CHRISTMAS PARTY

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:

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.
