After the unanticipated resignation of Melanie Riggs in February,
the nominating committee had to fill a blank spot on the ballot for
the April election. They first called on Susan Gelhbach, assistant
city clerk, who acted as interim clerk. But, Gehlbach respectfully
declined.

What makes a community great? All of you
July 20, 2009
This week we are doing something important: pausing to reflect. Ten months ago,
