Break-ins and vandalism

I just wanted to let everyone know there seems to be a rash of car break-ins lately on Havelock (perhaps other streets too, but I have not heard). Our neighbour had their back hatch window smashed by a rock a week ago, and now last night my car hit – a large rock through the passenger side window, landing on the shifter console and smashing that too. Nothing was taken from the car as there is nothing to take. I doubt anyone saw anything last night, but I did want to suggest that people could post notes in their car windows saying there is nothing to take. I don’t know if that works, but it might deter someone. It looks like it was a very quick smash and grab – the door wasn’t even unlocked, and they did not search beyond the front seat area.

News And Notices 2011

From the Summer 2011 Newsletter:

Neighbourhood news:

* Campbell Park Supper and Campfire, 6.30 to 10 pm Tuesday June 14: Thanks to strong support from Ward 18 City Councillor Ana Bailao, Campbell Park's rinkhouse/clubhouse has had the staff office turned into a kitchen, with donated sinks, running water and a stove. This lets park users and staff expand the menu at the winter snack bar and cook food for community events.

To celebrate the new kitchen, Campbell staff would like to invite Campbell Park users to have supper at the park. They’ll be serving a main dish for a suggested donation of $5 and desert for $1. From staff Michael Monastyrskyj: “The donation is to cover costs, but we don't want anyone to go away hungry, so give as much or as little as you like. After dinner, roast marshmallows over the fire. And if you have a guitar, bring it along!” There is also a new bulletin board which will show neighbourhood news & history, the planned wading pool renovations, and recreation budget changes.

* MacGregor Park, campfire and coffee house, Fridays, June 17, 24 and July 1
Artist-in-the-Park Kristen Fahrig is back from her art-making trip to Rio (see her fascinating blog at celos.ca). To celebrate the completion of the MacGregor field house renovations last fall, Kristen is joining with Recreation staff and artist-storyteller Jane Wells to make some extra fun on three Friday nights in June. There will be art session for kids, 3:30 - 5:30; a Cooking Fire with food, 5.30 to 7.00 p.m., storytelling by Jane Wells, 7 to 7.30, and musicians from 7.30 to 9 p.m. Everyone welcome!
