SKATEBOARD PARK WAS FOCUS OF CRIME WATCH MEETING
The November
meeting of Amity Crime Watch focused on reviving
the Amity Skate Park Committee. Amity
Police Chief Kent Shubrooke spoke to the group
stating his concern for inaccurate information
in an article published by a local newspaper.
He wanted the group to understand that so far
there have only been 15 incidents reported
regarding the skateboard park which is not
atypical at this point in the calendar year.
There is no rash of crime created by this
facility. Also he said that he was unaware
of any plans to close the park.
Mr. Brent Frampton
also spoke to the group about reviving the
Skateboard Park Committee. He had been
involved with this when his children were
younger, and remains interested.
However there is a real need for new parents and
other interested citizens to become involved.
He cited the many positive recreational and
social aspects of the skateboard park
skateboard. He discussed how the park came
into being, and how original committee and local
authorities sought funding for construction of
the present facility. He pointed out that
Amity had limited funds through a grant which
restricted the size and scope of the skateboard
park. He believed that a reenergized
committee could eventually enhance the
current facility. Mr. Frampton encouraged
everyone to go to:
amityskatepark.homestead.com
to learn more
about it. After his presentation he met
with interested individuals in order to develop
further plans. Another meeting is planned
for January 2010.
Officer Gauby also discussed recent incidents in
the township. A brief business
meeting followed the presentation.
