Horne, II City Manager Pam Akin City Attorney Jill Silverboard Deputy City Manager Micah Maxwell Assistant City Manager Summer is here, and temperatures are heating up. With the red tide outbreak officially behind us, Clearwater Beach is brighter and more EDITORIAL STAFF beautiful than ever. I’d like to recognize the hard work of the city’s Parks & Recreation and Stormwater Division teams that raked and cleaned Executive Editor Joelle Castelli the beach every day to keep it enjoyable for visitors. Their efforts made Editors Jason Beisel Clearwater Beach one of the few beaches in the area to keep impacts from Heather Parsons the bloom minimal. Assistant Editors Sandy Clayton City crews rake the sugar sands of Clearwater Beach each day. This is one Krystie Epperson of the many actions that keep it so beautiful and popular among residents Mike Lockwood and tourists. The city uses money generated from parking fines to pay for José Patiño the daily raking of Clearwater Beach. The fund also is used for the school Rob Shaw crossing guard program, year-round lifeguard coverage and lifeguard Graphic Designer Laura Del Valle facilities, such as look-out towers and lifeguard stations, among others. CONTRIBUTORS One of the ways residents can help keep Clearwater clean is not just by recycling – but by recycling right. Clearwater residents can have a Library Jennifer Obermaier Linda Rothstein positive impact on the environment by recycling only those items that Library Managers are accepted in Clearwater’s recycling program.

They get tangled in unless otherwise indicated. the equipment, leading to equipment failures and fires. Instead, plastic grocery bags should be returned to the grocery store for recycling, or they should be thrown in the trash. When in doubt, throw it out. There’s always a lot to do in Clearwater, and this summer is no exception. Soak up some summer rays (with sunscreen, of course), or take advantage of the air conditioning at several of the city’s recreation centers and library branches. The Summer Reading Program kicks off June 10 at all Clearwater branches (see page 21 to learn more), so encourage youngsters in Clearwater to register and start reading the summer away.
