Former Mayor Judy M. Pierman and
her committee --especially JoAnn
Montgomery and Dolores Kurtz --have
worked hard to organize a program that
begins with the dedication of 14 marine
and bird, wood sculptures at the park.
"This is an interesting project that I
have worked on with Joyce and Ray
Lilly and Sam Golden," Pierman said.
"We decided to replace dead
Australian Pine trees with permanent
sculptures --not costing the taxpayers a
