• <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> PARKS: <br /> * The sprinkling system at Silver View Park has been repaired. A concrete floor <br /> has been poured in the manhole which houses the electrical panel and the <br /> pumps. A sump pump was installed last summer and the final touches have <br /> been completed on this system. It looks like the grass is responding to the <br /> water. <br /> * Mowing, brush removal at Silver View Park and chemical week control has been <br /> going on all week. <br /> * Steve and Jeff have been tying down the backstops at various park <br /> softball/baseball fields. <br /> * There is a shortage of woodchips around town - we are waiting for a delivery so <br /> that we can pursue the woodchipping of the path near the Scotland Green area <br /> and the disc golf areas at Silver View Park. <br /> RECREATION: <br /> * Sixty six children signed up for the trip to Sports Spree on Friday, July 8. We <br /> changed the trip from Cedar Lake Farm to Sports Spree because of the weather <br /> predictions for Friday. The children all love Sports Spree (our foul weather <br /> alternate trip). <br /> * The second session of swimming has commenced. Last week the pool was <br /> closed for one day due to chemical imbalance. This makes for a hectic day in <br /> the office trying to notify everyone of the cancellation. <br /> * Mary was off last week on a trip to Wisconsin Dells, Sharie is off a few days <br /> this week spending "quality time" with son #2, Chad, who is in the Midwest <br /> while on tour of the nation with the Madison Scouts, a prestigious drum & <br /> bugle corps. <br /> * Festival plans are set. A big centerfold publicity page was in the New Brighton <br /> Bulletin this week. It's a great piece! <br /> * Be sure to reserve your tickets for "Oliver". <br /> * Lakeside Park had another bout of Swimmer's Itch - it is the worst year that <br /> can remember for this problem. Other lakes are having problems too, large <br />
