The Clarissa City Council found themselves in the position of trying to settle a neighborhood dispute about where to drive in the alley. Two of the council members live on the same alley and are right in the middle of the controversy. A small crowd filled the council chambers, most of them there to hear the council’s decision on the alley between the homes on east Oak and Mill avenues. After some departed, the council and the gallery toured the alley, and the council returned to the chambers and tabled the issue until the September meeting.

Princeton edged the number two seed from the recent Region 14C tournament 5-4. This ended the Flyers season in opening action of the state event in a fashion similar to that of a year ago.
