Dear Editor,

Do you ever notice street lights out or blinking in your neighborhood or during your walks? Aside from making your walk more hazardous that darkness could also be more inviting to those who believe what's yours should be theirs for the taking.

You can easily help! Write down the POLE NUMBER (usually located on a yellow metal plate attached to the pole about 6-7 feet off the ground) and the NEAREST CROSS STREETS. If you have internet access log onto http://www.mypowerop- tions.com/lightsout/?pc=p and enter that information along with your contact information in the blanks provided. No internet ac- cess? Call Customer Service toll-free at 1 (888) 221-7070 or City Hall can take the in- formation you collected and make the report for you.

Take a few minutes to report those blinking or non- functioning street lights. It will help make our little corner of the world brighter and safer.
