Whitaker From 1 Whitaker Mid his four goal have been l get control of Morm water, help wiih commercial construction development, help develop property in a pleasing way for the public and help Mock the maintenance shop. Whitaker said city officials and his Malt are instrumental in helping him meet those goals even with the relentless growth. Houses are sprouting where com fields once stood. With that comes asphalt, curbs, sidewalks and gutters that don't absorb water like pastures once did. So now comes detaining ponds, areas fenced ofT that fill up with storm water. Storm water is melting snow or rain water. Sometimes there is just a little amount, other times there is a lot. The water drains off slowly and fills up the county storm pipes at a constant rate, helping the city avoid flooding, Whitaker said. Some people are concerned the ponds are breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Whitaker and his crews spray the areas to keep down the mosquito population. But do you want a little mosquito bite or your house flooded out? he said. The detention ponds are a maintenance headache because weeds sprout. Whitakers crew were at one pond recently tilling the weeds under to plant grass. Vhile they tilled, Whitaker headed to the city's million-gallo- n culinary tank in Clinton. He checks the pumps and wells daily to sec if they are functioning correctly. Each month, he or one of his employees takes ran- dom samplings of water throughout the city and sends it to the health department. Water isnt his only concern. He also worries about the parks. Soccer From lr the past eight months the city has planned, built and will install new pljyground equipment at the West Point City Park west of the main bowery. The playground will be for children 8 and younger. The larger playground north of the bowery is far enough away that parents cant closely supervise their young children playing while visiting with friends or lamily in the bowery. Whitaker said people dont understand how hard it is to build a park. Like the new one at 4500 West and 500 North. That park has taken time to build. There is no playground equipment, yet. There are no baseball bleachers or backstops, yet. But there are grass, a sprinkler system, rest rooms, an area for soccer and young trees. Some people expect too much. W'e have no commercial revenue and we cannot develop a park quickly. We have to do it in phases, when we have the revenue," Whitaker said. Stoddard said when the city finishes building the new park on the west side of the city, it will begin another park on the east side of the city, at about 2400 West and 300 North. Whitaker's crew is also small, but they are busy especially in the spring. Thats the time to get the parks ready, the secondary water lines going and the potholes filled. That is also the time when construction booms. Contractors want to know where pipes can be laid and where pipes are to hook up to. When Whitaker started he and city officials had maps made showing locations of existing utilities, storm pipes and the turn-of- f water valves. They also bought equipment so that when a water pipe breaks, as they do sometimes, Whitaker and his crew can fix it in a short time. In the past, the city rented equipment and no one knew the Morgan Maguire. Morgan plays goalie and fullback for the Tigers. Maegan Johnson says her aunt got her interested in soccer. She had played for 8 or 9 years. Maegan has played for a year. It makes me feel good, Maegan year-ol-d 1 by making sure everyone has the opportunity to play.

It also has upgraded its master plan to keep up with growth. Whitaker said growth is the biggest challenge. With growth comes changes, like the changes Cordon Stoddard has to make. plant flower bed at Clearfield church By RUTH MALAN Saoovo Examiner correspondent -- to the sewer, Whitaker was there because of a "mystery Vowlcs said as he pulled a big weed, roots and all.

Then the Scouts, ages 7, 8 and 9, went to work beautifying the surroundings of the neighborhood. One group of boy donned bright-orang- e vests and took garbage bags up and down the street picking up litter. Another group of Scouts went across the street to the new church parking lot and removed weeds from the new areas so a sprinkling system could be installed before flowers are planted.
