Bench designed to memorialize AIDS
The city of Laguna Beach HIV Advisory Committee will dedicate a
park bench as the city’s memorial to the AIDS pandemic.
The bench will overlook the beach in the 100 block of Mountain
Street and include a bronze plaque reading “In memory of those who
lost their lives and those who may lose their lives to AIDS.”
Committee co-chair Joseph Amster said the bench will provide a
place to reflect on the toll of AIDS, as well as a reminder that the
AIDS is still a worldwide problem.
Another project of the committee is an AIDS awareness pamphlet
created by Laguna Beach High School students. The group works with
local bar and nightclub owners to ensure safe-sex kits are available
to patrons.
The committee meets at 4 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month
at the Laguna Beach City Hall, 505 Forest Ave. Information: 497-3311.
Change your clocks, batteries and water
Daylight savings will begin Sunday, and the Laguna Beach Fire
Department suggests changing the batteries in your smoke alarms as
you set your clocks forward, and again when setting clocks back in
the fall.
The majority of residential fires occur between the late evening
hours and 6 a.m., and early detection is the key to survival, veteran
fire engineer Jeff Priest said. He also encourages the community to
replenish its emergency water supply and review disaster/emergency
preparedness plans as part of the same twice-a-year regimen.
