Roscoethe RoosterRoscoe the Rooster made Takoma Parkhis home for 10 years, staking his territoryon the lawn in front of and behind theapartment houses near Mark’s Kitchen onCarroll Avenue. Roscoe roamed the cityand had many neighbors protecting him.Unfortunately, Roscoe was involved in ahit and run in February 1999. A life-sizedstatue of Roscoe the Rooster, crafted bylocal artist Normon Greene, stands on a

pedestal in front of the clock tower in thecenter of downtown Takoma Park.

Roscoe will make special appearances throughout the Guide to highlight important information.

Recreation Committee

Volunteer spotlight: Kay Daniels-Cohen

The Recreation Department would liketo thank Kay Daniels-Cohen for herdedication of time and talent. Not only

is she a Council Member for Ward 3 inthe City of Takoma Park, but she is abeacon of progress for the communitythrough her active involvement inrecreational activities.

Kay has been a resident of the Cityof Takoma Park since 1946 and hasbeen volunteering since she was a

child. She inherited the passion forvolunteering from her mother andbegan this community service asa Brownie Scout, Girl Scout, andlater as a Mariner Scout. She alsoserved her community while attendingTakoma Park Junior High School andMontgomery Blair Senior High School.

She has continued her volunteerservice through programs and events

held by various organizations inTakoma Park, including the RecreationDepartment. She has become anicon during City events because she

always dresses as an embodiment ofIndependence Day – glitter, sparklesand all. It may come from the fact

that her favorite recreation memorygrowing up in Takoma Park is that ofthe 4th of July parade and watchingher mother imitate Tiny Tim each year.

Kay’s flamboyant optimism forlife and community activism is anexemplification of the Department’smission to strengthen the communitythrough recreation. Kay says, “I ama strong advocate because recreation

is how you get to people’s hearts.Through recreation people learn toshare, respect others and care aboutothers.”
