Missing Tortoise

Posted on by

Our neighbor on Shore drive has had his tortoise go missing:

“Between yesterday at 2 pm and today at 3 pm, my pet african spurred thigh tortiose has gone missing. I have a pen built behind our house that he stays in during the summer months, however, somehow he either has gotten out or has been taken out. I have had him for over 14 years now and This is a horrible thing for me. Please be on the lookout for a larger brown and beige tortoise. I am offering a reward to anyone who can help me recover my pet. I would greatly appreciate if you could please pass this on. Thank you.

Best Regards,

Adam Morgan (2633 Shore Drive)

Vandalism at Park

Posted on by

Sometime over the past weekend someone used a black permanent marker in the park to deface the plexiglas on the front of the bulletin board. Also the side and back of the bulletin board, one of the benches, and a trash can was also marked up. It appears that someone was making random figures and doodling not relating to any particular subject. Members of the CSBTS Civic League have painted the bulletin board and replaced the Plexiglas.
 
Someone must know who is responsible for this.  It is obvious that some individuals do not have any respect for property belonging to others. Parents, please remind all members of your family that use the park to please help us keep the park clean and orderly and to report anyone deliberately doing any damage. The park is for all of us to enjoy.
 
 
Please remember to call 911 if you see a crime in action and call 385-5000, option #1,  to report crimes after they have occurred or to report any suspicious activity.

Per our contact at Fort Story, the troops are now expected to arrive for an 8:00 p.m. ceremony.

So let’s start watching for them perhaps sometime after 7:00 p.m.

If you can’t get out to Shore Drive to wave and welcome them, PLEASE make a sign, and put it out on Shore Drive, hang a flag out there, tie a red/white/blue ribbon to a tree in 1st Landing along Shore Drive, anything to show these troops your appreciation.

If we receive any new info., we’ll try to get it to the website asap.

Get ready to Welcome the Troops Home!
