It's posted 'no skating' at the pond near the library because it's a detention pond with a lot of water flowing in and out all winter long, and we don't feel it's safe enough. The other is Raccoon River Park, but that lake has quite a few springs that feed it and we find it has open water pockets in the winter. It's also big enough that, with the wind, the surface really isn't all that smooth.

The first thing you'll notice is beautiful garden displays, from ceiling to floor. In each is a water feature, including a large pond and waterfall set up by our society.

Maureen isn't based on a real person. She's a completely fictional creation, though some of the girls probably went through the same sort of things. Maureen just sort of absorbs all the bad stuff. She's the sort of person that everything happens to, poor thing.

American universities reflect American society ... where you do have completely segregated communities. Our fear would be that that is happening here as well. If we are not careful we will drift into an American-style coexistence, where inequality is entrenched in society.

Poor Englishwomen! When it comes to their clothes-well, the French reaction is a shrug, the Italian reaction a spreading of the hands and a lifting of the eyes and the American reaction simply one of amused contempt.

James Laver (1899-1975)

A pond will use less water in a week than the same area of grass. The only water you lose is through evaporation.

Think of it as the ripples caused by a pebble thrown into a pond. They just haven't hit the shore yet,

It only takes a small amount of water to get onboard, and it sets up a sort of uncontrollable rocking effect that actually turns the vessel over quite quickly. They can sink in no time flat.

One of the essential services a society requires is provision of fresh water and disposal of wastewater. Being involved in this industry, we are in a public health and environmental issues, so I consider myself an environmentalist and a conservationist, and that is a great satisfaction I get from doing this.

William Berkman

We anticipate someday water will flow down Long Pond Road to Cedarville and that's part of our water master plan, which is in draft form right now and scheduled to be ready by Christmas.

There's kind of a cosmopolitan feel among these kids, which could end up being something very distinctive. It's a mishmash of stuff, and it's all just sort of thrown together, which is very much what this generation is like: a mixture of what they take from their families . . . and purely American kids.

You need the years to sort of let the emotion go, to be sensitive, but to let the culture as a whole experience it fresh without it being exploitive. If you tried to do it in 2002, it would have been too raw, too fresh.
