Chief Joseph Elias presented Amber Dousi and Alexis Lockett with Citizen Life Saving Awards in recognition of their swift, decisive, and courageous actions on March 22, 2021 that resulted in saving the life of a fellow citizen on the Reeceville Road overpass at U.S. Route 30. The women observed a despondent young man standing on the bridge, looking over the railing, and then lifting his leg as if he was going to jump. They recognized imminent danger and then selflessly, without concern for their own safety, stopped, grabbed the man, and placed him in their vehicle until police arrived. Coincidentally, the responding officer, Officer Joseph Carboni, saved a young woman from a similar fate at the same location three months earlier.
 Coatesville Area Public Library is happy to host a safe and fun “grab and go” event to be held outdoors in the library’s courtyard. The 3-day event will take place April 23 through April 25 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. The event will be held rain or shine.
Volunteers have been working hard to pre-package books into sturdy tote bags. The cost of a bag, loaded with books, is $10. Books have been assembled by genre so those attending the event can quickly pick up a bag in a category that interests them (i.e. Mystery, Young Adult, Children, etc.) and make their purchase. No handling of individual books is necessary. Mask wearing and social distancing will be in place with a limited amount of people permitted in the gated courtyard at a time. Additionally, raffle tickets will be on sale as well. This year’s spring raffle has been streamlined with ONE very sought-after prize, a signed copy of Barack Obama’s latest book “A Promised Land”. Raffle tickets are $5.00. The library is located at 501 E. Lincoln Highway, Coatesville. Sealed proposals will be received by the Board of Commissioners of Caln Township, 253 Municipal Dr., Thorndale, PA until 1:00PM on Wednesday, March 31, 2021 and will be opened on this same date at the Caln Township Building at the same time for the following:
