"THIS IS IT" <br /> PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY <br /> WEEK OF AUGUST 14 - 18, 1995 <br /> PARKS <br /> * Thursday, August 10 was Adam's last day in parks. Adam has <br /> been working with the Parks crew, under Steve Dazenski ' s <br /> excellent supervision for over a year through the JPTA <br /> program. Adam is a Mounds View resident and student in the <br /> school district. He will concentrate on graduating and then <br /> pursue mechanics work. <br /> * This week the Parks crew has been working on many washouts <br /> as a result of the heavy rains received over the weekend. <br /> Washout locations included Greenfield park pathway and the <br /> entrance to the parking lot off Woodcrest Drive at Woodcrest <br /> Park. <br /> * Next week will be the last week for two other Parks workers <br /> including Joe Quick who will be returning to college in <br /> Iowa, and Bill Urbanski who will be reporting to teachers <br /> • preparation days - starting another year of teaching in the <br /> White Bear School system. Both workers have been excellent <br /> contributions to park maintenance activities. We wish them <br /> a good year and hopes that they will return to Parks work <br /> again next summer. <br /> RECREATION <br /> * Sharie chaperoned a successful extended trip to LaCrosse, <br /> MN. All enjoyed the adventure and everything went according <br /> to plan. <br /> * This week began Adult Fall Softball leagues Monday through <br /> Thursday evenings.
