Corbin Bernsen is either a really down-to-earth guy or a very, very, very good actor. Anyone who has seen his work and then met him here on the weekend would no doubt say that he is both.

The actor/producer was in Kipling Saturday and Sunday to conduct auditions for a part in an upcoming movie, Donna On Demand. In an interview, he had nothing but good things to say about the community and about the 90 or so hopefuls who read for him.

Ratepayers on Fourth Street in Kipling have blocked a paving project proposed for this fall. Earlier this year, Town Council considered undertaking recapping the pavement on Fourth Street from 5th Avenue to the 605 Grid. Cost of the project was estimated to be $146,000.

Of these costs approximately $90,000 was to be financed through the General Revenue Fund and the Community Share Grant and approximately $56,000 through a local improvement special assessment levy. As the Town of Kipling is a property owner along Fourth Street, general revenue would have been responsible for an additional $31,000; this left approximately $25,000 to be assessed to the remaining property owners along Fourth Street.
