Hometown Heros: The town council recognized Public Works employees Jim Cessna and Austin Gilchrist after they helped rescue someone who had fallen in the water. A girl had fallen off a boat and was injured by the propeller; the two men were nearby and helped get her out. They made a tourniquet to stem bleeding and made sure she got to the hospital. Mayor Tracey Gore visited the family in the hospital Sunday; their doctor told Gore that the first aid rendered by the two men helped save the girl’s life.
Attorney, Again: After council requesting legal services go back out for bids again this year, council members will spend Monday, Aug. 20 interviewing five representatives of the firms who applied. The council currently retains Jack Peterson and Jim Turner of Peterson Law Group, which reapplied this time around too. Members will spend 9 a.m.to about 3 p.m.in one-on-one interviews, then reconvene together in the Chambers for a joint interview. The joint interview session will be open to the public.
