Need to get rid of those pesky weeds you just pulled? Open burning of weeds is allowed within Town limits with the use of a permit. Periods of burn restrictions may be put in place due to continued drought. If you have any questions, please contact Fire/Rescue Chief Mike Carroll at 505-771-7135. The following is information pertinent to Burn Permits: Burning is permitted between the hours of 9 am - 4 pm. You must call the BURN HOTLINE 771-7104 every day you plan

to burn to check if burning is permitted on that day. The area where open burning will take place must be clear of all

combustible materials. You must have sufficient tools to work with open flame.

Fire Extinguishing equipment must be on site to help ensure that that flames do not get out of control (i.e.

garden hose with water access, fire extinguisher). Burn permits can be obtained at the Town Hall reception desk, application fee is $10 for a full 30 days. All applications must be received before 4:30 pm to be processed.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG…BUT SO HAVE THE WEEDS!

Please take the time to maintain your property in compliance with Town of Bernalillo Ordinance No. 73 which requires that weeds in excess of four (4) inches in height, or an accumulation of weeds, must be removed from the following areas:

Within the front, rear, or side yard setbacks of property.

Between your property line and the middle of the ally adjacent to the property.

Between your property line and the curb. The area ten (10) feet outside the property

line.

Weeds always seem to crop up in these forgotten areas and it’s important to remember that maintaining or cleaning-up the area between the wall/sidewalk and the curb/alley is the responsibility of the property owner. To report excessive weeds, please contact Suzanne

Hathon, Code Enforcement at the Town of Bernalillo, at 771-3626. Property owners with excessive weeds will

be cited under Ordinance No. 73.

Most out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest events happen in your own home. That means, if you have to give CPR to someone, it will most likely be your child, friend, or family member. The survival rate a er a cardiac arrest episode increases significantly if the pa ent receives high quality CPR right away.

With that in mind, the Town of Bernalillo Fire/Rescue Department will be hos ng a Community CPR Event. Learn to perform the most up‐to‐date CPR skills from the first responders who work in your community.

This class is FREE OF CHARGE! All are welcome! Call 771‐7105 for more info and to reserve your spot

S AVE W ATER & S AVE E NERGY Saving energy and water does more than help the environment, but also helps you save on your utility bills. In each issue we'll offer three simple tips to help you save:

Turn off all lights, appliances and electronics you're not using; an efficient way to do this is to have them plugged into a power strip so you can turn them off all at once!

Switch to low-flow shower heads and faucets to reduce your water use.

Combine errands and trips as much as possible; walk or bike as much as possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to keep you fit!

I bet the above grouping of letters looks like I put my fingers on the wrong keys, or worse, that I forgot how to spell. In fact, it is neither. I have written a cipher to send a message to all the moms in Bernalillo.

Ciphers have been around for a long, long time. They have been used to carry messages to kings, queens, presidents, generals, and more. Of course, most ciphers that carry critical information about politics or battle plans and are very complicated. Mine is not.

Ciphers come in many, MANY sizes and shapes. Hint: mine is just a matter of shifting letters left or right. If you cannot figure it out, look at the bottom of the article for help.

Did you know there is a new room at the library? We call it The “Zone”. It is a place where kids, ages 6 and up*, can spend time “zoning” out and having fun playing board games, computer games, using the Lego wall or Marble Trac board, STEM items, or doing an arts and craft project of their choosing.

*Keep in mind that 6 - 9 year olds must be accompanied by an adult or older sibling.

The “Zone” is open after school, 3:00 until closing, and on Saturdays 9:00 until closing. Summer hours for The “Zone” will start in June.

Summer Hours - the library is now open until 7:30 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. All other hours are the same.

Summer Events and the Summer Reading Program both start on June 3rd. We have LOTS of great programs planned. Check out the marquee, Library website, or stop by the library for a calendar of events.

Answer to Cipher: Each letter is 2 letters to the right of the correct one. See if you can figure it out now. Go head. Grab a piece of paper and give it a try.

If you still need help, drop by or call the library for the answer.
