Abruptly a driver's reverie is jolted by the green plywood and white-lettered sign at the end of Glenn Meyer's driveway. "Warning," it reads. "A Violent Felon Lives Here. Travel at Your Own Risk." The sign is a condition of the probation sentence given to Meyer, a 62-year-old farmer, for having bashed another farmer in the face with a truck fuel pump. The Pittsfield, Illinois judge intended the sign to alert people about Meyer's dangerous streak and to shame him into behaving. But Meyer is unrepentant.

How to Obtain FAX Copies of Requested Documents
Recognizing that residents of the Three Village Central School District may want copies of the most recent -- or perhaps, previously -- published documents, we now supply them. Clearly, we have an ulterior motive. It is our hope that you will invest as little as $3.00 for 100 plain white copies, at a local Staples or Office Max facility, and distribute them where and when most convenient for yourself. With there being 23,000 registered voters in our district, we could use a little help.
