Council gets earlier start

Mindful of meetings that have often run past midnight, the City Council has decided it should convene a half-hour earlier.

Beginning Jan. 13, the council will begin its regular meetings at 7:30 p.m. rather than 8 p.m. The Tuesday night meetings are open to the public and take place in the council chambers at City Hall.

Meetings have started at 8 p.m. for more than 30 years. According to City Clerk Carol Butler, the council says it changed the time to make it easier for the public to attend, as well as to allow for the meetings to end a little sooner.

Buy a brick for OHPIE

The Orchard Heritage Park Interpretive Exhibit (OHPIE) is currently taking private donations and corporate gifts to make its building a reality. The exhibit still needs $200,000 to meet its $300,000 goal before ground can be broken for the new center.

Contributors can become a permanent part of the exhibit by purchasing engraved bricks that will go into making a walkway from the parking lot to the center.

For $150, bricks can be purchased to memorialize families, commemorate birthdays and create family legacies.

To purchase a brick, call Leslie Lawton at 749-9848.
