Fir t-time

Challenging common. no­
tions that marriage is virtually
impo ible past middle-age,
many Blac women are beating
the odds and fmding marital
bliss "First-time Brides After
40."
While me women s y th y
were married to their career ,
or had difficulty flDding te
ith "the right stuff," others
dmit that at middle , they
re fmally ready ... mature d
secure enough with .

realistic outlook OD life in
laalaL" . Br
"You haw a beaa' idea «
SiDce those signs have been
taken down there is no w y you .
can enforce that DOW, because it
is not posted," Watson said. "If
the citizens in certain areas and
residents in that area see those
big trucks on those side streets,
they call us. We can't issue-tick­
ets, but we have warned the
drivers hat they are on the
wrong truck route. Bu the main
problem is that there are no
signs indicating which streets
are designated as street for
trucks.
Once the streets re de ig- .
nated and the. city's engineer
have checked them out to m e
sure heavy trucks are able to
travel them, signs would be put
up, said Wolf.

Secondly, Yarbrough said he
pleading on behalf of the
businesses on Broadway and
Empire, pecificaUy, Betty'S
_ Cleaners, Lady 1" Barber Shop
and th Rib Shack.
"There is far too much loiter­
ing", Yarbrough said nd the
loitering is ca ing these people
to 1 excessive busin ."
"They are a k�g for help -
they deserve it."
Commission George
Wy inger a ked whether the
bu inesses on rh 1 p rticul r
corner (Broadway and Empire)
rc ponsiblc for the crowd hang­
ing out in front of their bus i-
. ness? and "If they are, what are
they suppose to do to remove
them." ,
"You can control wha; goc
on inside your business, but
what happens out there on the
treet , that becomes a police
matter," Wysingcr .aid.
Po tclli aid, ju t like you
hold a tavern owner responsible
for 'what go on ar und hi
bu iness, the other busines
owners are re ponsible for
theirs.
Postelli said if there were
someone loitering out ide a
business, keeping the cus­
tomers from entering or hara ,..
ing them, someone hould call
the police and make out police
report.
Watson id as long' a per­
son is just st nding there and
not bothering anyone they
could "stand there long as
they wanted to".
. Yarbrough said if a crowd
andiag in front of the Vin­
c:cnt P ce and the police were
called, they uldn't be there
They ould be in jail.
Wolf . d that the commis­
ion could go to these b i­
d buy something or get
a hair cut and see '5 go4
• chaDF their ordinance so they
could crack down on some of
the loitering. Watso said he
had a copy of Kalamazoo's or­
dinance so Postelli could take a
look at it
SE 10 CENTER OT OR
. ALE, MAYOR AY
The third issu Yarbrough
id he wanted to bring up is
that, he had several peopl call
him saying th y had heard that
the enior Citizen Center build­
ing was for sale and they wanted
to know how to go about bid­
ding on it.
Wolf said it was not u for
sale becau the Center ti has
seve al more years to go before
th ir lea is up.
The last item Yarbrough had
was concerning a Job Corp rep­
resentative, who previously had
an office in the Vincent Place to
interview youths for Job Corp.
He uld need space for only
one day a month for about 2
hours a for in erviewing youth ,
Yarbrough said.
After the meeting Watson
said when he is In the area of
Broadway and Empire, there is
not anyone loitering around and
he would go on Broadway and
Empire ag in and check it ut.
