Local business owners hope that the change won’t affect attendance at the event, as it is a big draw for tourists. “Whenever we have a lot of visitors in town, it’s good for Bemmington,” said Kang Shao, who contributed funding to the tournament. “I hope we see a similar turnout to last year’s.”

Dear Mr. Krueger,
I’m sorry I missed your telephone call yesterday. In response to your question in the message that you left, I can confirm that your loan application is moving along nicely. We are awaiting confirmation of your credit score, and I have also determined that the debt-to-income ratio for this loan is reasonable.
There are a few documents that I still require. I know that you have six years’ worth of business tax records, but we only require three for our purposes. These should be single certified copies of your yearly tax summary from the National Treasury Department. In addition, I need a detailed account of how the funds will be used. Your application only stated “building expansion,” but we need a more thorough explanation, including an itemized list of services and materials. I’ve attached the form you need. You can visit www.almontebank.com/forms/b451.html to see a sample form that is filled out so you know what to do.
All completed documents should be mailed to my office, the address for which appears at the top of the attached form. You may submit the documents anytime, but the sooner you do, the sooner we can issue the funds. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Questions 186-190 refer to the following article, e-mail, and notice.

NORFIELD (Feb. 15) — City officials have confirmed that the contamination levels at Augusta Pond, on the eastern side of town, are nearly ten times the level that is considered ideal. A test was carried out on February 2 by the Department of Rural Affairs (DRA). Officials determined that the increased use of pesticides and fertilizers on the surrounding farmland has likely contributed to the problem, and that a risk is being posed to the wildlife living in and around the pond as well as people using it for recreational purposes.
The city council plans to debate funding a cleanup project at the lake as well as passing new regulations to restrict the use of chemicals on farmland. The cleanup could cost as much as $3 million. While most council members are in favor of the project, citing health and environmental benefits, some council members oppose the proposal. Jesse Sierra fears that the financial burden will put the town at risk for bankruptcy. Marjorie Rowe is concerned that the work would cause other important projects to be postponed. The council hopes to make a decision soon.

Date: February 16
Subject: Augusta Pond

Dear Ms. Teague,
Several members of the community have contacted me regarding the article about Augusta Pond in yesterday’s edition of the Norfield Times. I was not contacted for a statement, but I share Ms. Rowe’s opinion about the proposed work. It would be a good idea for us as city council members to hold an open forum for community members to share their opinions. I think everyone on the council appreciates that this is a complex topic, so the decision should not be taken lightly.
Sincerely,
Randall Moore

PUBLIC NOTICE

The Norfield City Council will hold a special meeting at the Norfield Community Center at 7 pm on Tuesday, March 1, to discuss the cleanup of Augusta Pond. Following the test conducted by Cheryl McVey and her team last month, a decision needs to be made about the proposal. Residents of Norfield and other interested parties are invited to attend the meeting and share their feedback. To avoid standing in the back, early arrival is recommended.

Andrew Saldana
814 Cedar Lane
Columbus, OH 43035

Dear Mr. Saldana,
On behalf of the Crenton Art Museum, I would like to bring to your attention a number of upcoming events intended to raise money for the refurbishment of our presentation hall. Special events are usually limited to museum members only; however, we are inviting you to participate in them at no charge so you can cover them for your publication.
Every Friday evening throughout the month of September, we will be offering after-hours tours. For ticketholders, our regular hours of operations won’t apply! Dasras Patel will give a presentation at the beginning of each tour, and then participants will be guided through the various sections of the museum by Barbara Fleming. Tickets are $100 and limited to 25 tickets per event to keep the group size small. Following each tour, refreshments will be served.
Please let me know if you are able to be in attendance by calling my office at 555-0177.

Sincerely,
Carrie Brighton

Hi everyone,
This Friday will be the first of our museum’s special after-hours fund-raising events, so 1 have a few updates for you. Ms. Fleming will be unable to work due to unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, Vince Oswald has volunteered to take over her duties.
On a happier note, I’m pleased to inform you that a generous donor, a local entrepreneur, has offered to match all funds raised dollar for dollar. This will help us to reach our goal for the refurbishment much more quickly. Also, if we meet the goal this month, designer Diana Kirby will attend our October staff meeting to show us her vision for the room.
Thank you all for your hard work!

Subject: Grandey Landscaping

Dear Mr. Hernandez,
I manage a small commercial property in the northwest area of Bloomington, and I am considering changing my landscaping service provider because the owner has recently cut the budget. I asked Grandey Landscaping for a testimonial from someone who is currently using its service, and an employee directed me to you. I’m wondering if you could tell me about the company’s process for designing a flower garden. I’d also like to know how you receive your bills and how accurate these are. In addition, I’m concerned that the equipment will be too noisy for my workers. Please let me know your opinions about this. I would be very grateful for your taking the time to answer my questions.
Thank you,
Luisa Schroeder

Dear Ms. Schroeder,
I would not hesitate to recommend Grandey Landscaping. The company designed a flowerbed for my backyard and made recommendations based on the amount of shade the area receives. There was an extra charge for this service, but I think it was well worth it. I also had a dead tree between my house and my neighbor’s fence, and the company’s employees were able to remove it without any damage to the surrounding structures.
I currently have my lawn mowed and garden weeded twice a month, usually on Saturdays. The equipment is not very noisy, and the workers always clean up the lawn clippings and other debris before leaving. If you use this service, you will not be disappointed.
Best of luck,
Robert Hernandez
