Today is my last post for Woodbury Patch. It’s time to move on. Forge ahead. See what else the writing world has in store for me.
Can you believe it?! I have written more than 100 columns for Woodbury Patch since its launch in 2010. Each week I have pondered and researched interesting, educational or amusing topics for readers. That’s you. The folks who click, read and share the wanderings of my mind. Today is my last post for Woodbury Patch. It’s time to move on. Forge ahead. See what else the writing world has in store for me. I’ll take with me what I’ve learned from you. That you enjoy reading about: You are an incredibly encouraging bunch. For this, I thank you. Your enthusiastic and regular reading inspires me. I only hope that some of what I’ve written on these pages has inspired you. Writing for Patch has reinforced this wisdom—that walking through open doors …

As those involved with its genesis say, the Central Park facility was meant to be a gathering place for Woodbury. And that vision is reflected in its usage. “Central Park is a tremendous success story,” Bob Klatt, parks and recreation director, said in the October city newsletter. “We worked with multiple agencies—Washington County, the YMCA, School District 833 Early Childhood Family Education and the Stonecrest senior housing facility—to ensure the building would attract a large cross-section of the community. We are ecstatic to see so many people visit each day.” Related: A Sense of Place: 10 Years for Woodbury's Central Park Related: Central Park/Woodbury Library 10-Year Anniversary Events From youngsters and seniors …

The case is classified as an "ongoing investigation."
Below are officer comments about a suspicious activity/littering complaint at the Woodbury Public Safety Department filed on Oct. 21. The information comes from an initial complaint report and is apparently an “ongoing investigation.” While performing directed patrol efforts in the public safety break room, I located a frying pan, lid and pancake turner soiled in the sink. It appeared that an unknown public safety employee or volunteer had cooked a hamburger or similar substance and failed to wash their food preparation devices. Investigation revealed that officer Kim Richardson had washed dishes in the sink at about 0945 to 1000 hours today, indicating that the timeframe of the violation was between 1000 and 1300 hours. I washed the food …
