<br />Mayor Kitty Piercy and Members of City Council: <br /> <br /> <br />My name is Brittany Noelle Burian and I am an eighth grade student at Prairie <br /> <br /> <br />Mountain SchooL-I, as well as other families and students here at PMS, would like to <br /> <br /> <br />bring to your attention the Golden Garden Ponds and the horrific event that has taken <br />place there. <br /> <br />This last summer, two young boys drown. Though I did not know either one of <br /> <br /> <br />them, it hurt me too. Those were two people that I could be great friends with right <br /> <br /> <br />now. Feeling this pain makes me think about how much it must hurt the people who <br /> <br /> <br />already were their friends and close to them. What about their family? Those boys, <br /> <br />Nick and Britton, were related. Someone else related to them stood there from the side <br /> <br />lines just watching them drown because there was nothing they could do. <br /> <br />Four kids have drown there in the last twenty years and I am one of the many <br /> <br /> <br />people who feels strongly about making the GG Ponds safer and put a stop to the <br /> <br /> <br />drownings. I know that we don't have complete control over what people choose to do <br /> <br /> <br />but we can help prevent them from making the wrong choices. The eighth grade and I <br /> <br /> <br />have been talking and we think that we can do something about it ourselves. Taking a <br /> <br /> <br />field trip to go and clean up the Golden Garden Ponds area and planting some trees <br /> <br />around the ponds are just a couple of the actions we could take. We figure that by <br /> <br /> <br />making the Golden Garden Ponds more of an actual garden that people will be less <br /> <br /> <br />focused on the water and more focused on the beautiful scenery and the flowers. We <br /> <br /> <br />also wanted to put up a couple signs. The one we have been pondering over the most is <br /> <br />a memorial sign with a list of names of the people who have drown there. I think thats <br />CD <br />
