SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 7-12-24
It is a short report this week.
BERYL
Thanks very much to the Highway Department for keeping an eye on the roads and bridges in
the town. Juniper Hill had some washouts that the department worked on immediately. The
Water Department had anticipated the rainfall and topped up the reservoirs so the town could
avoid the issue of storm water. The Parks Department wrestled with docks and floats at the beach
to secure those from floating down to the dam.
While it was quite a bit of rain, Wilmington did alright, apart from yesterday’s cancellations, for
which we apologize. The river was quite high and the water moving very fast—every reason to
be cautious. But thanks again to everyone.
SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM/CHILD CARE
The summer youth program DID get to start today and from what I saw the counselors were
ready. I had called them "teachers" by mistake and heard concerns that this would be like school!
Yuck!
Intermittent showers with rare bits of sun seem the weather for today.
I was also asked about babysitters and help. Two families looking for help on weekends while
they work. I remember how hard it was to get someone to watch over our kids when we had to
work. But that was now almost two decades ago, and I am less up to speed on what resources
there may be.
If any of you have information that might be of help, please let me know.
Thanks very much and have a nice weekend.
