Home My WebLink AboutEuless Today Summer/Fall 2009---- - -y �Z welcoff"�! Dear Citizens, What a busy summer we've had with many activities both in our cool buildings and outside in our warm sunshine. The many volunteers that helped with our Euless Revitalization program in June during two very hot days never complained and did such a fantastic job helping others with a happy smile. We have so much E!W1to be thankful for in our city and volunteers are number one. Our volunteers consisted of citizens, church members, fire and police academies, businesses, restaurants, city staff members and even those from other cities. We totaled over 400 volunteers for two days. It's easy to see why Euless was selected as the Best Small City in Texas to Raise Your Kids as well as one of the Best Places to Live. And while we are bragging, we want you to know Euless, Bedford and Hurst won the Regional Cooperation Award from the North Central Texas Council of Governments for assisting with the transportation needs of our citizens with HEB Transit. This is the fourth time Euless has won this most prestigious award. The United States Conference of Mayors recognized the Euless Revitalization program as a finalist at their national conference. You may remember Euless won the City Livability Award two years ago with our Compost-ology program. The library has been a place of cool activities with plenty to do for all ages. The summer concerts are free and lots of you are enjoying them. Participation in the Summer Reading Club has increased to over 800 this summer, not including adults. There are many continuing programs for you to enjoy. Our parks are such a joy to so many citizens, but then there are some who find joy in vandalism. We suffer over $25,000 in damages to our parks each summer. Now there is a way for citizens to help by calling Crime Stoppers and reporting the crime if you know who committed the vandalism. All calls are anonymous and many times there is a monetary reward. The Texas Star Golf and Conference Centre has been completely remodeled with additional space in the Conference Centre and the Raven's Grill. A lovely new enclosed porch has been added along with the two outside porches. There are new additions to the menu and the Sunday brunch continues to be a favorite meeting place for friends. The new art work will be in place in late August and will continue with the historical additions already at the Texas Star. This statue will be a bronze work showing three Indians from different tribes signing the peace treaty while Sam Houston is watching. The artist is Cindy Burleson from Austin. Cindy has created all of the bronzes in the city. Do read all the articles in the Euless Today as there are so many activities listed for all ages and some need early registration. While the city staff and Council are closely watching our budgets, we will still provide the services our citizens have come to enjoy. We continue to Build a Better Euless for our citizens today and tomorrow. We are a FabEuless city because of our volunteers!

Fire Prevention Week Fire Prevention Week, the longest running public health and safety observance on record in America, will be observed this year October 4-10. Proclamations have been signed by U.S. Presidents every year since 1925 proclaiming the week in which October 9 falls as Fire Prevention Week. On the night of October 8-9, 1871 the reat city of Chicago was devastated by fire. The fire destroyed more than 17,000 buildings across 200 acres of he city, killing over 250 people. Strangely enough, nother fire occurred the same night in the forests urrounding Peshtigo, Wisconsin. While nearly lost to istory by the shadow of the Great Chicago Fire, the eshtigo fire burned over one million acres, destroyed 16 owns and killed more than 1,100 people. Those two fires orever changed the way public officials thought about 're safety. In 1911, on the 40th anniversary of these fires, he Fire Marshals Association of North America declared at the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire should be henceforth observed in a manner that would keep the j ublic informed about the importance of fire prevention." ,n 1920 President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation www.euless.org proclaiming the first National Fire Prevention Day. By 1922 it had become Fire Prevention Week, and the rest, as they say, is history. Be fire safe!

Reclaimed Water In an extraordinary effort of team work, the cities of Euless and Arlington along with DFW Airport are working with the city of Fort Worth to explore opportunities to re -use waste water (reclaimed) from the Village Creek Treatment Plant in Fort Worth. Reclaimed or "recycled" water is produced from the water we use and discard every day. After proper treatment, it is ideal for many non -drinking purposes such as landscape watering. Reclaimed water is rapidly becoming a valuable resource and is a practical method of relieving the demand on potable water supplies. We anticipate that once the infrastructure is in place, reclaimed water will be used for irrigation at Texas Star, the Parks at Texas Star and Softball World. It may also be available for heavy industrial uses. Since it is treated wastewater, it is not subject to drought restrictions and may provide additional nutrients to the turf, which makes good environmental sense. By using reclaimed water, we're working together to provide high-quality water for our environment and for the future. It provides an efficient use of the region's water resources while conserving valuable water supplies for the region. Every gallon of reclaimed water used for outdoor watering represents a gallon of potable water saved for drinking. 71 �i;--I Library Hours: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. 817-685-1480 10 Youth Family Storytime First Monday of the month at 6 p.m. (during the school year only, not during June & July) Pat -a -cake Nursery Rhyme Time Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. (Ages 0 - 2) This program is an interactive time for babies and a caregiver with nursery rhymes, songs and fun.
