... that friends of former LCDC chairman Charlie Nipp are planning a "friendly roast" at Cricket's  "to let him know how much his contribution to the well-being of our community is appreciated and valued!" The roast is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 8. In an e-mail intercepted by a Berry Picker, Nipp supporters are encouraged to "share this with other folks you know who might also like to 'accentuate the positive!'" Nipp, of course, has been in the cross-hairs of anti-LCDC activists and the CdA Press as a result of an AG investigation into alleged conflicts of interest that turned up no criminal wrongdoing.
