Photo: Austin Park Tree

By Howard B. Owens

At this point, most of the trees in our neck of the woods have lost their leaves.

I took this picture late Saturday afternoon.

Community members young and old came to Austin Park tonight for Batavia's "National Night Out," a chance for residents to mingle together, see old friends, make new ones, learn about public safety issues, have their children receive ID cards and play a few games and enjoy some local music.

City Police are being dispatched to Austin Park.
