9th Street Park: Says there is dog poop all over the park - she is tired of cleaning it off her kids shoes. So upset over this, she has talked to dog owners who don't pick up - showed them the disposal areas, etc. Was told today "it is better I let him poop here rather than in someone's yard." Wants to know if anything can be done to these rude people.
9th St. Park: Ditch is filling up w/leaves and water. Looks bad. Hates to keep calling & complaining bu worried about rain in forecast.
Mr. Bell called very upset saying basically that on a 1998 December evening, after having an argument with someone, was arrested by a blonde-haired officer working the night shift (he named either Officer Kellams or Helms). Apparently, the person with whom he was having the argument called the police, who then detained him with handcuffs and started "beating/assaulting him." Mr. Bell had several other issues he was struggling to resolve, and has an apparent court date on 1/ 22.

Sherwood Oaks Park: Lights out.
Ms. Stanger had rented the TL lodge on 8/14/98. She decorated the lodge on 8/13 for her party. When she arrived the next day she found that someone had redecorated for an event on the 15th! Laurel called the other party and swiftly resolved the situation. Ms. Stanger thanked Laurel and was MOST grateful for all of her efforts!
Thomson park: the grass is so high in the playground sand area that kids can't use it.
