City of Toledo issued the Cool & Connected draft document to all workshop attendees for review on Monday. Action Priorities bear a “First 100 Days” push for completion as well.

Vision:Toledo Arts, Rec and Events meets 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, December 20, 2016 at the Morgan Arts Centre to cover this and other committee progress reports.

All welcome to listen, contribute and get involved. Visit www.morganartscentre.com or call (360)864-4ART.

Yesterday an incredible thing happened - 911 hung up when the caller, who felt threatened by a stranger knocking on the door (second time), fell silent while hiding to avoid giving away their position.

April 2 this year, I found myself unable to call 911 because restricted breathing rendered me incapable - an issue overlooked by Text To 911 advocates, valid nonetheless.

My New Year's resolution comes early in announcing a campaign to implement this critical avenue to emergency services in Lewis County sooner than later.

Updates to follow.
