* Registrations continue to be received for summer activities. The first week <br />when school is out is always the "panic" time for parents. They realize that <br />the kids are home all day and they need activity - and they run in with <br />registrations. It's an interesting phenomenon. <br />* An update from Sharie reports that there are not 6 bands that have been <br />sponsored for the Festival parade. Marching bands are one of the most popular <br />units of parades, and the most costly and difficult to arrange. It is exciting to <br />think that there will be six great marching bands in the Festival parade!! <br />FORESTRY: <br />* The pines have been planted along the sound wall at Long Lake Road and Hwy <br />118. They look great!! This project is funded through a grant that Forester <br />Rick Wriskey prepared in 1994 with matching fund using contingency funds <br />which the City Council opted as the City match should the grant be awarded. <br />You may recall that this strategy was decided on during 1994 budgeting <br />discussions. The trees really make the wall a more friendly barrier. <br />Councilmember Blanchard's idea of making the space a tree memorial for those <br />killed in the Oklahoma City bombing will be pursued. It is an excellent location <br />for such a "memorial forest". <br />* During the past two weeks the flowering trees in the parks have been in full <br />blossom. They are so beautiful and fragrant. We have been very fortunate to <br />have such a wonderful forestry program which beautifies City parkland and <br />open spaces with such beautiful trees. <br />CABLE TV: <br />* Cable TV Technician Jerry Skelly Jr. has accepted a full time position as Cable <br />TV production manager for the St. Paul School District. He will have a very <br />exciting job promoting the School District through video media. The City has <br />benefitted from Jerry's excellent technical knowledge and expertise of Cable <br />TV. Jerry has been a leader in City government Cable TV programming. The <br />City of Mounds View is well known in the Cable TV Commission as a leader in <br />Cable TV advancement, progress, and production success. We will really miss <br />Jerry. Our best wishes for Jerry in his new job. <br />Jerry will be with us until June 12 when he begins his new position. However, <br />Jerry will be stopping back to tie up a few projects and assisting as needed <br />until the Cable TV Technician position has been replaced. <br />GOLF COURSE: <br />* Golf Course maintenance worker Russ Ruzynski had kidney stone surgery <br />Wednesday, May 31. We wish him well. He will be greatly missed during his <br />
