AS spoken by Rohn Koester, the problem with Crystal Lake Park is not the geese, it is the Park District, and its inability to listen and speak with the community. Wow—so tonight was a perfect example of that. </span><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none">Some of us who spoke tonight, and protested today at noon by the park, really want to go ahead with protests, street theater, and awareness raising. It turns out that social distancing is really fun when we’re protesting—it makes us look like a much bigger group because we’re 6 feet apart! I miss you guys. </div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none">So tomorrow at 12 noon we’ll once again meet at park Street and Broadway for an hour, and plan and plot in between talking to the cars going past.
