To report on fire activity?

Dear Editor:

Please consider adding a regular feature to your paper which lists all of the fire department’s activities (fires and rescues) as you do with the crime activity for the police. We would like to know how valuable to us our fire departments are.

Publisher’s Note:  The police report is intended to help our readers and business advertisers know about certain criminal activities going on in our area, so they can better protect themselves. There is no similar public benefit in reporting the fire/paramedic activity; and certain privacy issues would also need to be taken into account.


Century Village Bus Drivers

Dear Editor:

I have been reading a little discussion going on in Century Village Insider between Kathy Richards (Observer) and Louis Herring (Quality Transport), the van company that Century Village just contracted with. Mr. Herring is a very nice, soft spoken man with an English accent, but he is very unaware of what transpires on the routes. The drivers are having personal conversations on their cell phones while driving; they eat while driving; they write on their statistic boards while driving … I have witnessed it all firsthand!

Very sincerely,

Roslyn Nehls
