Why Lawrence Lacks a YMCA and Radar Questions Rise
A reader asks why Lawrence lacks a local YMCA. Lin McRoberts says communities must start the process themselves with local leaders and offers a 1-800- YMCA number for a get-started kit. The radar question notes police may legally run checks from a private driveway when invited by the owner. Sharp Electronics contact details are provided for Ne Sharp Electronics in Mahwah, New Jersey.
