“I don t think that it s appropriate for the two of you to make decisions without it being an open forum like this and having a discussion,” she said during Tuesday’s meeting the first as a full commission. “The fact that it s already been teed up to me is a little worrisome.”
In nominating Labrador, both Chairman Beck and Davidson referenced conversations they had outside of commission meetings regarding replacing Diana Lachiando on the board of health, following her election loss to Davidson.
“I determined this was a good fit,” Beck said of his nomination.
Kenyon, former commission chair, said the process of filling the seat typically includes time for anyone interested to apply for the volunteer position, and evaluation of multiple candidates.

CHICAGO The flags that fly atop the foul poles at Wrigley Field feature the most recognizable numbers in Cubs history digits no player will don again on the North Side.
There is No. 10 for Ron Santo and No. 14 for Ernie Banks. Ryne Sandberg s No. 23 ripples in the Lake Michigan breeze, along with No. 26 for Billy Williams and No. 31 for both Fergie Jenkins and Greg Maddux.

Over their 138-season history, the Giants have seen scores of talented players become synonymous with the numbers on the backs of their jerseys. Here’s a look at the best Giants player to wear each uniform number:
Oliver batted .298 with a .705 OPS over 91 games with the Giants in 1984 before being dealt to the Phillies in exchange for Kelly Downs and George Riley in a midseason trade.
Known as “HacMan,” Leonard endeared himself to Giants fans by trotting around the bases with his left arm tucked into his body one flap down. His signature moment came in 1987, when he crushed four homers against the Cardinals in the National League Championship Series and took home Series MVP honors despite the Giants losing in seven games.

The Brother just sent me his results on one of those genetic history things, and since we share the same parents, it was basically a buy one get one free (and I got the free! Thanks, bro!). While it generally confirmed things we knew from word-of-mouth genealogy on one side of the family, there was a huge chunk that we didn’t know about, presumably on the other side – turns out a whole bunch of my people came from Ireland. Kiss me, I’m Irish.
