Now that the snow banks are receding I think it's a good time to remind everyone to put your house numbers out where they're visible from the street. In the event of an emergency it will be much easier to locate you with each house clearly marked.

For those folks who have not heard, I am transferring from Peaks to the Jetport during the first week of April. I will still be working the occasional overtime job here on Peaks, but my new daily assignment will be at the Jetport. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with my colleagues and the Peaks Community. This transfer opportunity doesn't happen very often and I couldn't let it pass by. Should you need to reach me I am available at rumerc@portlandmaine.gov
