Only
the Name Has Changed
|
|
Formerly known as Inside Jeweler’s, Dyer’s
Jeweler’s at 2745 Weir Rd. (behind the old Wawa) wants
their loyal customers to know that their personalized
service has not changed. Patrons will be greeted by the same
smiling faces of Bill Dyer, his business partner Lisa
Ruffenach, and salesperson Miki Onorato, who collectively
have over 45 years in the jewelry business. The store still
specializes in jewelry repair and custom wedding band
design, and watches and rings are still for sale, with an
even better selection now. “It’s nice to be able to come
in and talk to the jeweler, not just the owner,” notes
Dyer.

Aston
commissioners pose with Green Ridge firefighters, after
recognizing the emergency responders for their service to
the community and their actions at a recent Parkside fire. |
Firefighters Praised
The applause was
heartfelt at last month’s commissioners’ meeting, where
members of the Green Ridge Fire Company were credited with
assisting in the rescue of two injured Parkside firemen on Aug.
11. One of the recovering firefighters, Dan Brees, was in
attendance. Commissioners commended the firemen for their heroics,
and the service they provide the community every day of the year.
Aston Beechwood Fire
Company responded to 44 fire calls and 153 ambulance calls in
August, while Green Ridge volunteers answered 65 alarms that
month. The August totals break down to an average of eight
emergency responses every day.
$50 tickets to an
Oct. 7 Brees/Frost Foundation fundraiser dinner at the Springfield
Country Club are available at both Aston firehouses.
