Plane crash at John Prince Park

Small plane that crashed in Lake Worth Beach was on test flight with new propeller, officials say

"Authorities have confirmed that a small plane that crashed last month in Lake Worth Beach was on a test flight after a new propeller had been installed.

Officials with the National Transportation Safety Board said that about a minute into the flight, the plane experienced a loss of engine power.

The pilot brought the plane down on a road near a park (John Prince Park) but clipped a car on the way down (on Lake Osborne Drive).

One person on board the plane and five people on the ground suffered minor injuries. [WPBF]

PBSO investigating Shooting Incident on Lake Osborne

'You can't do that!': Investigators looking at illegal wildlife shooting on Lake Osborne

Lynn Anderson did not know what to think when she saw a man in a boat on Lake Osborne aim a rifle toward her while she was in John Prince Park. When she saw the feathers of a Muscovy Duck fly in the air, she called 911.

"You can't do that," she yelled at the shooter at 7 p.m. on July 13. “The shooter and four others on the boat thought it was big joke. They were close enough to the park that we could talk to each other.”

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, it is a misdemeanor to harm wildlife in a county park without the permission of the park director. The part of Lake Osborne where the incident occurred is part of the 726-acre John Prince Park, which is just west of the city of Lake Worth Beach.

Airplanes hover over their homes, seaplanes land on Lake Osborne and now a boater fires into the shores of the lake trying to kill wildlife. This is enough already say residents on Lake Osborne.

Deputy Parks director Paul Connell said he cannot remember anyone ever trying to kill wildlife in John Prince Park from the lake. He said park rangers are working with PBSO to investigate the incident, noting that the county ordinance prohibits killing wildlife in a county park without the permission of the park director.

The agency has also called on the state Department of Environmental Protection and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to investigate.

the maiming, capture and killing of our wildlife has escalated over the last six months. The Park, in conjunciton with PBSP, will be installing signs around Lake Osborne and will be passing flyers at the boat ramp warning people that this is not allowed.

Illegal Activity at John Prince Park

The sorry people at John Prince Park

It is getting common place for people to ignore our laws--take the invasion at our southern border as an example.

Yesterday, I had to chase these people off the park by telling them that what they were doing was against the Park rules. I told them to get the hell out of our park or I would call the sheriff.

They did attempt a capture but the iguana got away.

If you see this Ford van around Lake Osborne, please report it if they are doing something illegal again.

He lives in Bryant Park

Homeless artist challenges stereotypes

Right now, the pavilion at Bryant Park is Hernan’s studio. He also sleeps there when he can. And he’s asking anyone out there if they might have a place for him to store his work and a place for him to work.

He used to live at Tent City in John Prince Park. I am happy that Francky Pierre Paul, who used to be a member of John Prince Park Preservation, is helping him sell his paintings.

County Mayor Dave Kerner Kept his word for John Prince Park

Dave Kerner has been very effective as mayor of Palm Beach County.

"During his four years, Kerner said he was proud of the progress the county made on homelessness, including action he led as mayor to clear out a "Tent City" that rose in John Prince Park.

The county will be building a second homeless center, and renovated the old jail stockade to give the park's homeless an alternative before county officials fenced off Tent City and moved the homeless out." [PBPost]
