Chairman’s Column
Toraj Khavari
I can almost see them done!
In my professional life, I have the privilege
of bringing quite a few products in production serving our nation for
more than 30 years. Start a product vision on paper, and yes sometime on a
paper napkin, all the way through design, development, inspection, and finally
released to the public.
You would think, after this many years,
I be used to bringing a new vision to reality. No!. I still vitalize release
parties, ribbon cutting celebrations, and general public using the end result.
Palm of my hands get sweaty, and my heart rate goes up.
The Bull Mountain Park construction end is in
sight. Visions are approved. Architectures are done. Designs are complete.
Permits are available. Construction started and Woodshire entrance
and Westside ADA trail started. Basalt Rocks for the garden is getting mined.
The logs for the Nature Playground are getting milled. Picnic Shelter kit
construction is ordered. Spring started. Sun is more visible. Days are longer.
Promise of dryer, outdoor construction weather friendly, days are coming. The
construction will resume and will push for completion, ASAP.
The Bull Mountain Park construction, like any
other large project, has it challenges prior to release. With your involvement
and professional services help, we are overcoming them one at a time.
This is call to action
time. Get involved in the planned events, participate in bringing the
construction to reality, and come along to make our beautiful park a place for
Children Of All Ages to enjoy. You will delight in the journey!

Upcoming work party:
Please stop by the park on Saturday May 13th to meet our local Boy Scout Troop #799. The troop will be
spreading bark chips on the lower trails. The trails are in real need
of some Spring maintenance after our very wet Winter. Thank you
Troop #799 for helping out in the park.
Trilliums
in the park
By Linda Shaw
With our crazy weather, I hope you got a chance to walk through the
park and check out the blooming Trilliums. We have had quite a few
trilliums and they last only about 2 weeks. I learned that (after “googling”)
Trilliums have an extremely long life. Trilliums are relatively easy to
grow from their rhizomatous root but slow to develop and spread. To make up for
slow development, the plants can live for up to 25 years. Early season sunlight is what
is needed. Even though it is a woodland species, the dormant plant needs
to be warmed by the early spring sun.
Thank you very much
