On Sunday, May 7, Kylie Schlenker of Woonsocket earned his Eagle Scout rank in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Schlenker’s final project to earn the highest rank in BSA, was a picnic shelter he constructed in the campground north of Lake Prior. He received funds to pay for the project from local businesses and community members, and the City of Woonsocket paid for anything that was not covered by the donations.

On the night of Wednesday, May 3, someone went into the public restrooms by the little league ball field in the center of Woonsocket and destroyed the paper towel dispensers, threw all kinds of things into the toilets and urinal, and made a huge mess of the facility. The bathrooms had just been opened that day for public use due to complaints received by the city about not having them open. 

In addition to the damage done in the restrooms, the culprits broke in the door of the equipment room at the ball field. Nothing appears to be missing, but it looks as though a bat was used to do some of the damage in the bathrooms. 

This crime has been reported to the Sanborn County Sheriff’s Office and is currently under investigation. If anyone knows any information about this incident, they are asked to contact the Sanborn County Sheriff at 605-796-4511.

The high school youth of St. Wilfrid Catholic Church enjoyed an end-of-year fun night with a trip to Madison that began with supper at Pizza Ranch. After supper there was lots of laughter and team-building as the youth and leaders broke into two groups at “Unlock Madison” to do the Escape Room activity. One group completed “Escape the 80s” and the other group completed “Grounded.” Both teams completed their “escape” with a time that put them on the leader’s board.
