To the Editor:

I’ve been pretty outspoken about pedestrian safety in Davidson over the past few months. (See Dec. 26, 2011, “Pedestrian safety, through the eyes of an obssessive walker”) But I want to report that I’m finding pedestrian safety along Griffith St., between Watson St. and the new convenience store/gas station, is surprisingly safe. I have been walking from Armour St. (along Watson) and crossing Griffith, heading toward Snap Fitness, for three months now and have never had a close call. Read the full story

Health and wellness have long been important to Jan Riebe, but it wasn’t until four years ago that a career change gave her the chance to get hands-on. Six months ago she went out on her own, opening Gateway Therapeutic Massage on Davidson Gateway Drive. Read more about her on HEALTH & FITNESS»

Someone knocked over a candle during a domestic dispute at an Exit 30 area residence Thursday night, bringing a call for firefighters to help Davidson police with ensuring that the fire was adequately extinguished. One suspect was arrested in connection with the incident. Firefighters also helped Charlotte-Mecklenburg and Huntersville police officers access the “black box” of a vehicle that had been involved in a collision earlier Thursday. Hydraulic tools were used to remove the vehicle’s passenger seat while it was parked at Archer’s Towing.

Also this week, emergency personnel managed a fuel spill from a transit bus and investigated a fire alarm activation caused by a cleaning crew on Davidson Gateway Drive. Details on these incidents and a tally of the week’s medical calls may be found below. Read the full story
