Since the accident, Katie hadn t spent an entire week at school due to frequent doctor appointments and lingering pain. Sometimes she attended school just to practice with the band. Every year, the Palmerston North City Council removes wood from the Manawatū River to reduce the risk of flooding, which is then burnt in bonfires at Ahimate Park to mark Kōanga with Rangitāne.

Katie Brunn fell in an unmarked and unfenced firepit. She needed to apply ointment to her burns 3 times a day. The accident happened in February on a dying bonfire created by members of the public. At the time, Katie said the wood hadn t been hot, but the sand beneath it was scolding.

There is a path along the rail, and we ve still got ourselves a horse race, Henry said during the board s monthly meeting, comparing Arlington s chances to a horse that was 20 lengths back but rallied to win the Kentucky Derby.

I know very little about the real estate market of Arlington Heights. I wonder what value a restrictive covenant is to that racetrack site up there. At the same time, I still want to visit that track up there and especially if it’s in operation.
I wouldn’t get my hopes up. As we’ve seen with the pending Tribune sale, the current owners will do what they want to do. And, in this case, the owners don’t want a gaming site anywhere near their Des Plaines casino.
The new Chicago casino won’t be much further than arlington heights is.

Former Arlington Park President Roy Arnold, who left the racetrack more than a decade ago to pursue other business opportunities, is leading a group of developers and investors in a bid to purchase and redevelop the property, while preserving live horse racing there.
The group s proposal calls for the grandstand and racetrack to remain in place at the sprawling 326-acre site in Arlington Heights, while relocating and constructing a new backstretch stable and adding a hotel and entertainment district, as well as industrial, retail and residential components.
I ve always felt on my bucket list there was this unfinished business in helping racing get to a sustainable, long-term business model, Arnold told the Daily Herald Tuesday. If this is some small way I can help push that in the right direction, I m happy to lend my support to the effort.
