EVERYONE CAN HELP It isn’t news to anyone in this area that the past week end clearh displayed Mother Nature's ability to displav the true form of winter on our area. Lor the past three winters we have had at least one bad storm which reaches "blizzard conditions" according to the United States Weather Bureau Whatever (hex call it. it is bad news and certainly a great inconxcnience to all. This scar's first real taste of this type of weather certainly didn't dump the amount of snow on our immediate area that we witnessed last year and the drifting and completely clogging up of roads, both rural and in the (owns, didn't occur as bad as in recent years. However, this is still only the middle of January and more max come of serious nature. There isn't much one can do about it other than be prepared and make the best of it when it happens. How ex er. there is a few things that are ven basic that we can do to possibly help protect ourselves as well as others. One important item is the fire hydrants. If you live near a fire hydrant and you or someone is doing some digging out on your property or in vour neighborhood, don't forget that all-important area around the fire hvdrant. Even thinking of a fire at times when the temperatures are below zero is bad enough let alone thinking about the same when the firemen would not have easy access to the fire hydrant should such an emergency exist. It isn't intentional that snow plows help hide the hydrants, it simplv is something that can't be avoided, but it also only would take a few minutes to dig out around the hydrants so they are visible and access to them available if needed. This is also true of other situations. Any emergency vehicle, a fire truck, an ambulance, a police car. etc., can only go where other vehicles also travel. The careless parking or abandoning of vehicles can really cause problems, especially where passage is narrow or close. The access made possible could be a life or property saving difference in case of an emergency It is difficult for everyone to dig out everything as this is more than physically possible for many people and certainly not easy for anyone. However, especially in areas where sickness or failing health is already a problem, such an effort could make a difference. It is believed that most people, after the 1978 blizzard, will pretty well be supplied with the essentials of life as far as food, medicine, fuel. etc., are concerned. But this list can be only part of the story if carelessness or disreagard for other facets such as those mentioned above is present. It is a lot easier for a lot of people to do a little than for a few people to do a lot. You can be a big help if you only will. R^rbmember^W WHEN...^>y
