Lions seek help on 'Tots' drive
Never doubt that one person can make a difference.
Just look at the example of Dane Best a few years ago upon learning that throwing snowballs in Severence, Colo., was officially on the naughty list. The 9-year-old didn’t think it was right that he couldn’t legally pitch a frozen sphere at his younger brother in a classic, no-holds-barred snowball fight. (No word on what his brother felt about his sibling’s plan to fight for the legal right to wing a snowball or two — or more — at him.)
The ban is technically part of a larger ordinance that was set in place more than 100 years ago, according to an Associated Press story a few years ago. The ordinance made it illegal to throw stones or missiles at any trees, people, property, or buildings, and according to Kyle Rietkerk, assistant to the Severance town administrator, snowballs fell under the “missile” category.
