Parks Director Could Have More Power in Rejection, Approval of Races

Committee recommends a management solution to make Doug Bollen gatekeeper for all road races in the city's packed recreation schedule.

The councilors, who will likely ratify the subcommittee's vote on Thursday, instructed Bollen to analyze each proposed race, meet with the Salem Police Department and check all other events in the city before he makes a recommendation to the Council.

Simple explanation. The Shanty has no liquor license after 15 Jan until it opens 1 Apr. Beginning in 2002 we held a SB party, but sold no liquor. We served any beer/wine left over from the season free and also cooked up leftover foods. Customers/guests also brought potluck dishes. All went well until the last NE Pats/NJ Giants SB when we were shut down by the PD after a neighboring business …   more ›
