These Two Men Take Care of Cedar Falls

Wednesday, October 23, 2019 - The 2 men that have the most fun jobs in Cedar Falls are Park Supervisor Brett Morris and Park Construction Manager Kevin Cross.  They are in charge of all of Cedar Falls 42 Parks and Recreation areas within the city limits.  They are in charge of all the golf parks, buildings, maintenance, cemeteries, trees, lawns, and flower beds.  It is their job to make sure that the area residents have the best quality of life possible with all the scenery and recreational areas and make sure they are well maintained.  You can tell that they really enjoy their job of serving the community.  Written by Lynn Barnes

Sheriff Tony Thompson Shares the Enforcement Scene in CV.

Wednesday, October 16, 2019 - Just short of offering “Get Out of Jail Free Cards” to our Kiwanis Club, Blackhawk County Sheriff and Top Law Enforcement Officer, Tony Thompson, offered an insider’s view of what happens at the County Jailhouse. Sheriff Thompson is in charge of so much that protects and serves the county residents, we were all shocked about the multitude of concerns under his watch -  not to mention all the matters at the Jail. It's amazing how his job requires him to work with judges and bailiffs.  He and his officers are busy serving subpoenas, evictions, handling gun permits and investigating car accidents.  It was a great eye-opener on how our Top Cop does his job in Blackhawk County.  Written by Lynn Barnes

Mike Butler Shares Plans for Cedar Falls Veterans' Memorial Park

Wednesday, October 9, 2019 - Cedar Falls has a large community of veterans who served honorably in all branches of the US military.  Many area residents gave the ultimate sacrifice in life or limbs for or freedoms. But when the battles are over, the veterans' personal wars begin as they try to assimilate back into civilian life.   

Vietnam War Navy Veteran Mike Butler presented a way that citizens can keep their veterans' memories alive by buying commemorative bricks at the Cedar Falls Veterans Memorial Park on Waterloo Road for $50 each. These brick will both remind us of their loved ones who have served in the military to defend our freedoms and help defray the cost of maintenance of the park.  We thank all of our veterans for their military service.
