Our old friend Penni Klein advises that an important meeting is coming up that will affect the future of Cross-Country Skiing in Middleton:
Monday, January 21 7:00 p.m. City Hall 7426 Hubbard Ave. Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Commission Meeting The Commission will discuss Middleton's Open Space Plan, so they will be taking a look at the use of all of Middleton's publicly-owned recreational lands. That includes the Pleasant View Golf Course, the Pheasant Branch Conservancy, and the 150 acres the City owns at its landfill and dog park on Highway Q. Penni was the Superintendent at Gov. Nelson and is now Middleton's Public Lands Manager. She has been a great friend to skiers over the years and is enthusiastic about the possibilities for XC in Middleton. She says she's already gotten money into the budget for grooming in '03! She thinks they probably won't want to groom in Pheasant Branch, but will allow skiing there. She is optimistic about the possibility of grooming Pleasant View (and perhaps the landfill site?). If we could get Pleasant View groomed, it might help take some of the pressure off Elver. Maybe you could even drop off your compost before doing hill repeats on the landfill. Middleton skiers are especially encouraged to turn out and show your support for our sport. For more information, contact Penni at 827-1044.
