According to the web site for National Night Out, the anti-crime event, the date for such observations is Tuesday, Aug. 3.
In Plainfield, the event was championed for many years by First Ward Councilwoman Elizabeth Urquhart and more recently by First & Fourth Ward Councilwoman Linda Carter.
Under Carter's aegis, the event ballooned to several weeks one year, with competitions among wards for participation.
So what of 2010? Time is short and there is no mention on the city's web site of any preparations, although the national web site indicates that Plainfield registered for 2010.
Given the city's recent tribulations with shootings, surely an anti-crime event, if only symbolic, is in order. May we please know more?
