The closures will begin at 10 p.m. on Fridays and end at 5 a.m. on Monday morning. Motorists should expect delays during these weekend closures. There also will be nighttime lane
closures during weeknights for barrier movement, pavement striping

Baskin Robbins, firefighters team up for discount ice cream to support senior safety Firefighters will scoop discount ice cream from 5 to 10 p.m. Wednesday, April 28, at the Hazel Dell Baskin Robbins, 7000 NE Hwy. 99, while collecting donations for Fire District 6's senior Fall Prevention Program. On April 28th, Baskin Robbins stores across the country will be selling ice cream for just 31 cents per scoop in honor of firefighters. Not only will Baskin Robbins stores be making a $100,000 donation to the National Fallen Firefighters Association, but this 31 Cent Scoop Night gives fire departments the opportunity to collect donations for the department's designated charity on the night of the event at their local Baskin Robbins store. This year, Fire District 6 will collect donations for its senior Fall Prevention Program. Donations will be used to purchase fall prevention equipment, such as, grab bars, non-slip socks, walkers, and canes. Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury-deaths and the most common cause of injuries and hospital admissions for trauma. Fire District 6 responds to falls more than any other type of medical emergency. Subscriber input sought The Daily Insider is making changes.
