Citizens Advisory Committee gets its first task
Members of the revitalized City of Bowie Citizens Advisory Committee met for the first time Tuesday night and were given their first task by Mayor Larry Slack.
The citizens committee was created by the council in 1992 with the last appointments made in 1995. It has been inactive for 21 years.
Slack told the new members it is his hope they can discuss various city plans and issues in an effort to get a “feel” for the citizen’s thoughts and desires.
Those approved for the committee last month are: Lee Wayne Jones, Bill Enlow, Gary Cunningham, Laura Sproles, Barbara Green, Tim Biles, TJay McEwen, Carla Whitaker, Penny Tripp, Pat Tripp and Jim Gilbow.
The group Tuesday night elected Laura Sproles to serve as its chairman, they will next meet at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 19.
The mayor’s first task for the group has been a hot topic in the last two years, the construction of a new municipal complex and its location.

There is a new flower showing up at garden centers that is pure magic, in fact its official name is Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit. If you aren’t familiar with the name, it is a calibrachoa, a petunia relative. Double gives reference to flowers that in this case look like miniature roses.
Magic is your key descriptor telling you that the flower changes colors. The flowers start off a pleasant lemon yellow and then age to a rose pink.
Of course, to get to rose pink you have various shades along the way. Another magical aspect to me, the guru of captivating combinations is that it seems no matter the color you choose it will go with Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit calibrachoa.
