Cheney Parks & Recreation Special Olympics - Amazing Half Court Shot by Scott Tobin 03/01/2010
Last Thursday (2/26/10) a student named Anthony Priest from Whitworth University invited our Cheney Parks & Recreation Special Olympic Basketball team to play an exhibition scrimmage during the halftime of one of their college basketball games. The event was created to help build support for the local Polar Bear Plunge, which is a Special Olympic fundraiser. The Whitworth fans were incredibly supportive throughout the scrimmage as they were on their feet for most of the time and cheering very loudly for every individual on the court. At the end of the scrimmage there was a special surprise for everyone in the gymnasium as Special Olympic athlete Scott Tobin launched an incredible shot from beyond half court. Thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Tobin we are able to share the video of this experience as this was something many of us will never forget!
Parks & Recreation Update and Community Center Analysis 02/25/2010
As many of you have heard we unfortunately did not receive the super-majority required to pass the recent Park and Community Center Bond that was proposed during the last general election. Even though the bond was unsuccessful, there were still 56.6% of the community that voted in favor of the project and the vision to build the first phase of the 50 acre park. Although we approach the new year without funding; our community is still hurting from the loss of Wren Pierson, and this spring our youth sports leagues will be scrambling to find space for practices and games. As a City, we must prepare and plan for the future, and we must continue to work towards finding a solution that the community supports and addresses our community needs. Given our situation we have peformed an analysis of eight different facility options. For the results of this anaylsis please click on the link above.
