Water Street Tuesday this was the south edge of Water Street In the 48 hours between Tuesday and Thursday the city had the trees cleared. The City is hoping to establish an off road, 10 foot wide multi-modal path between downtown and Meade Park in the Woolen Mills. The path and the fence (to keep pedestrians off the railroad tracks) have been planned for years. This is a section of the path and fence adjacent to “City Walk”. The scarified area pictured above will receive treatment similar to this in City Walk in the coming months. How best to handle the commons, the City owned right of way throughout town, 156 miles of street? Tomorrow, the City is holding a community engagement event for the “Streets That Work” project that will address this and other questions related to streets. Be there! Streets that Work Public Input Meeting – Saturday December 13, 2014 City staff invites the public to be a part of the process and come out to its Streets that Work Public Input Meeting. Please join us on Saturday, December 13 from 8:00 am – 11:30 am at the Carver Recreation Center Gymnasium to share your ideas and join the conversation.

What percentage of the people who walk through the portals of CVS are obese and/or diabetic?

Virginica O SEXUAL PHASES IN THE AMERICAN OYSTER (OSTREA VIRGINICA) During the past three years there has been an accumulation of evidence which indicates that in at least three of the so-called dioecious species of the genus Ostrea a change or sex frequently occurs from season to season or between early life and full maturity. It may be recalled that at least ten of the more than sixty described species of the genus are regularly hermaphroditic and larviparous. Some of these exhibit a rhythmical sequence of alternating male and female phases…W.R.Coe Biological Bulletin Vol. 63, No. 3 (Dec., 1932), pp. 419-441
