A Don McCormack column: Little Jenna still going strong

Behind the new junior high and high school going up in Jefferson is a mountain of sorts — it consists of all of the dirt that has been moved during the construction of the new buildings.
The pile has reached a height that it’s almost as tall — it not taller — than the new two-story buildings being erected next to it.
So, is Jefferson planning on fielding a motocross team in the fall when the drawbridges go up and the new buildings are opened?
“No, I don’t think so,” Jefferson Principal J.C. Montanaro said through a laugh. “I don’t see that happening.”
Actually, the massive pile of soil will fill a purpose — literally.
“That pile of dirt is going to be used to fill in the hole that’s created when the old building is taken down,” he said. “It’s going to be quite a crater.”
Until then, though, there is a mountain in Jefferson for the first time.
Just call it, “Mount Montanaro.”
Fast track
Montanaro admits even he is surprised at how fast the new Falcon Pride Stadium is being put together.
“Actually, I’m amazed,” he said. “It seems like just yesterday we were having facilities meetings and asking, ‘Can we get turf?’
“Now, they’re getting close to the point where that turf is actually installed.”
