 and welcome to This Weekend Laumont for Friday, October 9, 2020. I'm your host, Sergio Angelis. Let's get to it. Get a free book for your four-year-old. The Colorado State Library conducts an annual statewide book giveaway to put a new book in the hands of every four-year-old child. Stop by the children's and teen services desk or the curbside delivery table at the Laumont Public Library, located at 409 Fourth Avenue. Between October 13 and 25, to pick up a free one-book Colorado picture book, books are available in English and Spanish, and the giveaway will continue while supplies last. Activists and allies, a virtual panel discussion. Join this lively conversation between two senior university professors at 7.30 PM on Thursday, October 15. They will compare notes on their journeys of activism, helping others make sense of the long history of slavery and segregation in the US. This program will be livestreamed on the museum's Facebook page, on LaumontPublicMedia.org, and on local Comcast channel 880. Volunteer for police review panel. The city manager of the city of Laumont is accepting applications for five volunteer positions on the Laumont Police Department Professional Standards Review Panel. This group reviews highly confidential information, including internal investigations and allegations of misconduct and makes findings to the chief of police. Panel members must be able to read and comprehend large investigations and must be registered to vote in the city of Laumont. Applicants with misdemeanor convictions in the past five years or any felony conviction will not be considered. Current employees of any law enforcement agency, as well as immediate family members of Laumont Police Department employees, are not eligible. Please visit bit.ly.com or call 303-651-8694 for an application and more information. The application deadline is 5 PM on Friday, October 23. Don't trash your leaves. Compost. After you're finished playing in the leaves, bag them up for a collection instead of putting them in the trash can. Curbside leaf collection begins November 2, and collected leaves are composted. Visit bit.ly.com or call 303-651-8416 to find your pick-up date. Maintain your trees and shrubs. Public sidewalks, streets, and alleys must be kept clear of low-hanging tree branches and overgrown vegetation that impede pedestrians or vehicles. There must be a minimum of 8 feet of vertical clearance over sidewalks and 15 feet of clearance over streets and alleys. Shrubs and other vegetation must be maintained so that the entire width of the sidewalk is clear, and vegetation and alleys should provide adequate access for waste collection vehicles. Please use a locally licensed tree contractor to remove larger tree limbs. You can take tree limbs and other yardways to the Waste Diversion Center at 140 Martin Street at no cost.
