the new norm is to defer you to your insurance. Once you file, you’re rates will skyrocket because it is considered a single vehicle collision and that makes the driver 100% at fault.
I’ll just limp my vehicle or tow it if need be to the nearest dealer and take it from them. At least the dealer smiles and offers a coffee when they take my money.

How we almost lost the Esposito Park ice rink this week

Taking the pump track out, as well? What do we have for extra curricular? Not every family can afford to enrol their child in a program and other than fishing and hiking… we don’t have a lot. Not all families in the that area can afford to bus to another rink. I have considered security issues, however, ppl don’t usually bother children. The problem would likely be ppl using the facilities (heated lace-up room) for a purpose other than its intended use, potentially leaving hazardous material in their wake. This is a high crime, low income area and I believe we need that rink in our community.
It has been a part of winter activities in the area for decades.
