Park’s keepers appreciated
From Edda McCormick
Cave Junction
How often do we think of our beautiful parks; who makes and keeps them that way, just for us?
At Jubilee Park, I walk my “Rescue Dog” in the early mornings and there, almost every day, I see a fellow named Doug working hard at picking up junk, papers, paper cups, candy wrappers, plastic bottles: garbage.
One morning he was standing in a mud hole, in the process of fixing a sprinkler leak, because some irresponsible person deliberately kicked over the sprinkler head.
“Kudos” to Doug, a city employee who does more than a good job of caring about how our park looks.
Who doesn’t care how lucky we are, to have a nice place to celebrate holidays, have picnics, play baseball, ride our bikes and skateboards, or just walk or sit in a clean, lovely park? “Kudos” to the other adults, teens and kids who help pick up the trash when they see it.
I appreciate Cave Junction city employees, and those who put their garbage in the available cans.
