Crossing guard of the year

Elizabeth "Liz" Peterson has been named Crossing Guard of the Year by the city of Calabasas and was honored at an assembly yesterday at Bay Laurel Elementary School.

Peterson, who has worked at the intersection of Paseo Primario and Calle Largo for eight years, said her favorite aspect of the job is that the children "keep me young and lively." Peterson was a systems controller in the aircraft industry for 33 years.
