addition this year.
Snowflake ornaments
with the names of those
who have passed away this
past year will also adorn
the tree.
A fter cerem o n y in
which those names have
been read in their memory,
a special string of lights,
probably clear or white,
will be lit to keep their
m em ories b urning this
holiday season.
“ We know that grief
is d iffic u lt, esp ecially
during the holidays, when
people normally spend time
together as families,” says
Di Salvo. “We just want to
help the process for those
who are grieving during the
holidays.”
While the home health
and hospice program will
accept donations from those
who wish to make them.
Di Salvo and Disque say
no donation is necessary

off that to honor people in
our own area. We wanted to
do something more local.”
“It’s just nice to know
it’s for here.” she adds. “We
wanted to do something
special for the area we
serve.”
Disque also mentions
that the home health and
hospice did som ething
similar several years ago
but that it didn’t catch on.
She and Di Salvo agree
that they would like to
continue from this point
and make Lights of Hope a
yearly event.
“ We want to keep it
simple and yet something
people can remember. We
just hope to continue this
tradition,” Di Salvo says.
Also, though the Lights
o f Hope is represented
m ostly by the hospice
program this year, they say
they would like to branch
out and include others who
have lost friends and family
members.

CITY COUNCIL
DISCUSSES LIEN
Healy as an authorized
check signer and add the
public works director Chad
Doherty as a check signer.
All city checks need to be
signed by two city officials.
In other business the
council agreed that city hall
will be closed on Dec. 24,
Christmas Eve day. As with
all holidays, public works
will be on call.
The council heard an
update from Cutsforth on
city construction projects,
and she said the Barratt
Blvd. project is completed,
with the handrails being
installed and the last of
the landscaping complete.
She said the sidewalks and
paving are complete on
Elder, Quaid and Center
streets and the chip seal
on Hager will be done this
spring.
The council also heard
a report from Doherty, who
said the city had to replace
a 20-foot section of sewer
line on Willow Drive that
included in the ceremony
and on the tree, nor does
the person who requested
the remembrance need to
be present at the ceremony.
Disque says the idea
came from a similar, more
w id esp read , cam paign
that helps raise funds for
hospice programs.
“There’s a Light Up
A Life campaign they’ve
been doing for many years,
but its more of a national
thing,” she says. “(Lights
of Hope) is kind of based
had filled with roots to
the point that the line had
become plugged. Doherty
a lso re p o rte d he had
been reminding people to
insulate their water meters.
He said one of the best ways
to do it is take some regular
R ll insulation available at
the hardware store, put it in
a plastic bag and place the
bag over the water meter.
“ D on’t use packing
p e a n u ts (th o s e w h ite
Styrofoam pellets used in
packing),” he said. “They
make a big mess.”
Doherty told the council
public works was also in the
process o f moving some
“good dirt” from the Sperry
Street project over to Hager
Park to use to even out
around the sidewalk, and
also make for better soil for
the lawn.
It was also reported
that the city hired a new
p art-tim e public works
person. There w ere 11
“good applications,” it was
reported.
