•fc i CAGE II - PLAINDE ALER - FRIDAY. JANUARY M. tttl Ringwood News Karen Kirwan Bazilewich 653-9626 Calling This "Home" Again Peggy Pattinson can call Ringwood her home again since her family moved here in October, 1980, from Harvard. As a child Peggy lived with her family on one of the J?pson farms, down on Ringwood road. Later, they lived on another Jepson farm, now owned by Pat and. Ted Male 01* Richmond road. Hie home that Peggy and her husband now live in, is very familiar because it was owned by Peggy's grand­ parents. Byron and Lucille Sawers. The Sawers pur­ chased the home almost twenty years ago in an­ ticipation of their retirement. It has been in the family ever since. For those of you who know Byron and Lucille Sawers, Peggy says they are both doing fine and are staying in Hebron, 111. with family. Peggy's husband's name is Ted and they have three lovely children: Shannon who is seven years old, Jamie, three years old and Travis, just five months. Peggy is a delight to know and meet; her children keep her very busy, but she says she'd like to get out more and meet the neighbors. We welcome you all to Ringwood COMMUNITY ACTION? TTie first and last thing I probably should have never mentioned was that Ringwood should have a community club of some sort. Doris Low told me how at one time Ringwood boasted quite a nice little neighborhood club and feels we could benefit from one again. I'm not sure just what we would do, but that is something we could work on. I'm going to mention this a couple more times in our column and maybe by spring we can realize our first meeting. If you thinlu it'A.*- good idea, let me know. FLU HITS RINGWOOD This is one flu that found Ringwood and almost everyone I talked to has had it, or someone in the family has.

Urge Clean Sidewalks For Postal Carriers Light For Play Children's clothcs should be made of li|htweight but sturdy, durable fabric. Heavy, bulky clothes are awkward to handle, and the exfess weight tires a child at play Ice covered sidewalks and steps were the cause of in­ jury to literally thousands of postal service employees last year, according to Postmaster Leroy Smith. "More than 16,000 postal workers across the nation were hurt when they fell or lost their balance," Smith said, "and ice and snow was the primary cause of those accidents." "We do everything possible to deliver the mail regardless of how bad the weather becomes", he continued, "but we want to remind customers again that snow and ice on steps and sidewalks has to be removed where carriers must walk." Postmaster Smith said he realizes it's not always eaay to remove ice and snow, but carriers are not required to risk personal injury from unusual hazards to deliver the mail. To allow a carrier to drive up to a curbsitfe maflhoe to deposit or collect mall without leaving his or her vehicle, rural or curbslde boxes should be kept clear of snow, vehicles or other obstructions.
