DUCKLING RESCUE: Following a 911 hang-up call on July 7, an officer responded to a Battersby Avenue location where three citizens were attempting to remove ducklings from a storm drain. With the help of fire department and police personnel, the ducklings eventually were recovered. An adult bird was stuck, so plans were made to flush the line  in an effort to get her out. City crews were notified to fix the storm drain cover.

NO SALE: Police took a report at 11:33 a.m. July 7 about people attempting to sell vacuum cleaners door-to-door in the McHugh Avenue neighborhood. An officer advised the solicitors about city laws prohibiting such sales and the merchants moved along.

WELFARE CONCERN: Police were dispatched the afternoon of July 6 after hearing of a possibly-intoxicated man in the Enumclaw library; he was falling over and did not appear capable of tending to the young child with him. He was taken into custody for creating a public nuisance and cleared by medics before being transported to the city jail for booking. The child was released to the mother.
