Hits and Misses

Hit: To the best understatement we’ve heard in, oh, a week or so. Eagle River Water Commissioner Bill McEwan, who must preside over who will get water and who won’t in water rights questions, understands this will be a tough summer, since he’ll have to be the bad guy a time or two. So, a Daily reporter asks, think you’d be elected for the job if it came to a vote? “Probably not this year,” the good water commissioner replies.

Hit: To the volunteers in the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program aiming to strengthen community bonds.
