Another time, another place

Let me just say up front that I have no problem with events at which alcoholic beverages are served and/or imbibed.

I also do not have a problem with adults using alcohol as a means of fund-raising for youth-related activities. I have been to any number of nights at the races, octoberfests, oldies dances, etc. to support a variety of community organizations, including such youth programs as football, cheerleading, bands, etc.

There were, however, no youth present at any of these fund-raisers.

Bellevue burps over beer in Bayne

Barely a month after voters rejected allowing liquor licenses in Bellevue, the borough is dealing with a proposal to sell beer in Bayne Park -- a proposal from the borough's own employees.

The idea for a "beer corral" in the park developed from plans to hold an arts festival to raise money for the borough's matching share of a grant to build a skate plaza in Bayne Park.
