***Just a quick note. It appears that residential and auto burglaries are on the up swing. Lock up what stuff you want to keep. Share the info with the new neighbors and steer them here so they are aware of the goings on in town. Better forewarned than to become relaxed and drop your guard becoming the next victim of a burglary.
