FUN ON THE MOUNDS: Students At John Allen Elementary School have a trial run on a new feature of the school's playground. The mounds, just recently sodded, will provide an area for the youngsters to run and play the popular game, "King of the Mountain." The mounds were created out of dirt piles left after the new addition was completed at the school. It's to be expected sledders will try them out in the wintertime too.
