Plain City approves new design

PLAIN CITY — The city council finally approved a design for the new building and bowery at Town Square Park.

Councilwoman LaFray Kelley had asked the council to consider a design that included 12 extra feet of storage for a sound trailer, but her motion to that effect died for lack of a second.

Councilman Bruce Higley moved to have the bowery design include restrooms and two storage areas, but without the 12 feet of extra storage. Kelley voted against the motion, but Higley and two other council members voted to approve the design.

Motherhood would be tough without the tool box

A young mother of 2-month-old twins told me recently that she’s sure tired.

Since they arrived she’s been feeding them every three hours. It takes a whole hour to feed them, which means that in the past 60 days, the longest rest she’s had was two hours long … if everything worked out just right, meaning the twins went right back to sleep, without needing more than one diaper change, and her 3-year-old didn’t come in to snuggle in the mean time because of a bad dream. (By the way, the 3-year-old — as any seasoned mom would know — is the reason this young mom can’t nap during the day.)

So how is she doing?

TRICARE for retirees targeted as defense budgets fall

As defense budgets grew over the past decade, Congress shrugged off complaints of runaway military health costs and blocked every proposal from the Bush administration to raise TRICARE fees sharply on retirees.

Defense budgets have stopped rising, however, and Defense officials are sounding more confident that Congress will follow last October’s $5-a-month bump in TRICARE Prime enrollment fees for working-age retirees with more substantial fee increases for retirees of all ages.
