Speed display trailer Street sweeper repair Maintenance staff at the City Shop have been servicing the speed display trailer. Several months ago the trailer had been serviced and new batteries had been installed but the perfor- mance of the trailer was very poor and the batteries would run down in just a few hours. Staff checked out the trailer for obvi- ous electrical problems and re- placed the batteries again with a different brand. (The City says it had stopped using the previous brand of bat- teries because of poor perfor- mance in other equipment). Residents may have noticed that the City’s street sweeper has not been sweeping the streets for the past few weeks, and the City says this is because the auxiliary engine that powers the sweeper’s brooms and other mechanical functions developed a coolant leak and needed to be repaired. The repair was com- pleted in-house and the sweeper should be back on the streets by next week. Public Works allo- cated funds in the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget to replace the current 2007 Elgin street sweeper. Once the new sweeper is ordered, delivery of the new unit will occur within three to four months. Don’t withdraw and sulk or isolate yourself from others.

He called some friends and neighbors to help and they began to shovel dirt into the pit. At fi rst the donkey cried out, obviously terrifi ed of his situation. Later his owner no- ticed that he’d gotten quiet and thought he’d probably already died. But the donkey had not died. When the owner looked down in the pit, he saw that ev- ery time dirt fell on its back, the donkey would shake it off and step on it, packing it down un- der his hoofs. This continued for hours until fi nally, the don- key had packed the dirt enough to lift himself up—and out of that pit! We can learn something from that donkey.

The $1 fi rst prize and 50c second place awards were donated by Short’s Plumbing. While there were only three entries, the large crowd of amused spectators was delighted with the races, which should prove incentive enough to hold a similar event sometime next summer. Burleson’s “Ike” was winner of the frog dash Tuesday afternoon during the fi rst annual Frog Jumping Contest held by Pioneer Bridge. “Albert” leaped a total of 5’6 ½”, in three hops, to cop the fi rst prize. “Ike,” who outweighed the two other frogs put together, put forth with a 4’3 ½” effort, while “Mr. Hoppie,” tiny entry of 8- year-old Roger Randall, gave three quick leaps to total 3’2 ½”. In the frog dash, “Ike” was the slowest leaper of the bunch but ambled in a straight line to win 5A See our new website: douglasgmaddessdmd.com
