Special Highlights
July 10, 2000 Update
FROM THE GROUNDS UP:
A report from grounds keeper Frank Drengacz.
I imagine some of you on the west side of campus feel as if you are working in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Well you are close. Because of the new Student Services construction, the irrigation main line for the west side of campus has been disconnected. This is the reason that the west lawns are beginning to dry out. Unfortunately, the main line can not be reconnected until construction is complete in the spring of 2001. The lawns will go dormant this summer, but with the fall rains they will green up again. The plantings, including the wildflowers in front of Administration, should do just fine.
Speaking of the wildflowers - - I think I've been victimized by some eco-terrorists. Most of the wildflower beds are doing great. However, some of the beds came up 98% pigweed. We are starting over on those beds. We will reseed the upper west Center and the upper west Forum beds this week. Actually, these beds were the last to be seeded this spring. Apparently, the pigweed got a head start on the wildflowers. The initial phase of landscaping for Welding will be completed by the first week of July. Childcare landscaping will not start until late July. This break should allow the Bond crew to start erecting the greenhouse.
I hate to admit it, but I think Angie, James, Jennifer, and Cyndi are doing a great job maintaining the campus grounds in my absence. Dan is working hard on Mondays with the portable blower to clean off all the high use areas in addition to completing his work. I appreciate them filling in for me while I am devoting my time to the Bond 1995 Projects. I hope they appreciate that I did not ask them to clean the ash urns for me too. Go Titans!
