City hit a foul ball

Editor:

Totally out of character to do something like this, but curiosity is consuming this cat's mind. A short time ago, two, maybe three years now, a project was presented to the community of Thompson Falls. This project was aimed at helping provide a place for our youth to have the opportunity to play the greatest game in American history known as baseball. The need for financial support, volunteers and resources was presented to the public in building a baseball field on Mount Silcox Drive.

At the onset, financial and labor assistance was given to this project from many people, businesses and volunteers. Work progressed and the field was built along with a chain link fence and other groundwork. However, this is where it went south and someone or something caused the project to cease. I have heard talk from people wondering what has happened with the money that was given to this project and seeing now that it's just left in an unfinished state.

I feel that the public and supporters at least deserve an updated report from someone on what it will take to obtain completion of this project. Do they need renewed help, volunteers or more financial assistance? This is not a letter of condemnation but a letter requesting communication to the public to let us know what is happening with this stalled project. It's time to “play ball” and get this project finished.
