I’ll start with a local problem and end with a news release from the Lake Davenport Sailing Club. Since I consider this a good news/bad news post I’ll start with the bad news.
It seems like vandalism is on the rise around our town. I’ve heard about problems on Marquette street and surrounding areas and now it appears it has hit closer to home. The latest in the east end seems to be punks egging houses and breaking glass in alleys. Things like this are getting old. If these punks get caught they should be made to scrub the buildings with toothbrushes until they are spotless.
Doc sent along an email from the Sailing Club and here it is-
