<br />Mayor Piercy and The Eugene City Council: <br />I am Keir Tasa an 8th grade student at Prairie Mountain School. I'd like to bring <br /> <br /> <br />to your attention that the Golden Garden Ponds aren't safe. You can't call it a city park if <br /> <br /> <br />it's not safe. Five boys have drowned there in the last 40 years. Even if one person had <br /> <br /> <br />died there it would still, be a big problem. <br /> <br />I have some solutions for the safety problems. You could rope off an area for <br /> <br /> <br />swimming and clean that place up. You could give the ponds banks so if someone <br /> <br /> <br />accidentally fell in they could get out. You could put a rail around the ponds so if <br /> <br /> <br />someone tripped they wouldn't fall in. there are so many things you could do but the <br /> <br /> <br />question is will you do them. <br /> <br />Imagine it was one of your kids who had drowned, then would you do something. <br /> <br /> <br />The parents of the kids are feeling the grief you would be feeling if it were your kid. Do <br /> <br /> <br />you want this to happen again this summer or do you want to stop it. It's your choice. Are <br /> <br /> <br />you going to make this your #1 priority instead of your number #5? <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Keir Tasa <br />
