A new MidvaleHeights.org website is coming

Author: Tom Jarvis - Published 2026-04-12 05:40 - Expires 2026-05-12 05:40 - (4 Reads)

A new version of the Midvale Heights website is in the works. It will be built with Wix.

The initial Midvale Heights website was created in 2003, and I have been managing the site since 2004.

In 2008 I rebuilt the Midvale Heights website using Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware (https://tiki.org).

I started using Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware in 2003 and have used it for several personal websites. There is a learning curve to use it, but I highly recommend it.

Seeking Public Input: Reimagining Odana Hills

Author: Tom Jarvis - Published 2026-04-12 05:02 - Expires 2026-04-30 05:02 - (5 Reads)

The City of Madison Parks Division is excited for the new partnership with Michael and Jocelyn Keiser and the Madison Parks Foundation. Through the Keisers’ philanthropic vision and generous donation, we have an opportunity to reimagine, redesign and reconstruct Odana Hills Golf Course. The baseline course improvements will address tee boxes, green complexes and surrounds, along with some potential for routing adjustments.

In addition to the golf course improvement project, the City is planning to leverage the private donation and take advantage of the temporary closure of the property in a way that allows for public infrastructure improvements to both Odana Hills Golf Course and Odana Hills East Park.

Warning from the City of Madison

Two neighborhood associations have contacted our office requesting that we alert others about “spam” email that was received by a resident in their neighborhood. It is assumed that the scammer retrieved the name of the association president from the neighborhood association website and then directly sent it to a person living within the neighborhood. The scammer cut and pasted the neighborhood association president name into the email to make it look legitimate; however, the email address was not that of the president. The two neighborhood leaders wanted to make sure that you are of aware of it so you can act on it/inform others of this scam. Note: This same thing is happening to Midvale Heights residents!
