Cleanup project spruces up the park
By Dave M cM echan
Spilyqy Tymoo
People from different de­
partm ents on the reservation
pitched in recently to clean up
î Elm er Quinn Park.
T h e idea for. the cleanup
came to Yvette Leecy, o f the
Forestry D epartm ent, as she
noticed the park was becoming
overrun with weeds and trash.
T he condition at the park
seemed to discourage families
from visiting thére, and instead
was leading to use o f the park
n o tify by youth who weye out
drinking after dark.
. “That’s not what the park is
for/’ Leecy said. “I wanted to
see the park cleaned up and
made more family oriented and
p eop le
friendly.”
She began to stop by to volun­
teer her time, raking up leaves
and trash, on a daily basis. 1
Then last week she helped
organize a team that worked at
the park for most o f qne day,
clearing out brush and hauling
away trash, leaves and branches.
O n hand were, Yvette and
her husband Michael Leecy, also
o f Forestry; and the Commu­
nity H elp E d u ca tio n Team
(C H E T ), inclu d ing Jo y c e
Oberiy, Anita Davis, Harvianne
