The park cleanup day begins at 9 am.
The Friends of Ashford Park group is holding a park cleanup day from 9 am to noon on Saturday, March 2. District 2 city councilman Jim Eyre said, "The cleanup will help get the park ready for increased use as the weather warms this spring. We will be cleaning up leaves, picking up trash, cleaning the portable toys, cleaning the beds and, hopefully, spreading pine straw around the trees at the playground. "Please bring rakes, blowers, gloves, clippers and other hand tools you may feel appropriate for this work."

A Patch series asking you, what would you like to see in our city's parks.
Brookhaven becomes a city at 12:01 am on Dec. 17, and one of the responsibilities our new municipality will be undertaking is maintenance of local parks. A couple of weeks ago, a loyal reader suggested this idea to us: Patch could serve as a source of information for our soon-to-be-elected mayor and city council if we asked residents, what would they like to see in our city parks? So, for the next eight working days (Monday through Friday, Aug. 20-29), Patch will be running a series of articles asking you: what would you to see in a specific park? Maybe slides or play areas, or more picnic tables, perhaps. What about swings, monkey bars, or baseball fields? Or maybe better lighting or safer parking areas. First on the list is Ashford …

The state has released CRCT scores. Here is how three Brookhaven schools fared.
Results are in for the CRCT, and while some scores are high at Brookhaven schools, there is also room for improvement. CRCT stands for Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests, which measure how well students in grades 3 through 8 acquire skills and knowledge in key subject areas, such as reading, math and social studies. The assessments are used to determine individual student strengths and weaknesses, as well as the overall quality of education in Georgia. The results just released from the state include scores from third, fourth and fifth grades at Dresden, Woodward and Ashford Park elementary schools. Across the board, scores were high in reading at the three schools. At least 73 percent of students across all grades met or exceeded…

Ashford Park signs adorn the top of more than two dozen street signs in the Brookhaven Neighborhood.
If you've noticed a little something extra on top of the street signs in Ashford Park, it's because the civic association has installed street signs toppers. DeKalb County gave the association the green light in October 2011 to install more than two dozen toppers at the 25 entries into Ashford Park along Peachtree Road, Dresden Drive and Clairmont Drive. The sign toppers were estimated to cost around $2,000 and were installed as a way to brand the community, said Ashford Park Civic Association Vice President Jim Eyre.

PPS: Although winning was important. We learned it was never all-important and, instead, learned to be more interested in a 'fair' game; which meant even no bench-warmers. So: Knowin who were the really good players and the really lousy players, for any game, we'd divide the players so both teams would have equal players of both really good players and really lousy players. For ex: I could never … more ›
