If you use these types of collars, remove them before entering the park. • No Children under the age of 16 are permitted unless accompanied by an adult.

Dogs must be removed at the first sign of aggression. • Female dogs in heat are prohibited from entering the park. • Dog owners must be in the park and within view of their dogs at all times. • All off-leash dogs must be under voice control of their owners. If you can not control your dog off leash, keep your pet leashed at all times. • Dog owners must keep their leash in hand at all times. • Please do not bring dog food into the park. • Owner must clean up dog feces. Seal waste in the provided plastic bags before disposing in designated receptacles. • Fill any holes your dog digs. • Proof of a current rabies vaccination and license is required upon request of a police or animal control officer.

Do you have a room you just can’t keep WARM? Don’t spend your money on new windows, more insulation, or a new HVAC system you may not need -- without knowing the facts. There may be a better solution to bring comfort and warmth back into your home. In general we find that air flow into the room is insufficient. It may be caused by a poor duct design, leaky ducts, poor insulation or cold air moving into the room from places like top plates, electrical outlets and switches. e When you consider energy efficiency upgrades, the intelligent way to set priorities and predict results, is to begin with a comprehensive Home Energy Assessment, performed by a trained and BPI certified professional. Armed with the assessment results you will be able to evaluate alternatives and make informed decisions…
