professionals, and a variety of historical events, attractions, and performers. Hundreds of people streamed through the gates for food, fun, and a taste of the past. RENAISSANCE FAIR On Page 6

In California, a bystander is being praised for his role in saving a young child whose stroller was nearly blown into traffic by a gust of wind. The child’s great aunt had gotten the child out of the car into the stroller, and then turned back to grab something else from inside the car. Within those few seconds, a large gust of wind caught the stroller, and it began to roll towards a traffic filled street. She ran to try and catch the baby stroller, but tripped and watched helplessly as she stumbled after the runaway stroller. Thankfully, a bystander, Ron Nessman was able to step in. Video surveillance captured the near-disastrous event and Nessman’s amazing heroics. Nessman who was sitting on a bench nearby heard the commotion as the child’s great aunt yelled out for help. He jumped into action and caught the stroller mere feet from entering the busy street.
