Some of you may have already received a (paper flyer) message from Bill Rago that the Police Training Academy will be holding a meeting with interested members of the community concerning changes in the current schedule of use of the firing range on Washington Blvd. Bill handed out his flyer to folks living in the 1200 blocks of Heberton and Winterton, but the noise from the range affects many other people in the community, both at their homes, and as they use the Reservoir, the softball field, the Farmhouse playground, and the pool and tennis courts, so I thought I would spread the word via this HPCC d-list. As many of you know, there is a long history of successful resolution of the problems with the firing range, and active community concern and input was essential in finding a balance between the needs of the Training Academy and those of the neighborhood. It is hoped that this upcoming Public Meeting will serve a similar purpose. The meeting will be held at the Police Academy, on Washington Blvd. , at 5:00 PM on Wednesday, Sept 5. (Entrance to the parking light is just north of the Negley Run traffic light) I have attached an article I wrote a couple of years ago summarizing the issues surrounding the use of the Firing Range. If you want more specific information about the Wednesday meeting, you should send a message to Bill Rago: (wmbtsm87@hotmail.com ). -David Klahr (Unfortunately I have another meeting scheduled at the same time, about another community issues, so I can't attend this one.)
