Last week ten cameras were installed around town. According to Mayor Shaud Schwarzbach, four cameras were placed in city hall. Two cameras are at the rest area, looking towards the parking area.

There is also a couple of cameras on the city shop. There wasn't any there before--nothing at all. We have a camera on our water fill...
"If I could convey anything to your readership, we are in need of good people. It's a positive place to be. It's a really encouraging and positive place for kids.
