Our Julie Lonchich spoke to
those two officers tonight.
***PKG***
35:50 the solutions to problems
is not black and white
Especially when the very problem
itself is an overgrown green
one.
Officer Dan Furbush is the
traffic officer in Wilmington.
So when he received a complaint
that someone’s shrubbery was
overtaking busy intersection,
and obstructing visibility for
both pedestrians and motorists
alike, he went down to
investigate.
33:07 he was understanding of
the complaint, but in his
condition, he was unable to do
anything about it
Because as it turns out, those
shrubs belonged to a 93-year-old
World War II veteran. Maybe no
match for him now
35:21 There was a lot of it
but one that could be tackled
by Officer Furbush and his field
training officer Michael
DiLorenzowho just started the
job last week and wasn’t aware
this would be among his
responsibilities.
34:27 not at all. I knew there
was an aspect where we tried to
help the community as best as we
could and an opportunity arose
The two officers decided to cut
back the bushes themselves after
workalong with the veterans’
affairs office. It took them two
hours, and a supervisor was
watching.
34:43 he’s an awesome man, he
had a lot of great stories to
tell and he was extremely
thankful that we were able to
help him out
36:00 it’s not something we
normally do, but it solved not
only a veteran’s problem, a
community problem and a traffic
complaint. It worked out great
for everybody
19/tag 9:27 their landscaping
efforts were so good, so
thorough, it looks like this
work, it looks like this work
will last for a while. I
