Everyone was then invited to cool off in the pool with free swimming from 2-4. The money toss was held at 3 and there were many eager participants. One eleven year old girl, who was a good diver, came away with over $9. This year's celebration ended with something new. At 9:15 p.m. there was a free movie and popcorn in the park. There were only about 50 in attendance but this could become a popular addition to the day's activities. The movie, "National Treasure" was shown on the side of the swimming pool and the sound system worked great. It was a fitting way to end another great 4th celebration! there are no positives." Several other residents close to the proposed project stated that they had made significant investments in their homes and were afraid the project would greatly decrease their property values. Concerns over increased traffic and crime were also discussed. After the discussions were held the board voted 40 not to recommend a zone change. Elise Bown, planning and zoning committee chairman, reminded those in attendance that the planning and zoning committee is a recommending body only and that the city council makes final decision on all zone changes. Other business on the agenda included a request by Gene Hyatt to subdivide a lot. Greg and Julie Dunford would like to purchase the lot and build a home. The committee voted to request the change.

Tips for traveling with kids this summer (ARA) - Summer family trips are a time-honored tradition. From a cross-country drive to visit the grandparents to a trip to a national park, for many folks, summer just wouldn't be complete without the annual vacation. As any parent knows, traveling with kids can be wonderful, sharing their excitement as they explore new places or. reconnect with distant relatives. But traveling does take its toll - schedules are disrupted, so both kids and parents may be tired and cranky; you may be eating food you're not accustomed to; and hours cooped up in a car, train or plane getting to your destination can be taxing on the whole family. Here are some easy ways to make the trip more fun for everyone. • Hungry kids are grumbly kids. No matter what your mode of travel, make sure you take along a selection of healthy snacks. Granola bars, fruit and packets of cheese and crackers are good choices. If you're traveling by car, take Mark JIcmme/Gunmson Valley Gazette Martha Larsen approaches the board with her zoning change proposal while Gunnison residents listen intently. o/ttgage Specializing in all tij}x?s o{ Mortgage Loans• New Pu rchases •Refinances • Second Mortgages • Construction Loans Jayne Glover/Courtesy Photo along bottled,water or fruit juices; if you're flying, opt to buy drinks at the airport instead of lugging around heavy bottles. • Plan some entertainment. Before the trip, invest in a new book, or a few inexpensive portable games or toys to keep kids entertained as you travel. A portable DVD player can be a sanity saver on extended trips. • Get up and stretch. It's hard for kids to be confined for long periods of time.

If you have an airport layover, take a brisk walk through the terminal. • Pick the right hotel. When traveling with kids, a pool is a must-have. A quiet room that allows everyone to get a good night's sleep is another necessity. You don't want to wake up at the crack of dawn when the person upstairs starts the shower. Likewise, you don't want to worry that your kids are making too much noise for the people in the room next door. • Keeping kids on their normal schedule as much as possible means everyone will be happier. Try to work in time for naps in between sight-seeing or visiting with relatives. If you get to bed late, let the kids sleep in the next morning. Bring along a special pillow, blanket or stuffed animal if it will help your child sleep better. • Create memories. After all, that's what family trips are all about. Give kids a disposable camera to snap photos during the trip. When you get home, turn the pictures into a scrapbook. You can also share them with people you met or visited on your trip.
