“Lots of people have asked me what we’re building on the corner of Falcon Ridge Parkway and Hardy Way,” Mes- quite Public Works Director Bill Tanner told the Mesquite Local News. “I smile and tell them ‘nothing.’ Most of the time they don’t believe me.” But in this case he’s right. Typically seeing earth moving equipment, dump trucks and water trucks grading a prime corner lot on a busy street is an indica- tor of future building activity. “We’re just getting rid of sediment dirt from the Town Wash Basin over near the Oa- sis Golf Club,” Tanner said. “We had to have some place to put the sediment so we are using it to build up this corner lot that the city owns and make it more attractive for a future buyer.” Just west of the corner site is the new city-owned cemetery that Tanner hopes to award construction bids for sometime this summer.

MESQUITE LOCAL NEWS THE WEEK OF JULY 21, 2016 Healthcare Stay safe during outdoor summer activities

(StatePoint)

Hitting the road for an outdoor adventure or just headed to a local park or pool? Get prepared. Before summer fun, comes summer safety. These tips can help ensure you have the tools you need to enjoy your summer days safely.

BE PREPARED Whenever you hit the road for an outdoor adventure in warm temperatures, it’s important to be prepared for whatever might come your way. For example, keep certain safety items in your car all the time, such as a first aid kit and rain gear. It’s also a good idea to bring along more water than you think you need. You may be relying on your de- vice to listen to music, take pho- tos, use GPS, check the weather and of course to text and make calls, so always carry extra back- up batteries to stay charged.

The “2016 Shape of the Nation” report by Voices for Healthy Kids found that while Physical Educa- tion (PE) and other programming in schools could address this gap, few states have policies in place re- quiring schools to offer effective PE programs to all students. Addition- ally, competing funding and educational priorities are making effective PE programs less common. Other studies have found that active students focus and think better. That means higher test scores, better grades and more engaged learning across the board. But the benefits don’t end there.
