But today, the specialized field surface is separating at the seams. On Tuesday night, the West Melbourne City Council may authorize a $73,117 repair contract to fix the baseball field, basketball practice area, soccer field and playground — amid questions of how and why the showcase park fell into disrepair."

"Volunteers went looking nationwide for bacteria in the waters where we most prefer to surf, swim and wade. They found almost one in five water samples exceeded safe bacteria levels.

They measured enterococcus bacteria in what's known as "most probable number" — equivalent to colony-forming units of bacteria — per 100 milliliters of marine water. A reading of more than 70 is considered poor."
