special
day
be
set
aside

observed

the
planting
of
more
than
a

can
reduce
erosion
of
our
precious
topsoil
by

A
C
Folks,
I
want
to
thank
you
guys,
all
for
being
here
today.
We're
not
going
to
take
very
long
here,
but
I
think
it's
appropriate
to
say
a
little
bit
of
a
prayer
and
if
you'll
join
me
we're
going
to
say
a
prayer
here.
Lord
on
this
day,
we
call
to
mind
those
that
have
died
or
suffered
injury
at
the
work
place
of
work.
We
remember
the
unrealized
potential
of
young
people
whose
lives
have
been
ended
suddenly
or
whose
potential
has
been
blyden
by
the
injury.
C
We
remember
those
elderly
coming
to
the
end
of
their
lives
in
pain
and
discomfort
through
the
result
of
their
labors
Lord.
On
this
day,
we
sympathize
with
the
families
and
friends
who
have
died
as
a
result
of
their
labor.
We
pledge
our
support
for
those
who
have
nurse
or
otherwise
care
for
those
injured
at
work.
C
We
share
in
their
sadness,
anger
and
frustration
and
when
it
appears,
company
profits
have
been
put
before
workers
death,
and
on
this
day
we
pray
that
throughout
the
world
in
industry,
commerce
or
trade
all
will
work
together
to
campaign
for
safer
working
environments
for
all
people,
in
honor
of
the
sacred
memory
of
those
who
have
died
or
suffered
injury
in
their
place
of
work.
On
this
day,
we
honor
the
dead,
but
vow
to
fight
for
the
living
amen.

A
Activity
report
for
the
week
of
March
19th
has
become
available.
Notable
numbers
include
440
parking
citations
for
the
week
with
more
than
half
of
the
citations
being
for
meter
violations.
This
brings
the
yearly
total
to
2613.
As
the
weather
warms
up
in
fest
season
begins.
Service
calls
regarding
parties
and
intoxications
have
gone
up
with
Milliron
and
mill
fest
happening
over
the
weekend
covered
in
the
report.
A
There
were
25
calls
for
nuisance
parties
bringing
the
year-to-date
total
to
45,
and
there
were
17
noise
complaints
with
the
total
for
the
year
being,
119
calls
reporting
intoxication,
went
from
12
the
previous
week
to
16
the
week
of
March
19th.
This
is
a
huge
jump
from
only
two
intoxications
only
two
weeks
prior
also,
perhaps
as
a
result
of
the
fest's.
There
were
62
trash
code
citations
in
one
week
from
only
23
the
week
before.
