At the June 2nd meeting of the Montrose Borough Council, the initial agenda was fairly brief. Throughout the meeting, however, various items of note were discussed in more detail- including the potential plans for a new health center, and zoning questions.

During Mr. DiPhilips report, he related information from a PA one call course- which he stated was pretty informative. He hadn’t realized that any person could make the call any time the sod was broken at all. Mr. Lamont, though, said that he thought if a person dug by hand he or she didn’t need to make the call. Ms. Skinner spoke about depth, saying that even if a person dug to put a mailbox in she needed to call. Mr. Lamont said a person could call, but didn’t have to call as a contractor if it was hand dug. He thought, though, that if there was a question the resident should call. He also said that the call didn’t absolve one from liability.

In recent months the Blue Ridge School Board has taken to awarding its Students of the Month certificates at a public ceremony on the evening of its business meetings.  The idea is to allow parents to share in the event, where the awards during school hours tend to exclude the families.

So it was at the Board’s meeting on June 2nd that the school principals announced their choices for May 2014.  Only one from the Middle/High School was in attendance, what with jobs, sports events and the like.  Only a small number of the Elementary School honorees were there, but they were proud to receive their certificates as Cititzens of the Month, and happy to nosh on the cookies provided as an enticement.
