Grant Sharpe Memorial: Marge Carter, leader of the ad hoc committee <strong>for</strong> this project, reported that<br />
Sunday, 16 Sept. has been chosen <strong>for</strong> the dedication of the new part of the trail. The “listening area” has<br />
new seating built and installed by Mike Porter and a compass rose which he also created. After this<br />
ceremony, the ad hoc committee will have no further commitment. Any monies left in the Grant Sharpe<br />
Fund will continue to go to<strong>wa</strong>rd this trail’s upkeep, and then the Trails budget will be responsible.<br />
Ludlow Cove: PLA has indicated that they would like us to help remove the massive Scot’s Broom growth<br />
on this trail. We are still considering <strong>wa</strong>ys to make this trail a loop.<br />
Rainier: Bicyclers have been using this trail despite posted signs at beginning and end. We need to check<br />
to make sure the signs are still there. Any other suggestions to discourage this activity would be<br />
appreciated. Timberton Loop is the only trail on which bicycles are allowed.<br />
New Business:<br />

Soozie Darrow reported that in some sections of the Around the Bay Trail the asphalt is<br />
becoming dangerous due to tree roots heaving the asphalt. Suggest that we look in to various<br />
methods and costs of taking care of these areas.<br />
Dan Darrow reminded us that it is hunting season and we may hear gun shots and/or encounter<br />
hunters on the trails, especially Timberton Loop. Hunting is allowed on the Pope property<br />
through which the trail goes. We discussed posting signs at the boundaries of the Pope/PLA<br />
properties but came to no decision. Just be a<strong>wa</strong>re of your surroundings<br />
Doris Monti in<strong>for</strong>med us that this Fall marks the 10 th anniversary of the Timberton Loop being<br />
open after much trail blazing by Doris, Dottie Johnson, and Don Derrington. She would like to<br />
have a celebration sometime this Fall, perhaps a hike and lunch at Niblicks. Watch the VOICE <strong>for</strong><br />
further news.<br />
The recognition and appreciation party <strong>for</strong> trails workers and ste<strong>wa</strong>rds will be 3:00 p.m. Friday,<br />
