Dear Readers,

Having a cold winter? Not as cold as the provost’s!

Brad Stewart, provost of the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Montgomery County Community College branch, is so cold this winter he says he feels frozen out - frozen out, that is, of the process.

He uttered this complaint between chattering teeth to the Takoma Park City Council. The council offered Provost Stewart the scratchy woolen scarf of sympathy, but they kept the warm down-filled coats for themselves - better this time around that the council be toasty.

This heat-and-cold exchange concerned the upcoming expansion of the college. In 2005 the council created a citizen’s committee to come up with recommendations for the expansion that the city would be happy with. The Montgomery College Neighbors Advisory Committee presented their report at the February 25th council meeting, and the Provost attended.

Dear Readers,

How boring has the Takoma Park City Council been this year? So boring, Dear Readers, that when former mayor Kathy Porter showed up at the Feb. 4th meeting, the new mayor and council jumped onto the big council desk, scattered papers into the air, and screamed “OOOK OOOK OOOK!!!” while walking on their knuckles like chimpanzees. The former mayor frowned, though with a fond twinkle in her eye, and barked her familiar old admonishment, “Bad council! No cookie!”
