Her 11-year-old son participates in after-school activities that sometimes keep him from walking home until 5 p.m. or so, she said, which worries her since his route takes him beneath the darkened train trestle. We checked it out and noticed that none of the thick glass covers over the lights were broken, which would have been a sign of vandalism, meaning that the fix needed may be as simple as changing some bulbs. STATUS: Toronto Hydro is in charge of most street lighting, but responsibility for lighting in some parks and underpasses is somewhat murkier. So we called both Steve Johnston, who deals with media for the works department, and Tanya Bruckmueller, who does the same thing for Hydro. Bruckmueller called back to say she'd determined Hydro is responsible for lights in the Brock St.

RCMP not keeping members safe, officer's widow says
The widow of a slain RCMP officer is calling for changes in the way the force patrols remote communities in the North, saying her husband would still be alive if a mandatory backup policy had been in place. Jodie Worden is the widow of Const. Christopher Worden.(CBC) "The RCMP as an organization is not doing enough to keep the members safe," said Jodie Worden, whose husband, Const. Christopher Worden, 30, was gunned down in Hay River, N.W.T., last month. "They have no idea the demands and the expectations that are put on regular members up in the North," she told CBC News Thursday. Worden's comments follow the death of Const. Douglas Scott, 20, who was shot and killed earlier this week while responding to a drunk-driving complaint in Kimmirut, Nunavut.

J.C. Price inducts 21 into Hall of Fame
Leon Gaither III played on Salisbury's 1974 championship football team that went 11-2, and he's proud of his son, Mackel, a burly West Rowan lineman who played on an 11-2 team this fall. But Leon Gaither III's father still owns family bragging rights and always will. He played on the undefeated 1940 J.C. Price High team that didn't allow a point. Gaither grew up believing his father's stories about coach Spencer Lancaster's Red Devils were exaggerations. But then he saw the 1940 team's scores in a story the Post did two years ago. "I was glad to find out it wasn't all tall tales," Gaither told a clapping, cheering audience at Price Hall of Fame induction ceremonies held at First Cavalry Baptist Church on Saturday. Price's athletic accomplishments during its run from 1922-1969 as Salisbury's high school for African-American students may sound like fairy tales, but they really happened.
