Point well taken

Your Sunday Smile

More of our friends that need a good long term home

Jaheverwunder?

Am I the only one that thinks this thing about wind chill temperature is nuts? I for one don't think I would stand naked in the wind in winter to see how cold it is. Some stations now call it "real feel" temperature and some now just call it the "real temperature." Sorry, that is not the real temperature.
If this is used in the winter why not the summer? Summer time and we hear "heat index." Why have we not heard it is going to be about ninety tomorrow but there will be a twenty mile per hour wind so the real feel will be about 82?  Hmmmmm.........
 I know, it is just me.  Ken

Board approved fish regulations

Progress being made

Our Thursday evening special board meeting was productive. Your board agreed to some changes to the lease agreement for the restaurant space that should be welcomed by any prospective renters.
We also agreed to changes to the board election rules and procedures that hopefully will take a solid bite out of the number of spoiled or uncountable ballots going forward. We all want everyone who casts a ballot to have that ballot count. You took the time and made the effort so you should get the benefit.

Inbound right lane closed... West gate

 Our West gate is once again experiencing lift problems in the right "in" lane. Parts are ordered and hopefully this will only be a two to three day problem. Maintenance and management are on top of it.

Thursday's special board meeting

 There is a rumor going around that we have a new restaurant coming into the Eagle's Nest space. That is probably due to the wording of the Agenda for tonight's meeting. All we were doing is going over the existing lease for possible modifications that would make the lease more appealing to those interested in operating the facility in the future.
 The second agenda item deals with ways to eliminate a lot of the spoiled or late ballots we seem to receive in board elections.
 That is it. The two items for board discussion. Not too exciting.

Dedication caught on camera

 

Chuck Corso and family starting the south gate

One of the topics of discussion during last Tuesday's board meeting was when to have the Caledonia Road clean-up that is part of your board's responsibilities. During our discussion Chuck Corso (our board secretary) spoke up and said "I will do it." I asked him if he was referring to cleaning the entire Caledonia road alone and he said yes. Folks, this is one big job. We pick up and bag all the trash starting at Kelly Road all the way to Dawson Lake Road on both sides of the road.

Caledonia road, not a piece of litter!

 I emailed Chuck Thursday to be sure he wanted to tackle this. He assured me it was planned for Saturday the 21st. Not only that, he also was going to clean the road coming in our south gate Sunday. I have noticed Chuck several times on a walk with his wife Dawn picking up trash at random times. This, folks, is dedication to Candlewick's appearance and he deserves our thanks. It goes above and beyond. As it turned out Chuck and his family had some help from Rich and Sue Witt, Bonnie Marron, Sandy Morse, and Jim and Evelyn Brefeld but he was willing to do it alone. 
 Chuck is also heading up the Candlewick Clean-up day. This is our yearly project when one day is set aside to ask volunteers to help clean our streets and parks. It has been very successful in the past. This year it will be held on May 2nd (with a rain date of May 3rd). Be sure to sign up at the Rec Center or main office. Let's all chip in a little time to help Chuck make this year's clean-up another success.

Words to live by

March 26th 6 p.m.

Coming year fishing regulations

Coverage for parents, register by March 25th!

Another step completed

Bonnie Marron tells me the Capron Rescue Squad request passed the County Board Wednesday night unanimously so things should start rolling soon. I believe that is the last hurdle before construction. Good news!
