The Lake Worth Herald is Lake Worth's oldest business, starting in 1912. If you would like to see more of what's in this week's issue, use this link. If you would like to pick up the print edition go to the City's news stand at 600 Lake Ave across the street from Starbuck's. A nice man named Andy will assist you. Without further ado, here is this week's editorial:

     "With meetings continuing between Atlanta Braves’ Management and Local Government it appears there is still active interest in a building a stadium in John Prince Park.
     Having a Spring Training Camp for the Atlanta Braves right in our backyard will increase business opportunities in the area, creating jobs and filling restaurants in all of the communities surrounding the Park.
     It will give local youth the opportunity to interact with professional ball players and gain inspiration to become the best they can be. I remember the many trips to the former West Palm Beach Municipal Stadium to watch spring training games as a youth. We weren’t there to cause problems, we were there to learn from and emulate the players on the field.
     The players interacted with us after games and we had many opportunities to go and watch their practices, picking up pointers from them.
     Yes, a stadium will bring traffic to the area, traffic we dearly need in the business world. Traffic of people who need people to wait on them, assist them and provide the necessities they need while visiting the area to watch their favorite teams compete during the spring while they are vacationing in sunny South Florida.
      We support local government in their effort to bring Spring Training and Grapefruit League Baseball to the area, like it used to be."

This item will likely appear in the agenda at the next City Commission meeting on Tuesday, April 3rd. We'll need a big turnout to support the Brave's in John Prince Park!

Lake Worth Mayor Triolo is excited about the Braves. She would love to see a big turnout of support at the next City Commission meeting.
