At the Narrows the lake pinches in and the wind funnels through, and in a January storm that is the first stretch to fill with blowing snow. Myers Maintenance & Repairs is out in it, blade down, working drives and walks around the water and back into town until pavement shows again. When the ground thaws, the same trucks return for the growing season — mowing, trimming, edging, the cleanups that bracket summer at both ends. This is maintenance in the truest sense: not one big project but the small right thing done over and over, on schedule. A place looked after that way seldom needs rescuing.
