A plan to build a new Taco Mayo restaurant in Mustang survived the fire of angry residents Tuesday before a split City Council OK’d a zoning change for the proposed new location just west of Sara Road on East state Highway 152.

Council members made the decision in the face of a large contingent of residents from North Maryella Terrace opposed to the request. The Council voted 4 to 3 to approve the change from C-2 to C-3 zoning.

Iditarod musher Duane “Dewey” Halverson told Mustang Valley Elementary fourth-graders when he was their age, he dreamed of Alaska.

He read Jack London’s “Call of the Wild” and went straight to the hardware store to buy hinges for his future Alaskan log cabin.

When young Halverson showed his hinges to his mother, he told students she didn’t take his resolve seriously. His Boy Scout leader told him his dream of dog sledding was impossible.
