I wanted to thank the members  of the Exeter  Golf Course for letting us use the hill all these years for sledding.

There is no more sledding  at the course.

Over the holiday I got a call from Pete Kennedy “‘Hey can I borrow some sleds?” “Sure  let me find them first, call you back” It  didn’t matter that our sleds have somehow disappeared( I am ready for beach fun  requests) Pete  called me later, to say the  hill was closed. It wasn’t much of a hill  but when the kids were little it was fun.

I only just completed  the “investigation” as to why it is closed, vandalism. I got a full report from Paul  Scafidi this morning. It was substantive and it probably took some time. So, no more sledding.

Too bad .

We  really  have no vandalism problem, it’s pretty rare.

There is  nothing wrong with calling  the police  to check out   kids that may be up to mischief. You could do what adults did when I was young and handle it yourself too.Meaning you can speak to them as an adult should. I frankly would appreciate it  in Summer  on the Exeter waterfront. Our harbor master has his boat messed with from time to time. I have found some honking rocks  in my moored boat. One year a rock broke a window , it was wicked expensive and a pain to replace.Take ownership of  our/your Community, it’s a good thing.

We need a  new place for sledding.
