Miscellaneous Pictures

Tee ball and baseball games have begun in the parks.

 A walking trail has been cut out in the Staddon/Monnett park. It has an interesting circle in it. Soon the trail will get a layer of stone and after that it will be paved.

Rensselaer's first roundabout?

 Fencing for the new dog park has been installed.

On Saturday morning the annual running of the Chloe 5K started from the Fairgrounds and came through Brookside Park. When the runners and walkers arrived they got some musical encouragement from a Tri-County High School band and some water from the water station.

Later on Saturday the SJC Alumni had a Little 500 race at the fairgrounds. The race featured a huge trophy.

 There were six racers and the race was run in three segments. The track circled the area in which the carnival sets up during the County Fair.

 I noticed a new gazebo in near the livestock barns.

Last October I posted a picture showing the construction of the new office building  Here is the completed building.

 On Thursday a semi truck drove west on Jackson Street and then turned north on Abigail. On Abigail it hit the overhead lines and brought them down. The lines were not those of the electric utility but those of NITCO and CenturyLink.

Workers spent most of the rest of the day cleaning up and getting the lines off the road. On Friday a crew from the City replaced a utility pole that had been cracked. (The City owns the utility poles and CenturyLink and NITCO pay to use them.) More crews came and worked until after dark on Friday. There were more workers doing something with the lines on Saturday and today (Monday) a CenturyLink crew was doing something with the line.
