How To Report A Crime
If you observe any of the
suspicious activities de
scribed above, call 911 im
mediately. The longer you
wait to call the police, the
greater the chances are
that the suspect will get
away.
Here are some guidelines
to follow:
1. When the 911-Emer
gency Operator: answers,
say, “I’m calling in re
ference to a possible....,”
and name the type of crime
you suspect. You need not
go into detail at this
point ,
2. Giya your name and
location. If you don’t know
the block number, give the
closest cross street or in
tersection.
3. Stand by -to answer
further questions, if neces
sary. The 911-Emergency
Operator is trained,.to get
lie necessary information

Micah Won’t
See This Story
..Micah won’t see this
story about him. At birth
his eye nerves were dam
aged, and be may never
have useful sight. Brain1
damage affected his mus
cle control, so that without
medication, his arms or
legs may stiffen, limiting
normal progress of crawl
ing, walking or using his
hands.
In his first year of life, he
received little special care
of therapy. Then he entered
foster care where an ex
perienced foster parent
took on the challenge. In
his second year be began to
show slow, but important
progress. He now receives
medications to relax his
muscles and to help him
sleep normally. He
responds to sound and to
being touched, grins and
shows pleasure (instead of
crying all the time).
His physical develop
ment is progressing well,
and his foster mother be
lieves he is more aware of
things around him than
he’s able to show. Once
he gains a skill, such as
relaxing his arm and
touching his hands to
gether, he masters it and
repeats it. He now has
better control of his left
hand, and is getting control
of his arm muscles.
Micah would certainly
benefit from having a per
manent family. If you
find satisfaction in taking
on challenges with many
unknowns, and might con
