Montgomery Police Officer Kelli Smith receives a Life-Saving Award from Montgomery Police Chief Phillip J. Smith at the Montgomery Village Board meeting Monday. Officer Smith, who has been with the Montgomery Police Department for approximately a year-and-a-half, responded to a call of an infant in medical distress in the 2400 block of Mayfield Drive in Montgomery Monday, May 7. Officer Smith used her knowledge of C.P.R. on the four-day old infant who was choking. Smith dislodged an item from the baby’s throat by patting the baby on the back, therefore saving the life of the baby. • Two Montgomery residents, Chad Davis and Sara Klostermann, complained about their
neighbor in the Foxmoor subdivision for recently installing a chicken coop in her back yard. Davis said the neighbor has 18 chickens in a 10-foot x 10-foot area. Klostermann said she understands her neighbor’s dream to have free range chickens, but not in a subdivision where the chickens will attract hawks, coyotes, other vermin, and flies. Director of Community Development, Richard Young, said he is still looking into the matter, but, found out there is a document from a doctor and the Veterans Administration regarding service animals that stated she is allowed to have six chickens as service animals. Village officials agreed to investigate further. • Garrett Burke and six-year-old Brock Rolfsmeier shared their fish story when they recently caught a two-foot bullhead catfish in the Foxmoor Basin in Montgomery.
