Ice Is Beautiful But Can Be Deadly

Talk to your kids.

Conditions and unseen or unknown factors can render seemingly safe ice suddenly dangerous. This is just a few examples out of multiple others that show the danger:

A Warning to Pups and People: Keep your Paws off the Ice

Santa Comes to Cedar Vale
By Freda Walker Speer December 22, 2010
Santa was in Cedar Vale today to help all the volunteers with the Angel Tree. Cedar Vale can be so proud of the amount of support that was given for our families in need, from the organizations to the individuals who donated for this great cause. No Angel was left behind. Big Thanks to the guys and girls at City Hall, Police Chief Wayne Cline and the Fire Dept. Special thanks to Santa for taking time to help us out. It was a fun time!
Cedar Vale can be so proud of everyone who gave and helped. City hall was full of wonderful gifts for our angels, I had the pleasure of shopping for six families for food boxes for the fire department, each family also received a smoke alarm for their home in those food boxes. I am also proud that we were able to shop local for all the food purchased. Thank you Donny!
