A few dates Hastings residents should know

Fall and winter bump into each other for Hastings residents this week, with leaves still falling and snow in the forecast. Here are a few dates to keep in mind:

 

Daylight savings time ends Sunday Nov. 5, remember to turn clocks back one hour Saturday night.

 

Leaf pickup will begin Monday, Nov. 6, starting in the second ward on the east side of South Hanover. Public Services Director Lee Hays said daily notices of where the crews are and will be the next day will be on the WBCH and city websites.

 

The annual winter season parking ban for snow removal on city streets between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. started Nov 1, with officers giving out 90 “courtesy” tickets, which will soon turn into citations that carry a five dollar fine. Police Chief Jeff Pratt said the 90 reminder tickets is about normal for the first day of the ban.

 

Looking forward to next summer, Aug. 18 is the date of the second Night Out, which features the county’s emergency services personnel. Hastings Deputy Chief Dale Boulter said he will enlist help from the Michigan State Police, Barry County Sheriff’s Office, county fire departments, and ambulance services in planning for next year, which will start in January.

The first Night Out last year was “a great success,” and he anticipates another well-attended community event next year.
