| Summary: | MURRAY -- School crossing guard Lynette Schloer calmly points out each car that speeds through her strip of Fashion Boulevard. "They always ignore us," says Schloer. This is her second year as a crossing guard. With thumb and forefinger about an inch apart, she says: "I've been this close a lot of times, and I've nearly been hit." But Tuesday afternoon, she was the focus of several police chiefs and two Murray City police officers as she held a simple remote control. A punch of a finger lighted up a remote-controlled stop sign in the crosswalk. The device was invented by a West Valley City firm in hopes it will prevent death and injury to schoolchildren and crossing guards. |
