This could be the last summer for the “old” Gulick Park. Thanks to the efforts of Friends of Gulick Park, $3 million in funding has been raised to refurbish the neglected public space along Delancey and Willett streets. During “It’s My Park” day yesterday community members gathered to spruce up the park for the summer ahead.
“I heard one girl say it was the first time she planted anything,” Dave Bolotsky, founder of Friends of Gulick Park, recounted. While kid-centered activities like face painting, sandpainting, and bike decorating were popular, gardening was surprisingly popular. Kids were enthusiastic rakers, planters, and diggers. Keegan Stephan of the organization Time’s Up was on hand to offer free bike repairs, and plenty of residents (especially kids) took advantage of the service.
Top 10 Nonlethal Weapons That Are Actually Lethal
Nonlethal weapons aren’t supposed to be deadly; that’s the whole idea behind their name. Merriam-Webster’s definition for “nonlethal” even says “not capable of causing death.”

Ferguson Police Criticized After Addict Shoots Brother in the Face
April 21, 2015
A heroine addict in Ferguson shot his brother in the face Tuesday. He was possibly high on drugs. Officers surrounded the building where the brother was shot and another location before the armed suspect was found and arrested.
Police were told the shooter was losing his mind because of drugs.
This shouldn’t have been nationwide news but it is because it’s Ferguson.
The entitled people were angry that there were a lot of police, they were angry that police were there without mental health professionals, and protesters appeared at the scene though they couldn’t possibly know why they were there.
