Hi folks, I'm writing to you all about the scoretower at Winslow Sports Park during youth baseball games. I've been going to the ballpark for 8 years, and have kept score during games many times. There is a rule clearly posted in the tower that says that people under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The BJLBA rule is, I believe, that the visiting team is required to supply someone to run the scoreboard. Many times when I am up in the scoretower, I am the only adult there, but there are many kids running around unattended. Some of these kids are quietly keeping score for a game. Many are running around. I have seen them almost fall out of the window reaching for things that fell on the roof below. I have seen them leaning out to talk or throw things at their friends. I have seen them sitting on the ledges and wrestling. I have seen them standing on the folding chairs. Sooner or later, someone is going to fall out of one of those windows. When I am up there, I don't like the feeling that I am responsible for all those kids. I realize that legally perhaps I am not responsible, but if they are being wild up there, I do feel responsible. If kids are up there without adult supervision, I usually send them down. Today another mother complained, saying that she (and her coach) had told her kids to go up there and keep score and that they do it many times. Another day a kid told me that the Parks and Rec supervisor had said he could go up (and he was one of the rowdier ones). I personally can't distinguish between who is going to do dangerous things and who isn't, and when I am trying to concentrate on keeping score, I don't like trying to keep an eye on a bunch of kids at the same time. If you all think that I am being unreasonable, then I suggest that you change the rule about unaccompanied kids in the tower. My other suggestion is that BJLBA remind coaches and umpires that the visiting teams need to provide an adult to run the scoreboard. Thanks, Deborah Deliyannis

It appears that a tree in Bryan Park was struck by lightning last night. It is a large one, split right down the middle of the trunk. This is on the southwest corner of the tennis courts. I wanted to let you know in case it's a safety concern.

Hello, My name is Grant Seifers. I have lived at 2104 E. Arden Dr. for almost my entire life now, I am 23, and Southeast park has always been a big part of my life as a park that I could always use and take pride in living so close to! That being said, I still live at the same house I grew up in because I am an IU student trying to save money. My friends and I still use the basketball courts and yesterday we noticed that their age was really showing. The goals are very out of date and probably original to the courts being made, the rims are bent, one goal is missing a net, and one of the goals is bent altogether. I did notice a few years ago the court was re sealed and painted, but no notice was given to the actual goals. which is pretty important also. It would be awesome to see new goals put in place before summer gets here, because a lot of people would be thrilled to see that. Also putting in metal bleachers or some kind of seating would be really great to see! Thanks for hearing me out, and hopefully we can look forward to playing on some nice goals this summer in the park!

Good morning! I just want to be sure you are aware that one of the courts here is still unusable. The net that has been up all winter is still fine. The net that was just re-installed a couple of weeks ago has collapsed. With the warmer weather, these courts get a lot of use and I know a bunch of us would be delighted to have both courts in play. Thanks!

Hi, I would like to know who to contact to discuss removing dog waste from Ferguson Dog Park. I own a pet waste removal company and would like to submit a proposal to keep the park clean. Thank you,
