Seven Crossing Guards Keep Kids Safe At Busy Intersections
A group of seven retirees and one patrol woman staff school crossings in the city. They work four hours daily at busy corners on Central Avenue Garfield Street Verity Parkway Elwood Street and nearby locations. They say uniforms slow traffic and kids remember to watch for cars. The guards enjoy the contact with children and believe the job helps keep them active and vigilant.

Home inspections resume next spring after winter pause
Gall said inspectors will start the home inspections next spring where they left off this year. Inspections were halted by cold weather. Firemen visited 3,460 homes and conducted inspections in 2,425. One thousand one hundred sixty seven residents were not at home, and inspections were refused at 45 homes.
City firemen identify 1225 hazard cases and follow ups
Gall reports 1225 hazard corrections from inspections including improper fuses, extension cords, and overloaded circuits. Unvented gas heaters were found and will be followed up to ensure hazards are corrected. He notes these are life hazards. Only one fire call interrupted an inspection.
