Editorial note: Let’s remember – kids will be kids. As the summer holiday quickly approaches, let’s all join together to make sure there are plenty of opportunities for youths of all ages to burn off some extra energy: whether at a skatepark, a splash pad, or just a neighborhood sidewalk for hanging out and decorating with sidewalk chalk. – JM
