School is back in session and for many people around town that means getting used to buses being back out on the roads.

The police department has already received complaints and reports of people passing the school buses while stopped. This problem seems especially evident at the intersection by Kersten Auto.

Police are asking the public to please be aware that it is dangerous to pass a school bus in the process of stopping or already stopped. A bus that is stopping with first flash yellow lights.

They insist drivers slow down to a complete stop when seeing the lights. Do not try to beat the school bus stop arm.

Passing a school bus that has its stop arm out carries a fine of $500. These fines are hefty because young students lives are at risk.

Police as to please stop and give the kids a chance to get on and off the busses safely.

Scam
Police have also had multiple reports of scams involving Social Security.

Scam artists can be very convincing and know how to sound official. The Social Security Administration and the IRS will never call and ask for your personal information.

The police department guarantee that a phone call from Social Security or the IRS is a scam. They ask to please make sure never to give information over the phone to anyone.

Missing Chair
A chair was reported missing from the fairgrounds during the Fair entertainment. The chair has been described to police as a black chair with a Pittsburgh Steelers emblem on it.

Accidents happen, police are asking the chair be returned to the Community Center or to Bryan’s house at 307 E. Elm Street and no questions will be asked.
