Two new police officers were sworn in to protect the streets at the Fountain Hill Workshop on March 18. Newly decorated Larissa Reggetto and Steven Fritzinger were joined by family and friends to the swearing in ceremony, officiated by Mayor Jose Rosado, and have finally ended their days of training to serve their community.
Shortly after the ceremony, Sean P. Shamany, treasurer and secretary of the Northeast Revenue Service Municipal Collections, stood before council to present his company in hopes of servicing Fountain Hill in collecting delinquent fees. Though his position was well presented, the council seemed satisfied enough with their present fee collecting system and made no outward attempts to accept Shamany's offer.
Though Shamany may be out of luck, at least there will be baseball from April to September for the Fountain Hill Maroons after the council unanimously passed the motion to open the field this season. Council President Lawrence Rapp closed the discussion by revealing his experience with America's pastime, "I played shortstop."
