Chad Lagrange pulls a wagon full of sand up a driveway Friday afternoon on Elm Street in Auburn. He lives around the corner but helps keep the sidewalks, driveways and steps of this and other buildings in the neighborhood safe by shoveling and scraping the snow and ice in addition to laying down sand and salt. It also gives him a chance to chat with his neighbors. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
