The Chapel Hill Town Council formally accepted a $623,000 grant Tuesday from Orange County.

The grant will allow Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Town to convert a turf softball field at Cedar Falls Park to a synthetic surface athletic field suitable for multi-purpose use.

Adoption of Tuesday’s resolution also authorizes the town manager to apply for a $500,000 Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF) grant, which would provide the required local match for the Orange County grant along with additional funds for the project.

The project will include demolition of the existing Cedar Falls Park No. 1 softball field and the installation of a synthetic turf field in place of the  grass.
Renovation is planned for a portion of the parking lot, new fences, new site furnishings, Americans with Disabilities Act improvements and lights.

Last night's excellent episode of NBC's "Parks and Recreation" centered around Leslie Knope's efforts to put together the city's summer catalog for the Pawnee Parks Department.

Here's that catalog.

You can read about all the featured classes, including "Get Digital" (learn DOS and Lycos!) and "Raccoon Trapping" (never again fear raccoon attacks!).

But the staff bio section is the best. Did you know that April (featured on the cover) was born in Bjork's house in Iceland and enjoys reading "Family Circus" and traveling through time? She's also in charge of the bio section of the catalog, and no one checks over her work. 

NCAA Basketball (WRAL) - It's going on pretty much all day, folks. Grab your bracket and tune in. 

FlashForward (8pm, ABC) - The show is back after a fairly long hiatus. Hope you caught the refresher Monday night...

(And yes,  Fiennes looks very close to groping Shohreh Aghdashloo in the photo at right).
