Re: Kid City Outdoor Camp - Broadview. Andre's son, Derek Goodman, was enrolled in the camp 1st session. He really enjoyed it and wanted to continue, however, the session was full. Mrs. Erwin was very pleased with the staff and the program. She said she & Derek were greeted each day and the staff took time to talk with them.
Suggestion: Crestmont Gardens - too much clay in soil. Wants a couple of dump trucks full of soil or composted wood chips to help aerate the soil.
YARD NEEDS REPAIRED
Commendation: Mrs. Coller called to commend Kid City and specifically a counselor, Doug McCreary, for his excellent work with her children Sara and Jonathan. She reported observing Doug when he didn't realize she was watching and he demonstrated attentiveness toward her children and had done an excellent job helping them adapt to a camp setting.
Citizen viewed a program on BCAT (Ch 3) at 11pm on 6/19/97 called "Wonder Woman". Says the program included over 40 obscenities (including 'f***ing b***h') and scenes of violent sex and rape. Does not think this is appropriate for public access. Understands the free speech issue, but thinks this violates BCAT's own policy on obscenity as described to him by a BCAT employee. He is attempting to contact Michael White.
Mr. Leiter is calling b/c he feels that there is very poor planning when it comes to sidewalks currently being installed on E. 3rd St., and in the past on Smith Road. Concrete is being placed around the mailbox posts which will rott or rust way before the concrete will erode. He is thinking of the disabled who can access the sidewalks due to the curb cuts, but then once they're on it they cannot utilize it because the mailboxes get in the way!
Abandoned auto on Hagan St.
Rental property next door to her. Owner has allowed trees to grow up along property line and branches hang over her home and yard, dropping leaves and branches, etc. She has had the expense of having the limbs over her property trimmed. She'd like for owner to be responsible for it.
NEED YARD REPAIR
There is sand, from last winter, on a two block area of sidewalk on N Smith Rd, from MorningSide Dr. N, to Grandview Dr. that needs to be cleaned off. There are a lot of bike riders in the area, and the sand could cause someone to "wipe out."
