Address numbers must be posted
Posted Wednesday, August 18, at 9:59 AM
Cassville property owners are reminded that they must post visible address numbers on their structures to ensure emergency responders can locate them.
"When a citizen calls for an emergency response -- for fire, health, safety or utility -- time is of the essence," said Mayor Tracy Holle. "Our first responders, officers and public workers often waste valuable time searching for a house or building number. Being able to find a location quickly can literally mean life or death to the person having the emergency." Barry County E-911 and Cassville city ordinances require numbers on all houses and businesses. Property owners will be given a grace period until Nov. 1 to post numbers before compliance letters will be distributed. Numbers can be purchased at local building and hardware stores. Numbers must be at least three inches tall, in contrast to the background of the structure, reflective to enhance night visibility and visible from the street in front of the building.

Heating, Air Conditioning and...(the often forgotten, but important)...Ventilation "They don't build 'em like they used to" is an understatement when it comes to modern day buildings.

Lessons Learned If you had me as an elementary teacher, then you probably remember the phrase, "This is a life lesson." I often used that to draw my students' attention. This usually got their attention, because they knew a story was to follow and that probably meant no assignment for that particular subject. Little did they realize at the time I was giving them an assignment to study and analyze the effect of their judgment...
