Therapy dogs offer comfort to young hospital patients

Dear Doctors: My 8-year-old nephew is in the hospital with kidney problems. He wants to see the therapy dog who visits the kids on his floor, but my sister says no. How do I reassure her that it's safe? I worry about interfering, but I've read that therapy dogs can help kids in the hospital feel better.

Giant tree down

Wednesday’s winds toppled this massive tree in the 500 block of S. 18th Street. The tree fell over on a carport and vehicle, which are hidden among the mass of branches. Tree limbs can be taken to the Public Waste Center at 101 Glenn Smith Rd. and dumped for free. Those unable to dispose of limbs themselves are asked to place limbs on their curb to be picked up by the city. The city asks that no limbs be left in alleyways, as it can become a hazard for city employees and emergency services and that citizens are patient as cleanup efforts continue. CDN
