A ceremony is planned for 10 am on Dec. 8 at Johnston High School.

A dedication ceremony for the new "Walk of Fame" is scheduled for Saturday morning at 10 am at JHS. In the accompanying video [running time: 1:42], Mazzie speaks about the first installation of bricks, which are available for $50 each. Find more information at the JHS Hall of Fame website.

Officers from the local department walked to Town Hall to pose for this year's Christmas card photo.
About three dozen officers of the Johnston Police Department gathered at Johnston Town Hall on Nov. 27 for their annual Christmas card photo. The morning's drizzle held off just long enough for Chief Richard Tamburini to march his officers down Atwood Avenue, assemble them on the steps of Town Hall, and pose for a few shots before heading back to the station on foot. Check out the accompanying video [running time 1 minute] for a view of this year's department photo — and click here for the 2011 version.

In coordination with the Johnston School Department, members of the Johnston Fire Department distributed 20 Thanksgiving baskets for local families this week.
