City honors Vivian Cruic 00,shank for service
By NATALIE JOHNSON
Vivian Cruickshank has tirelessly vol-
unteered on the Shelton Civil Service
Commission for longer than even Mayor
John Tarrant says he can recall.
In response to those years of dedica-
tion, the Shelton city commission gave
Cruickshank a certificate of apprecia-
tion during their commission meeting on
Monday.
Tarrant read a letter from the commis-
sioners to Cruickshank.
"Dear Vi," he read "the Shelton City
Commission wishes to express a sincere
thank you for your many years of dedi-
cated service as a civil service commis-
sioner."
As a civil service commissioner, Cruick-
shank has worked to keep the city up to
date with civil service rules in its hiring
processes and to address changes in the
law to keep those hiring processes legal.
"Shelton is very fortunate to have an
individual such as you to volunteer your
time for our community," Tarrant said.
"It is through the efforts of the civil com-
missioners that we are able to continue
to provide high quality public safety ser-
vices here in the city of Shelton."
Tarrant, said that Cruickshank had
served on the commission for more than
15 years. Tarrant served as the chairper-
son of the civil service commission in the
early !990's.
"You, and I were on the Civil Service
Commission together - that goes back
at least to the mid 90s and I personally
want to say thanks for your hard work,"
he said.
The city of Shelton honored Vivian Cruickshank with a certificate of appreciation for her years of
volunteering on the Shelton Civil Service Commission.

City makes room for ho! F00ital expansion
By NATALIE JOHNSON
The Mason General
Hospital expansion project
is getting under way, and
seemingly, the only thing
standing in it's way is an
unfinished city owned
right of way on G Street
between Sherwood Lane
and 13th Street.
The city commission ap-
proved a resolution Mon-
day, authorizing a public
hearing to discuss vacat-
ing the land to make room
for the hospital expansion.
The parcel in question
is about "210 feet of un-
opened East G Street be-
tween Sherwood Lane and
13th Street," according to
the briefing given to the
commissioners.
"This is currently an
unimproved portion of G
Street," city community
and economic development
director Steve Goins said.
After receiving a re-
quest to vacate the land
from the hospital, Goins
said that city staff began
to question whether this
unimproved section of
road was needed after all.
"In reviewing the Ma-
son General Hospital pro-
posal, we grappled with
the need for this road and
the pros and cons of any
road in this area," he said.
"It seemed to have more
negatives than positives
we didn't believe it was in
our interest or the hospi-
tal's interest or the neigh-
borhood's interest in hav-
ing that road cut through
there."
Goins asked the com-
mission to approve a reso-
lution that set a date for a
public hearing on the va-
cation of the land.
The commission passed
the resolution, and sched-
uled the public hearing for
March 7 during their regu-
lar commission meeting.
