The good news was that we finally obtained a tetherball from the City. It was hooked up a couple of weeks ago and it quickly became a popular feature in the park. And then it disappeared....
The next bit of good news was that people in the community cared enough to track down the missing tetherball and it magically reappeared about a week later. Again it was very popular. And then it disappeared on Saturday night....
Only to reappear on Sunday night. I have no clue what happened the the tetherball in the interim.
Unfortunately, today the tetherball was damaged in the late afternoon by a group of people who thought it was more fun to destroy the tetherball (and the pin affixing it to the pole) than to play with it. So now I have a broken tetherball and that will be the end of that saga until I can find another one.
The sad fate of the tetherball is one example of mischief in the park. Recently there has been word of two much more serious occurrences involving swarmings or muggings. There will be a community safety meeting on Wednesday July 6 at 8:00 pm at the Withrow Club House. The meeting, organized by Councillor Fletcher, is to bring together police, park staff and residents to do a safety walk around the park. Please make an effort to show up to this important meeting.
