More ado about nothing · Guest

Just because the Mayor is inept at doing her duty does not mean that a well intentioned Board was some how oppressive. They were just eager to do their duty. I don't see where reviewing a budget or updating a P&R Master Plan is a tyrannical act, I see that as meeting responsibility.
All in the eye of the beholder I suppose.

no one was talking about the board as a whole

Neither was I. I was speaking specifically to the last two Chair Persons. Before them the Board did absolutley nothing, which I suspect may be the Boards future. Lets not forget that they are also the Tree Commission, which is fully under Councils control. Of course if the Charter was being followed the Board should be assigned to Council or the Manager not the Mayor even though she (the Mayor) is "acting" City Manager, for now.

I don't care about the TOPIC. It's a valid question and I will do my best to answer it. I can't speak for the schools but I have seen kids using the outdoor BB courts after school hours. There are some BB courts at Walker Branch. Since the permanent softball fence went up at Citizens Park it is no longer a viable place for soccer, maybe there is some space on the South end of Walker Branch. As for T-ball you might be able to use the field at Citizens Park but if it is an organized event you would have to go through the Parks & Recreation Director. We have several public playgrounds located in Citizens Park, Walker Branch Park and as I understand Lumberg Elementary School. There is Dodge Ball activity at Jefferson High on Saturday evenings the last I heard. Other than that, there are no organized youth athletic activities offered by the City of Edgewater. There are several such programs offered by Lakewood and Wheat Ridge that accept Edgewater's children. Little League, Midget Football, T-ball and Soccer.
Hope this helps.

That seems to be a problem in the den. Way to many politics and not enough honey. I love honey. Politics, not so much.

Honey Good! · Guest

We have enough real problems finding ways to deliver activities for our young people. Let's problem solve, not politics solve.
Besides, I hear you catch more bees with honey. We need lots of bees working on this issue. Happy, positive, busy bees. Bilingual bees would be especially helpful!
I recently read a report about our community. I would like to share some of it with TS readers so everyone knows what our community looks like demographically and what the challenges are when you begin to talk about how to deliver a community recreation program.
Maybe if we put our heads together we will come up with some ideas.
I'll be posting more in the near future.
