Dear Mr. Palazzolo:
My name is Sam Skinner, one of the members of the Hoppity Hats, the group you visited recently. Thank you for the interview. I am sending you an article about the Adopt A Hydrant program, and it has been thoroughly edited. We were wondering if you could ask about including the article in MinnPost. We would love it if you could. If there are any parts that need tweaking, that is fine by us. We also included some pictures if those would be useful (names for group photo: Gunnar Jacobson, Sam Skinner, Alexander Kamenov, Soren Sackreiter, Milo Fleming, Jude Breen, and Ian Culver).
From, The Hoppity Hats
The Hoppity Hats, a Destination Imagination (DI) team at St. Anthony Park Elementary School, wants YOU to help the community by maintaining access to fire hydrants. The 3rd grade DI team focuses on encouraging people to adopt a fire hydrant by going to http://adoptahydrant.opentwincities.org/. Where the weather is wacky, like Minnesota, hydrants get covered in snow and become difficult to access. According the St. Paul Fire Department, it takes 5-6 minutes to dig out a snow-covered hydrant. Fires can double every 30 seconds. That means a fire can double 10-12 times in the amount of time it takes to dig out a hydrant.
If you are interested in adopting a hydrant, go to http://adoptahydrant.opentwincities.org/. Once you log on, find a hydrant or two near your home and adopt it! Then, you can name your hydrant. The website will e-mail you after snowfalls to remind you to clear your hydrant. There are about 18,360 fire hydrants in the Twin Cities. Fewer than 100 of them are adopted. Now let`s go help the community!
