• "THIS IS IT" <br /> PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY <br /> PARKS: <br /> I spoke with Jeff Wienke yesterday by telephone to see how he was doing. He said that his head <br /> still hurts. He is being monitored with daily tests. He said that he thought he would be out for <br /> another 1-1/2 to 2 weeks. His recovery is coming along fine and we are all glad that there has <br /> been no complications. <br /> Playground installers are planning to be at Groveland Park next Tuesday to install the new <br /> equipment. It is expected to take two days considering the weather cooperates. <br /> The main activity in the parks now is soccer. There has been a large increase in the number of <br /> soccer players registered this year. Soccer continues to be on the rise. <br /> The Athletic Facility Inventory and Analysis which is a partnership of the School District and the <br /> four cities within the school district including Mounds View, New Brighton, Arden Hills, and <br /> Shoreview and youth athletic associations is almost complete. The final report will be presented <br /> to the Mayors and Managers later in October. This has been a four month process with input and <br /> • information provided by all groups and organizations listed above. It is anticipated that this <br /> document will provide direction for future athletic facility development and improvements. <br /> RECREATION: <br /> Fall Programs and Activities are underway. Swimming lessons, after-school activities, soccer <br /> league games, flag football and basketball programs, pre-school age programs, senior activities <br /> and adult fitness programs have begun. Programs to be held later include school days out <br /> activities (MEA activities), Movies at the Parks, trips and excursions and special event activities <br /> for Halloween and the Family Turkey Shoot are among those to be held later on. <br /> Winter activities are being planned, which will be publicized in the next City Newsletter. <br /> FORESTRY: <br /> Rick continues to assist property owners that have diseased trees. There is an increase in diseased <br /> trees this year, after many years of continued decreases - which makes Rick a bit uneasy. He has <br /> contracted vibratory plow services which works to sever root connections passing diseases from <br /> tree to tree for several property owners troubled with oak disease. This work is being funded by a <br /> grant received last year for fighting tree diseases. <br /> • CABLE TV: <br />
