JAMIE, WHAT DID FAMILIES SAY ABOUT THIS TRAGIC DEATH? THERE, FRUSTRATED. THERE HAVE BEEN EFFORTS IN THE PAST TO REMOVE THE DAM, BUT IT맥스카지노�S STILL THERE AND BEING USED FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES. THE TEEN맥스카지노�S FAMILY SAYS CITY LEADERS NEED TO DO MORE TO KEEP FAMILIES AWAY FROM THE WATER. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE JUST A PIECE OF EVERYBODY IS MISSING, ALYSSA MALOTT SAYS. THAT VOID HAS NOT BEEN FILLED SINCE HER 14 YEAR OLD BROTHER, ANDRE EDWARDS, DROWNED HERE ON A DAM ON SILVER CREEK IN NEW ALBANY ON MEMORIAL DAY. A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES SAYS EDWARDS EITHER SLIPPED AND FELL OFF THE DAM OR JUMPED INTO THE WATER AND BECAME TRAPPED AND DIED. IT FELT LIKE A REALLY BAD DREAM, AND AT ANY GIVEN POINT, WE WERE JUST GOING TO WAKE UP ON MONDAY. LOVED ONES GATHERED AT A NEW ALBANY CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO DEMAND CHANGE FROM CITY LEADERS. THEY EXPRESSED FRUSTRATION AND OUTRAGE THAT THE MAYOR HAD NOT REMOVED THE DAM, AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS WARNING THE COMMUNITY OF THE STRENGTH OF THE WATER. IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD OR GRANDSON, WOULD YOU CLOSE THE DAM? YOU DON맥스카지노�T KNOW WHAT I맥스카지노�M GOING THROUGH. CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT ADAM DICKIE SAYS A RESOLUTION IS NEEDED. I THINK THIS COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR HAS PREVIOUSLY GONE ON RECORD WITH A RESOLUTION THAT ILLUSTRATES, IN PART, THAT THERE IS A DANGER TO STRUCTURES LIKE THIS HOUSE AND CALLING FOR, UM, MODIFICATIONS TO THAT DAM. A STATEMENT FROM NEW ALBANY MAYOR JEFF GAHAN SAYS, IN PART. THE CITY WILL CONTINUE WORKING ON IMPROVING THE SAFETY AT THE AREA, INCLUDING PURSUING IMPROVEMENTS LIKE THE ROCK ARCH DAM CONVERSION. WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT ORIGIN PARK OFFICIALS WILL UNDERSTAND AND SEE THE NEED TO MEET TO DISCUSS THESE IMPROVEMENTS WITH US, MALOTT SAYS SHE맥스카지노�S HOPING CHANGES WILL BE MADE SO OTHER FAMILIES WON맥스카지노�T HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME HEARTACHE. LOSING A CHILD IS ONE THING I DON맥스카지노�T WISH UPON ANYBODY, UM, LET ALONE JUST LOSING A LOVED ONE. AND I MEAN, HOW MANY MORE IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR SOMETHING TO GET DONE? CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT ADAM DICKIE SAYS IT맥스카지노�S UP TO THE MAYOR맥스카지노�S ADMINISTRATION TO DECIDE NEXT STEPS FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DAM.
