Chief s Corner Ban on texting while driving: House Bill 62 took effect on September 1 and prohibits drivers on public roads from using a wireless communication device (mobile phone) to read, write or send an electronic message while operating a motor vehicle unless the vehicle is stopped. The ban only includes text messaging. It does not include other usage such as internet, GPS for navigation or music programs. Reminder: When approaching an emergency vehicle stopped on the roadway with emergency lights flashing, you are required to do one of these two things: move out of the lane nearest to the emergency vehicle or slow down to 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit (down to a minimum of 5 mph). In our community, slow down to a minimum speed. Emergency vehicles include police, emergency medical services and fire vehicles. Please allow the emergency workers a safe work space when they re on or near the road. BPOA and Briarcliff Police Department will celebrate National Night Out on Saturday, November 4. Please join us for refreshments and a day of fellowship! L.J. De Lira Briarcliff Police Department Mayor s Minutes This is the time of year to trim oak trees (until February 1). However, you must treat the cuts immediately. That doesn t mean later in the day, it means immediately. Let s all work hard to keep oak wilt from spreading in Briarcliff. Besides being the right thing to do, there are fines if not done properly. Al Hostetler Mayor of Briarcliff Briarcliff Bulletin October
