Volunteers helped remove Christmas holiday wreaths from Reedley Cemetery on Jan. 4. The wreaths had been on display at the gravesites of military vet- erans since the sixth annual Wreaths for Reedley Veterans ceremony on Dec. 14. Volunteers removed the wreaths and returned them to the Reedley Armory, where they were to dry out for a week before being placed back in storage.
ABOVE: Wreaths covered the floor of the Reedley Armory as volunteers stood in the background.
RIGHT: Volunteers carried and collected stakes where the wreaths had been mounted at the gravesites of veterans.

BBB warning: don't abbreviate the year on checks, other documents
Contributed
The Better Business Bureau serving Central California & Inland Em- pire Counties is warning consumers to not ab- breviate the year when
writing the date on im- portant documents.
When signing the date on documents, most consumers will abbreviate the date to the last two digits. How- ever, writing "20" in the
year section can lead to possible complications further down the line, as the year can then be easily manipulated. For instance, if the date is written as "01/03/20" it can be altered to look like the document is
dated "01/03/2019" or even dated ahead, such as "1/03/2025."
To avoid this issue, BBB encourages con- sumers to always write out the full year when- ever writing the date on documents.
