Hello, neighbors! It's me again, Karena Garrity, your host of the The Haddams-Killingworth Daily.

First, today's weather:

A heavy t-storm in the p.m.. High: 74 Low: 58.

Here are the top four stories today in The Haddams-Killingworth:

1. Two new properties came on the market in the Haddams-Killingworth area. Are you looking to move or buy a home? (The Haddams-Killingworth Patch)
2. The Haddam Volunteer Ambulance Services is hiring. It is putting out a call to area EMRs and EMTs to join the team of professionals. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about the career opportunities currently being offered, contact The Haddam Volunteer Ambulance Services soon. (Facebook)
3. The overseers for the Thirty Mile Island Plantation Burial Yard decided that after more than 100 years it was time to give the old wrought iron fence around the Arnold/Brainerd plot a facelift. With the help of the Cassidy Brothers Forge in Rowley, Massachusetts who reportedly spent upwards of 180 hours restoring the wrought iron fence at their Massachusetts facility and then installed the fence in the cemetery. If you are at the cemetery, take a look at the new fence and admire the craftsmanship and man-hours that went into creating this piece of art. (HK Now)
4. The subtle etiquette of lawn mowing. Patch took a survey and readers responded about the dos and don'ts of mowing your lawn in suburban America. What time is too early? What time is too late and are weekends off-limits? Read what readers said. (Patch)
