"Corporal Elvis", the Clearwater Police Department's robotic bear, attracts the attention of youngsters attending the 16th Annual Children's Health Fair at the Long Center in Clearwater on July 25. Clearwater Police volunteers, at back, from left, are Penny Dobson, Sidney Kaye, Harvey Huber and Pat McPhillips. The event, which was sponsored by area Kiwanis clubs, Civitan Club of Clearwater, AMBUCS, Sertoma and Zonta International, offered free back-to-school physicals, sports cardiovascular screenings, dental exams, vision screenings, spinal checks and immunization shots. Children and their parents were also treated to a free hot dog lunch.
