How Phillip Snoxell saved a stump
"I told my dad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and my dad said there wasn't much we could do," said Phillip, who is about to enter the fourth grade. "I came up with the idea of petitions."
Phillip dictated. His dad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], typed.
More than 30 kids and parents signed the petition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Phillip sent it and a letter to Mayor Chris Coleman, Council Member Russ Stark and Parks and Recreation Director Bob Bierscheid.
"When we play in Langford Park, kids say, 'meet us by the stump' and we play games around it," Phillip wrote in his July 27 letter. "Please save our stump."
This letter caught Coleman's eye, and he called Bierscheid to see what could be done. If it's safe, the mayor said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it should stay.
The stump at one time was a full-grown basswood tree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], about 50 or 60 years old. Four years ago it became infested with bees that stung several people. The city tried to get rid of the bees,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the only successful way was to cut the tree down.
No more bees. No more tree. But a glorious stump.
A perfect location
The stump isn't far from the picnic tables,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which aren't far from the bandstand.
Many of the edges are rounded,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], probably from the weather, playful squirrels or the kids' sneakers. A ring of packed dirt separates it from the grass.
Usually the city removes stumps for safety or aesthetic reasons. Now and again folks will request that a stump stay put,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], say in a boulevard garden, but this might be the first plea to save a stump for playtime,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said Brad Meyer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], parks and rec spokesman.
Indeed, the stump is in fine shape and poses no health risks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], by parks and rec's estimation.
Good news with a coda
On July 31, Bierscheid sent Phillip an e-mail telling him that the stump would stay.
"We are thrilled that you enjoy using the park and from now on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that will be officially referred to as 'Phillip's Stump.'"
It will stay as long as it's not a hazard to people who use the park,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Meyer said. "This is an opportunity grass wouldn't give the kids."相关的主题文章:
