Correction

I need to make a correction and apologize to Corning Parks and Rec Department about assuming the pond at Denison Park was their responsibility. I got a very nice call from their Director yesterday that let me know that the DPW has been in charge of the pond since 2000. I am not sure why that shift took place, but it did and so Corning Parks and Rec has no authority over the pond. I apologize to them. But my original thought still stands. Corning is beautiful, as are its parks, and the pond should not look like it does. Does the DPW need help? Looks like it.

Another addition- Boy, did this post get WAAY more attention than I had ever anticipated, but it was good. I got a call yesterday from Tom Giambrone, the head of Corning's Buildings and Grounds. He wanted to let me know that they are, and have been, working hard to get the pond in better shape. He also mentioned that he would use my help in cleaning up the debris that keeps finding its way in the water. John Boat, here I come! Even though I didn't have any intention of making anyone's job more difficult, apparently it happened and I'm sorry for that, but I am glad that the issue was brought to light and that the pond is on it's way to looking better. Thanks Kris Pashley and Tom Giambrone for handling things in such a professional and friendly manner too.
