was just the latest in a string of incidents that had them questioning the safety of the park. Staff recommends park compromise Continued from page 1 dents were concerned that it They came to council hoping to get approval for a security light for the tot lot in the park to help allay some of those fears, but council deferred the deciâ€" sion until almost the end of the school year to survey neighbours and the immeâ€" diate community about the preferences for the park. This was in addition to a special meeting the stuâ€" dents held in their commuâ€" nity where the majority of respondents supported a security light. Tim Anderson, the direcâ€" tor of public works, said that after consultation staft decided to recommend not putting any additional lightâ€" ing in the park. He said that the city‘s practice is not to light play areas, which are supposed to be offâ€"limits after dark, and that 65 other playâ€" grounds across the city are also unlit. There was a concern expressed by Mayor Herb Epp at the April 11 meeting about the effects installing a light at Sandowne Park would have on the other parks in Waterlo0. Staff has, however, come up with a compromise for Sandowne Park which might address some of the students‘ concerns. It includes trimming or reducing the existing foliage surrounding the play area to allow for more street light penetration of the park. "There could be some other minor tweaks to the park to help in that regard." said Anderson. "I think it could work in this situaâ€" tion." Shari Kartechner‘s Grade 576 class, who spearheaded their school‘s response to the tragedy, said they aren‘t satisfied with the comproâ€" mise and plan to voice their concerns at Monday‘s counâ€" cil meeting. "Even if they decide not to put in the light and do some other things, T‘l still Meals on Wheels of Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo is asking people to conâ€" sider joining the volâ€" unteer force to deliver meals and a smile to seniors and people livâ€" ing with a physical or mental challenges. â€" their homes by deltvâ€" ering a meal to their The service helps these people stay in always want the light in the wt." said Lana Plaff. 12 "When you drive by the park at night, you can‘t see the playground â€" even with the street light; so it‘s not going to make much of a differâ€" ence if they just cut back trees." Trimming back the existâ€" ing trees will also take away from some of the natural attractions of the park. including its abundance of shade during the day, said 12â€"vearâ€"old Daria Vela. "It would be so stupid to cut down nature when you could put something up instead of destroying parts of the tree." "The trees are not the problem," said Shamsi ".. I think that‘s a reasonable solution." sn t ine hn 24 Seaan in TT 76 ASOR @ESA m RPAWR cegmatcaties taves, osmcance UNnivEAR®SITY 0F waATERLOO For more information, contact Marsha Wendell, Program Coâ€"ordinator 888â€"4567, ext. 5939, ace@watarts.uwaterlo0.ca, http:/arts.uwaterlo0.ca/ACE â€" Ann Wilkinson concerned neighbour All that‘s missing are wings. | _ INAINIMM3S Sedan _ | _ The new Infiniti M35.

"And how do they know there will be enough light to shine on the park?" The kids said they‘re still committed to fundraising for a security light, despite their upcoming summer break and the fact that most of them will be at senior public school next year. Some even participated in a park cleanup, organized by their parents, that disâ€" posed of beer bottles, vanâ€" dalism and signs of drug use at the back of the park. "We‘re prepared 10 do whatever we can to help," said Sarah Mukhtiyar, before a unanimous show of her classmates‘ support for furâ€" ther action. For residents who back un to the park, concerned about the possibility of a light. the staff report is a fair compromise â€" as long as it didn‘t mean the removal of any trees. Ann Wilkinson said a street light adequately lights up her property at night and should do the same for the play area.
