Strong communities are supported by the institutions that serve them. All of us — neighborhood members, families and children — have the responsibility to use these institutions to learn more about ourselves and our history. This is the clear message beautifully delivered in the recently released children’s book, Friends and Neighbors, by the award-winning author/photographer team of Kenneth Cole and John Ruebartsch.

Pedestrial Problems
On Sunday October 2, Ross Bigley left the Brady Street Pharmacy at 7:30 pm. He had already walked halfway across Brady Street and was waiting for the westbound motorist to stop to let him cross the rest of the way when he was hit from behind by an eastbound motorist. The blow knocked him to the ground, and the rear tire of the vehicle drove over his ankle, breaking it in two places. The driver did not stop. The following day, a boy on a bicycle was struck by a motorist at the same intersection. This is the same corner where Mary Glorioso was killed a year and a half ago.
