Out past the last streetlight the township is corn stubble and woodlot, and in winter the wind crosses it with nothing at all in the way. Zalenski Outdoor Services LLC plows those exposed drives and clears the walks behind them, working the hours when the drifting is at its worst. In the warm half of the year those same roads get mowing, trimming and cleanups at both ends of the season. A long lane opened clean to the road at four in the morning is a particular kind of relief. So is the first cut of May, when everything smells like cut stems and rain.
