Projects not on the list, said Wm. Boyd Howarth, commission chair, are not considered by the Cl B for funding in that year unless there is an emergency.

Area Weather From The Internet December 8, 2004 me? got hurt sledding the other day. Dont you feel bad for Our trip started off fine. We bundled everyone up nice and cozy, jumped in the car, and drove to the one of the town's sledding hills on Sheeplane Drive. I had never been sledding on that particular hill, so I was not familiar with the terrain. We packed the sleds up the hill and went down a few times. The first time I went dow n I had Emily and Ryan on the sled with me. We hit a rut and were promptly dumped on our faces. Ryan came up with a face full of snow, and refused to go down the big hill again, so we decided to stick with the bunny slope. He didn't mind that as much. Emily and Austin, being outgoing, quickly made friends with the other kids on the hill. Emily went tandem with another little girl and they had a blast. Austin thought it was fun to race with the other boys. All this while Heath stood at the bottom taking pictures. I asked if he wanted to go down the BIG hill with me. He put the camera in the car and trekked up the hill. He steered while I sat in front. It was easy sailing until. . .THWUNK! We hit a bump. Now, Im not one to talk about my bumps and bruises and other ailments, but that bump did a number on my tailbone. I didnt know if I'd cracked it or just bruised it, but seeing as how I can still walk I dont think its broken. But, geez it hurts. That was my last trip down the hill. If Id been Austins age I probably would have shrugged it off and trekked up the hill again. Not me. I promptly started to whimper and complain and I continue to bring it up whenever I can to my husband, hoping that he will take the bait and vacuum or something like that, but hes wise to my traps. Darn it. I remember when George Bush, Sr. was president and his wife Barbara broke her leg while sledding (January 1991). She laughed about it and was a real trooper. I always thought that was the coolest thing, not that she broke her eg, but how she did it. Sledding with her grandkids. Now, low cool a grandmother is she? I should really try to be a trooper about this whole thing, seeing as how I wasnt even seriously injured, but its just more fun to get sympathy, even if its only from myself. Why me? Remember how I've mentioned that Ryan, my youngWell, hes done it again. Now, est, is my mischief-makerdont know if he did this to himself (I doubt it) or if his sister helped him (more likely), but while sitting at work on Monday I checked on my kids and discovered that Ryan and Emily had been busy putting on make-up- . Ryan had Jagic Marker all over lis face, looking like one of those scary Kabuki masks without the white iase. Emily had drawn pretty pictures on the ? roller shade used for portrait backgrounds, f you look on the back the door leading into the press room you can see someone has been rawing a mural. We enow it was Emily because she signed her name. All artists do, you know. I ask myself everyday, Why me?
