don't tell' policy as they didn't see the need to send the control officer to check how many dogs are at any one home The council approved the hiring of Gunnison Court Clerk Laurie Hansen The court will also have new hours A suggestion by Council member Nay to spend up to $5000 on a plan for planting trees in the Gunnison City Park was tabled Council member Vern Hatch felt the town didn't have the money and could find local individuals to help for free Council member Keith Willmore brought up the question of ATVs being used to plow snow off driveways and sidewalks In the past one or two individuals have been cited for using the machines to clear snow Safety Supervisor Blaine Jensen said that it was against state statute to operate ATVs on anything other than designated trails He did however tell the council that the police department would do what the council wanted if they directed otherwise The council went into executive session Cinderella Prince Charming and all the gang appear in GVHS musical ten their version of the story the famous musical writing team of Richard and Oscar Rodgers name But that name is Hammerstein included In more likely to conjure up 1957 they presented their thoughts of beautiful version of the story as a teledresses at a ball and of glass vised musical Julie as starred slippers than a blackened Andrews face Cinderella An estimated The story of Cinderella 107 million people watched has appealed to people for the show that night Ten centuries because it's so en- years later the production joyable to see good faith was revived for another and good works triumph television special with Leslie Ann Warren in the over laziness and greed The Cinderella fairy tale leading role In 1992 helped to give the phrase Whitney Houston put her "happily ever after" to the own twist on the story by world partially rewriting Rodgers Many authors have writ and Hammerstein's musi "I like to sit by the fire the cinders fly and my face gets " smudged Cinderella tells Prince Charming about her Mall Magic The annual Mistletoe Mall attracted hundreds of shoppers to the Gunnison more were all featured at the event held in the Gunnison Valley High School was provided by Jeana’s Dance Works and the Gunnison Valley Lions Club Scott Hermansen retained his seat for Gunnison Mayor as he defeated Brian Jensen 242 votes to 219 during the general municipal election November 4 2003 Hermansen has been interim mayor since the resignation of Mark Henline in August In the Gunnison City Council race Rodney Taylor retained his seat with 274 votes New to the coun- Accident claims Gunnison Youth ' 4 r r -
