The program will begin on Nov. 13, and will be available to cancer survivors in the Polk County community, Mondays through Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Classes are offered at no charge for the 12-week session. As part of Livestrong at the Y, employees will engage cancer survivors through an approach that focuses on the whole person. Participants work with trained Y staff to build muscle mass and strength, flexibility and endurance, and improve functional ability. In addition to physical benefits, the program focuses on the emotional well-being of survivors by providing a supportive community environment where people affected by cancer can connect during treatment and beyond. The program is a collaboration between the YMCA of the USA, the national resource office for the Y, and the Livestrong Foundation.

By Jolene Guzman The Itemizer-Observer DALLAS — The last two industrial sites along South- east Godsey Road and Hol- man Avenue near the Amer- ican Gas & Technology site in Dallas are up for auction on Nov. 15. “These two parcels are t h e re m a i n i n g u n s o l d properties of the seller’s original industrial portfolio in Dallas,” said John Rosen- thal, the president of Realty Marketing/Nor thwest, which will conduct the auction. The properties are part of the firm’s fall sale. Rosenthal said the prop- erties are priced at a signifi- cantly reduced rate from the last asking. “These are as low a price on industrial land that I have seen,” Rosenthal said last week. The owners would like to sell the properties by the end of the year, Rosenthal said. The property off Holman Avenue is 18.08 acres, with access to rail service. It’s priced at $145,000, down from $315,800. Ash Creek winds along the southern Polk No. 1 teaches fire prevention MONMOUTH/INDEPENDENCE — Polk County Fire District No. 1 personnel conducted fire prevention presentations throughout Monmouth and Independence during the month of October. This year, Polk County Fire District members conducted many fire safety presentations to 370 students in the Mon- mouth and Independence area to help teach fire prevention and what to do in case a fire begins to break out. Presentations were made at Ash Creek, Independence and Monmouth elementary schools, focusing on kindergarten stu- dents through second-graders. Presentations were also given to a variety of day care, pre- school and private schools. Some of the topics the students learned about were: • How Firefighters put on their protective clothing and SCBA’s • Tools and equipment carried on fire engines • Stop, Drop and Roll • Check doors for heat • Never breathe smoke • The importance of home evacuation plans and having a family meeting place For more information on fire safety: polkno1.org.
