The residents who make up the city's Infrastructure Advisory Committee
blame city councils past and present for allowing streets and sewers to
fall into disrepair.
At last week's meeting, the committee was preparing to give the council a
presentation on the cost of the work that needs to be done.
Member Sally Alexander worried about the presentation being too critical
of the council members.
"We have to be careful not to make them upset," she said.
But member George Mason said people should be prepared for a nasty
exchange.
"Do you have your flak jacket and hard hat?" he asked.
All grown up
During an interview with his mom, 4-year-old Miles Vinikow didn't want to
be left out of the newspaper. So Miles was asked how he felt about the
new playground equipment his mom worked for a year to install in the
neighborhood park. He conducted himself like an adult.
In a most mature voice, he answered, "It's great because it has a
bumpety-bump slide."
Early bunnies get the eggs
At an Easter egg hunt in Fountain Valley, a group of children got an
early start.
The emcee noticed some kids in a corner creeping to pick up eggs before
the hunt began. When the emcee shouted "No!" to stop them, the others
thought he said "Go!" So all the children started the hunt early.
