Staff morale, community spirit being lifted by ‘FD & PD prank wars’

Just in case you haven’t heard yet, the Hamilton Police Department and the Hamilton Fire Department are engaging in a “prank war.” See our editorial on page 4. Left: The first cut is the deepest. HFD personnel found a “Thin Blue Line” flag on their flag pole in the middle of the night. Top: At one point, a Hamilton Fire & Rescue Station No. 2 sign was placed at the Hamilton Police Department.

When the Journal-Record staff learned of the recent “prank wars” being conducted by the Hamilton Fire Department and the Hamilton Police Department, we first off—found them very funny, followed by feeling proud, thrilled, entertained and encouraged by their skills and ingenuity. We felt this type of good-natured kidding around was good for not only staff morale and stress relief for both departments, but also for lifting community spirit.

The Great Christmas Sweater Gala was a fun-time fundraiser

We attend many, many meetings. We attend far fewer Christmas parties. Yet... we couldn’t resist supporting Kids for Life and their recent fundraiser, “The Great Christmas Sweater Gala.” Promoted was “Dress Tacky, Give Generously, Celebrate Kids for Life.” What’s not to love about a chance to dress tacky and support a good cause?
Kids for Life IS the support organization for all things related to foster care in Marion County. Currently, there are 48 children in foster care here, although there are only 12 licensed homes in the county.
