LAPP volunteers completed building Lowden Park Pool in 2008. However, they are still about $60,000 short of having needed funds to finish children’s splash area, the next piece of LAPP vision. To meet this short-fall, LAPP has been applying for additional grants and has scheduled their annual Luau fund-raiser and silent auction-dinner for March 27th. The Big Splash, the opening dive in the pool, will be held May 8th. They now respectfully request your assistance with donation. All donations are tax deductible and will be used directly in construction of children’s splash area or to cover this year’s operations and maintenance costs. Certificates of appreciation will be mailed to donors of greater than $250, and for donors of over $1,000, a permanent sign will be posted at pool in acknowledgement. Lowden Park facility will support large swim events/meets, provide swim lessons and recreational swimming opportunities, and will benefit children and families of Trinity County. They hope to hold first swim meet since 2000 this summer. LAPP and residents of Trinity County would greatly appreciate any donation that you might provide, in the form of merchandise or funding. More info about events or donations: call Brandt Gutermuth, LAPP Treasurer, at 623-2318 (evening) or 739-2802 (days).

A group interested in revitalizing Hayfork has over 500 signatures, representing all groups in town (business owners, youth, law enforcement, community activists, residents, senior citizens, etc.). They will apply for a rehabilitation grant of approximately $2,000,000 through Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program. They want to rehabilitate and expand these park amenities: playground area; tennis and basketball Courts; schoolhouse (community center); drinking fountains; pool, including a shade area; re-envisioned landscaping using native plants; expand/rehabilitate barbecue areas. Do you have ideas on how to make our park a better, livelier place for community? They must create at least two new recreational activities. Here are suggestions received so far: skateboard park, performing arts venue, amphitheater or a gazebo; exercise stops along pathways; perimeter pathways with distance markers, handicap accessible, linked to Eskaton and Roderick Senior Center and perhaps partnered with H.E.S. for P.E. activity; visual arts venue: public installation art space/covered kiosks with plexiglass for 2-D pieces (student & adult art); disc golf course; amenities (second bathroom unit); purchase two lots across from park: one for Farmer’s Market – permanent cover on concrete slab, other for skatepark; reduce “empty lot” syndrome along Main Street; walking/running trail along Hayfork Creek linked to park. If you are interested in getting involved in efforts to revitalize our community, email your ideas and feedback to: Karl Fisher (Rotary) kfisher@afes.com; Susan Weiss (Our Fair Share) sweiss@com-pair.net; Jeff Dickey (Park and Recreation) jdickey@trinitycounty.org; Dori Viel (MVUSD) dviel@mvusd.us; Michelle Medley (Watershed Center) wrtc@hayfork.net.

She'll draw you in with her rich, engaging voice, rhythmic, percussive guitar and writing that has roots in folk, jazz and blues. Jeremy Facknitz didn't even pick up a guitar and begin writing songs until he was 18 years old. His aunt, a songwriter herself, passed down her old Yamaha acoustic to Jeremy as Christmas gift. Within a few short months, he found himself competing in local talent shows and jamming in basement bands. In 1997 he joined Detroit-based band 'The Ottomans' (2001 Best New Alternative Band, Detroit Music Awards). Jeremy played bass guitar in the project and was the main music contributor to groups compositions. After 'The Ottomans' parted ways in 2002, Jeremy and brother Jarod formed under the moniker 'Standing Room Only' and shared their not-so-subtle mix of deadly serious and comedic songs with intimate coffee shop gatherings throughout the mid-west. Since going solo in September 2003, Jeremy has lived and played all over United States. More info: call 623-6363.
