SCHOOL OPENS TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 2012  Port Washington School District website: http://www.portnet.k12.ny.us AAA School's Open Fact Sheet The majority of child pedestrian fatalities occur at non-intersections. Contributing factors include a child's tendency to dart into the street without looking for oncoming traffic and little instruction for children on the right way to cross the street. Tip Line Targets Illegal Guns  New York State now has a toll-free, anonymous hotline – 1-855-GUNS-NYS (1-855-486-7697) – designed to get illegal guns off the streets. Staffed 24-hours a day, the hotline is the place to call with information that will help authorities identify and investigate individuals who are carrying illegal firearms. Callers will remain anonymous; if a tip leads to someone being arrested for illegal firearm possession, the caller who provided the lead will receive $500. -------- BICYCLE SAFETY The Board of Commissioners and Chief Kilfoil of the Port Washington Police District continue to be proactive in their approach to bikes and wheel sport safety.
