Editor's Note - November 2014

Buzz photo shoots are always special, as we get to meet neighbors in their homes or somewhere meaningful to them. But for this month’s shoot, we drove to Brookwood Community, which provides educational and vocational opportunities for adults with disabilities. The experience was unforgettable. Cheryl Ursin’s article and Mike Hart’s images beautifully capture this special place. I encourage readers to have lunch there and experience it personally. This month we also had a photo shoot with Buzz-neighborhood police chiefs Byron Holloway, Ken Walker and J.D. Sanders. Chief Sanders told me after the shoot that I was a prime target of criminals, being a “small-build woman” who is easily distracted. He proceeded to give me tons of great tips. But I am embarrassed to admit I did not hear a word. I was just so elated and kept repeating to myself, “He thinks I’m small build!” So thank goodness we have Andria Frankfort’s safety article to share tips with readers. Wishing all of you a safe start to the holidays. [email protected]
