Irene Encourages Entreprenurial Spirit

If Hurricane Irene hits hard this Sunday, there could be many yards full of downed trees and limbs.

It is nothing any of us would wish for, but a local man has put the word out that if you need a worker, he's available.

Tom Vece of High Street in Clinton has a sign advertising "Hurricane Cleanup - Trees and Branches" in his front yard. He certainly is a planner as the sign has been up for several days.

And why not? Large tree branches are no easy feat to chop up and remove from one's yard - especially if you do not own a chainsaw or even a hand saw.
