Brainerd city staff and council members talk about an initiative Monday, March 1, to paint downtown crosswalks with blue or green to help differentiate the downtown area from the rest of the city and promote walk ability. Theresa Bourke / Brainerd Dispatch
Colorful crosswalks are the latest initiative to highlight Brainerd’s downtown area and simultaneously help with parking woes.
Mayor Dave Badeaux told council members Monday, March 1, the idea came from the city’s parking commission, which was formed last year to help alleviate some of the parking issues downtown. The group talked about wayfinding, Badeaux said, and creating a more pleasant experience for people when getting out of their cars and walking.
The early history of the Chipley Woman s Club
By J. Sauls | Special to the News
Editor’s Note: The Chipley Woman’s Club will mark its 100th year this month. This is one in a series of features submitted by its members about the club’s rich history that will run leading up to the milestone celebration.
On March 24, 1921, an announcement appeared in the Chipley Banner. Mrs. Zelma Farris Alford, the wife of Earnest Leslie Alford and President of the School Improvement Association, invited the women of Chipley who were interested in forming a Woman’s Club to attend a meeting held for that purpose on the following Thursday. At that meeting, Mrs. Edna Milliken Findley-Read explained how a departmental woman’s club could be formed, with the School Improvement Association going into it as the Education Department. A unanimous vote was taken to this effect, and the new club was named the Chipley Woman’s Club.
