Donated Roofing
Culver LIttle League Dugout with “Easterday Green” Metal Roof
If you haven’t noticed, the Culver Little League has new dugouts. Last week we donated some Butler Manufacturing Company VSR roof panels for the project. This is a commercial standing seam roof panel, though the volunteers basically installed it as a simple screw down. It still looks pretty good and it’s Easterday Green! Ha! The panels have a 70% Kynar finish so they should give them years of service. We were pleased to be able to donate this material to the little league. We have been supporters for decades.
Culver Fall Fest
With Lakefest almost upon us, the Culver Chamber of Commerce is already looking ahead to the Culver Fall Fest. One of the events they would really like to push is the Scarecrow Contest. The scarecrow contest has withered, so to speak, over the last few years. The Chamber believes if they can get a good turn out for this, they can draw in media for a news spot on the scarecrows and thus the rest of the events. They think critical mass on this will be a minimum of 50 scarecrows. Put your creative thinking caps on and see what you can come up with!
The entry fee for the contest is $10 and there is a $200 prize for the best scarecrow. To help support this, I am offering to reimburse the entry fee for any Easterday Construction Co., Inc. employee or employee family member. (I will ask that they credit Easterday Construction on their entry so we can keep track.) I will also offer a $100 prize to match the Chamber $200 prize if an ECC entry win! Kathy and Julie have already accepted the challenge. Any ECC entries will be highlighted and credit here.
Culver’s Second Lake
Anyone that doesn’t think the proposed stormwater project on the west side of Culver is required should talk to this guy stranded in the middle of Lake Shore Drive. Granted, plowing through a flooded street with water that tops the sidewalk on either side could be worthy of a Darwin Award, but generally this isn’t what you expect in town.
Culver Vision Workshop
Culver’s Vision needs a strong prescription!
Last night was the Vision Workshop for the Culver Comprehensive Plan. I’ve been calling this effort 20/20 vision for Culver for a while now. Unfortunately with the poor turn out last night, our vision may require a stronger prescription! Less than 30 people turned out for last night’s meeting. That’s pretty dismal. There were three Plan Commission members there, but only one Redevelopment Commission member and no Town Council members. The overall poor attendance is probably due to poor advertising, but it’s unfortunate that our community leaders aren’t getting involved. I’m not in tune with all of the local groups, but I was disappointed that only one Chamber board member was there who was also the only Second Century Committee board member. That was particularly disappointing considering the leadership role SCC took in the previous Comprehensive Plan. I couldn’t identify any of the Lions Club Board, Kiwanis Board, Boys & Girls Club Board, etc. Maybe that apathy in and of itself says a lot about Culver’s future…
Culver Comprehensive Plan – Vision Workshop
Vision Workshop
Join us at the Community Vision Workshop where residents, business owners, elected and appointed officials, members of the consultant team and other stakeholders will work together to create a vision for the Town of Culver. Attendees will participate in an interactive workshop format to map out their concerns, the things they like best about the community, and the changes they would like to see made in both the near and long-term. The vision workshop will be a fun and engaging way to provide your thoughts about the future of Culver.
Why is the Vision Workshop important?
The purpose of the workshop will be to establish an overall “vision” for the future of the Town of Culver that can provide focus and direction for subsequent planning activities, serve as the “cornerstone” of the consensus building process, and identify a path for growth. Based on the Vision Workshop and previous steps in the planning process, preliminary planning goals and objectives will be prepared.
SAVE THE DATE: June 24th, 2013 6:30 pm Culver Community High School Cafeteria
