PBA selects sticker design winner

At Monday night's Town Council Meeting, the Portsmouth Business Association (PBA) announced the winner of their contest to design next year's town transfer station sticker. PBA President Linda Silveira and board member John Vitkevitch congratulated the winner, PHS student Bethany Reese, whose entry featured a recycling logo and wind turbine.
Reese will also receive 150 "PBA bucks," said Silveira, "which can be used at any PBA member in town."
Town Council President Peter McIntyre congratulated Reese and thanked everyone involved in the competition. The design will be featured on transfer station stickers which will go on sale at Town Hall early next year.
Editorial note: Story 2 of 4 from Monday's Council meeting. Still to come: skate park and PEDC annual report. Why is the week before holiday break so crazy at work? Sigh.

It's the Forelog
You ask the question, "Why is the week before holiday break so crazy at work?"
Answer: It's called the "forelog", which is the work that has to be done before any vacation or holiday break. It's the opposite of the "backlog" which is the work waiting for you upon return from vacation or holiday.

Yes!
Hi, Maddie...
That is well said. Just a reminder that work itself is incompressible, and you end up doing it anyway on one or the other side of a vacation.
Forelog --> Yule log --> backlog.
Cheers.
