The gigantic burning crosses seen last evening at Tucker Park were merely old telephone poles flagged for demolition - fire was the best way to destroy the termite-infested timber. We extend our apologies to all of the park's neighbors, especially Pawnee's N.A.A.C.P. field office.
If you know anything about the dead raccoon in the Rec Center pool, you are asked to email the Parks department immediately. Raccoons can swim, so we know it didn't die of natural causes. This was murder.

The new cylindrical steel canisters at Tucker Park are simply benign "collection tanks" being monitored for a new federal government study. Please do not mistake the canisters for trashcans though, as discarded objects and passersby could spontaneously ignite.
Pawnee is going green! Stop by Wamapokestone Park and learn how you can compost almost* anything. *Any carcasses, animal or otherwise, will immediately be turned over to authorities, and an investigation will commence.
