At tisas time, tise CSAC decision wss successfully appealed as town counicil and tise grant criteria revsmped s second time to bring tise NCCC bsck in tise eligibilisy game. Despite tisat, CSAC, wisicis is made up of council-sppointed citizens, isas once again refused funding for NCCC's most recent application for $675.

"It's a committee tisat's safety involved and sslety is kind of out of place isere," said Mr. Lee. Mr. Furik agreed tisat NCCC seema to be tise odd group out. 'T1is was a tougs one because it doesn't seemn to fit," ie said. "It wasn't an easy decision. It wasn't fun." Councillor Cindy Lunsu reminded tise otisers wisere tise final decision resta. 1I feel it's important to support committee decisions wisen sisey're made but we ultimseely isave to realize counicil is respon- seble," sise ssed. ~Correc'tions needed Two namnes were wrong in tise 'Royal stroli' pisotograps depicting E.W.
