Shaking off several chilly days, Chesterfield Township and New Baltimore residents soaked up the sun Wednesday with temps reaching 80 degrees.

The splash park opens this season inside Brandenburg Park.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for noon June 8 to unveil Chesterfield Township's splash park, according to the township. The water attraction inside Brandenburg Park was made possible by a donation from the Webber Family Foundation. It has been dubbed by the township as the Cedar Point of Chesterfield and will include 16 fountains in the park overlooking Anchor Bay off Jefferson. The ceremony is free and open to the public. Brandenburg Park admission will be waived during that time for attendees, township Supervisor Michael Lovelock said.
The speed measuring awareness trailer will be positioned along streets with frequent speeders.
New Baltimore drivers will soon notice an electronic sign that posts their speed as they travel down main or side streets. The newly purchased Speed Measuring Awareness Trailer, also known as a SMART sign, was bought from Huntington Woods police at auction for $600 and decorated for local police for about another $400. Similar trailers that are brand new are valued at approximately $10,000, according to New Baltimore Police Chief Tim Wiley. "The whole purpose of it is to get voluntary speed enforcement cooperation," Wiley said. "More or less we're just trying to use it as an educational tool." The sign will be positioned on some of the streets that have frequent speeders, including Jefferson, St. Clair Drive and Ridge Road. But, police …

I worry about my kids walking to school or outside playing in the front of yard. I could call daily about the traffic. You would think that the police would patrol that area closely because of the schools. The police come out… more ›

Sorry to see someone so young die in such a tragic accident-- truly very sad and most sincere condolences to the family. But the way things work in this 'Great Country gone wrong' makes it time for someone to get a big-time lawsuit going. Lots of money on the table here with 1/3 going to some lucky attorney.
