COVINGTON DEPARTMENT REVIEWS BEGIN IN FIRE DEPARTMENT
From Mike Rutledge:
Through Wednesday, the visitors had been at fire stations on six days. Prior to their arrival at fire and police offices, “they sent us a list of information that they wanted to see beforehand,” Norris said. “And we sent them stacks of statistics and information about the department – the equipment, the manning, the personnel, for their review before they arrived here.”Every department within the City will undergo this review as part of Mayor Chuck Scheper's 10-point plan.
“There’s a lot of interviewing that’s taking place,” Scheper said, noting the safety departments’ operations are being compared with counterparts elsewhere.

Yikes:
Perhaps the most dramatic CDC ad depicts the morning routine of a 51-year-old woman named Terrie. The throat cancer survivor's rituals include putting in her teeth, donning a wig, and installing an electrolarynx that gives her a harsh, synthetic voice she uses to utter: "Now you're ready for the day."
