Now superintendent of park maintenance for the Public Works Department, Wilmer was honored for his actions which saved the city approximately $60,000 in costs for landscaping soil. Marie 1 is Volunteer of the Semester Marie Ehlenz received her award for work as a volunteer emergency medicat technician with the South Washington County Ambulance Ser- vice. Marie has been responsible for maintaining and organizing records of monthly meetings, training, upkeep and member notification regarding registry status, information quite costly to create or replace. Cottage Grove water customers are reminded that Cottage Grove maint- tains a year -round restriction on lawn and garden sprinkling. The ordinance limits sprinkling to even - numbered addresses and odd - numbered addresses. Violation of the ordinance is a petty misdemeanor and violators are subject to a fine of up to $100. If all residents observe this restriction, we expect no problems in maintaining an adequate water supply for all areas of the city. Persons who have street lights located on their side of the street are asked to call the Public Works Department, 458 -0828, to find out where the street light wiring is located before placing a mailbox, sign or anything in the ground that could sever or damage the wires. If you detect a sewer gas smell in your basement, it could be caused by a dry drain trap. A quart of water in the floor drain will seal the trap and eliminate the odor. Meeting for the first time on January 7 was the newly formed COMMERCIAL/ INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT POL- ICY TASK FORCE. The task force was formed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and consists of members of that commission, the Economic Developernm Commission, and repre- sentatives of the Cottage Grove Chamber of Commerce.

CGAA Gears up for 1986 Seasol The Cottage Grove Athletic Associ- ation is a volunteer organization dedicated to providing organized athletics to the youth of Cottage Grove and surrounding communities. Today's organization is made up of a similar Board of Directors consisting of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Equipment Manager, and a Director from each sport. Please feel free to call these Directors if you have any questions about a particular sport. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Due to the efforts of Mr. Fran Ullman, back in 1959, the first baseball team was organized. A second team was organized by Mr. Gongoll in 1960 and it has grown ever since. In May of 1961, a group of concerned citizens formed an organization called the Thompson Grove Athletic Associ- ation and officially incorporated. This group formed the first Board of Directors and included Lawrence Eaton, Leo Bawek, Frank Borash, Richard Falb, Wayne LaPerr, Mrs. Charles Orme, Donald Hehkamp, Daniel Tate, and Fran Ullman. In 1974 the Thompson Grove Athletic Association was officially changed to the Cottage Grove Athletic Associ- ation. This group of individuals oversee the overall operation of the CGAA and its 4000 annual participants. 1986 Board of Directors: President -Emil Dubisar ......459 -7814 Vice President -Rod Beck ....459 -6495 Treasurer -Tom Kiernan ...... 459 -7637 Secretary -Sally Severson.... 459 -8033 Equip.

This is your opportun- ity to contribute to your community in a positive and meaningful way. The success of any volunteer organization depends upon its supporters. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The Teddy Schumacher Memorial Fund is available to any resident of Cottage Grove who is unable to afford the registration fee. For financial assistance contact one of the funds's Trustees -Emil Dubisar, Tom Kiernan or Mike Smeby. � r Garden plots located near the Ashland Oil Company Tank Farm will be available to all residents again this year. Public Works Department employees will plow the plots in the spring and then gardeners will take care of their own gardens. Residents must call the department at 458 -2808 to reserve a garden space. Persons who had gardens last year may request the same plots this year. They will be given first choice of these plots until April, and then plots will be assigned on a first -come, first - served basis.
