Civic Affairs

In my lead for the latest city salaries story, I used the familiar expression “hunting where the ducks are.”

(Auditor Howard Allan speaks to Augusta Township council Monday evening.)

(Yep, we missed out on this...)

(Alvis Larocque, left, and Troy Merkley work on the sidewalk Monday in front of the former Woolworth's building.)

(The ill-fated bells of Trinity Anglican Church, photographed by Darcy Cheek.)

It is indeed a most ignoble fate.

(Michael Mann, chief executive officer of Launch Labs, speaks to city council's economic development

and planning committee in February.)

(The Aerial Angels dazzled the downtown in 2006.)
