" Is anybody listening? the Newspaper reports "In AmCan a Senior Center in Search of Funds” - if the community manages to raise $1.5 million, " What?? If the city manages to raise 1.5 Million? What is wrong with you people? And you are going to vote for these people?? At the last City Council meeting, I proposed that the city look to the Building Trades Council for help renovating the old police station using the apprenticeship programs, I suggested that we seek donations from Home Deport or our own local lumber yards to secure building materials. You would think that someone would even contact that fellow who does Extreme Home Makeovers on TV to help with this worthy effort to make the Senior Center a reality. Not to mention getting the whole community to buy in to this project by using the Boy scouts and Girl Scouts, even providing an opportunity for an Eagle Scout project. If our service clubs can build a playground at Donaldson Way Elementary for our kids such as was done by the Kiwanis a few years back, you would think that the Mayor who is a member of that group would lead the way on getting them to help with the Senior Center. But NO as my grandmother would say, “that’s too much like right.” Can you imagine the Leadership “Duh” of this city council wants to look for $1.5 million in this economy rather than look at less expensive alternatives? Once again I ask you where is the Common Sense, Oh I forgot my grandmother said Common Sense isn’t so Common.
Go ahead, put these pople back in office. Let’s spend more time discussing the issue rather that doing something about the issue.

" May I comment on the reporters focus on the questions Mrs. Badertscher asked Vice Mayor Cindy Coffey regarding why she did not step aside from the discussion, alleging that Coffey has business ties with Hess. And I make this comment without casting any negativity toward either Mrs. Badertcher or Mrs. Coffey.
But if she were to step aside wouldn’t the whole city council have to step aside? Don’t they, as city representatives, approve our business relationship with Hess? I mean does not the City rent from him and doesn’t he owe us the city money?
I'm just asking. And this is not a putdown I'm just following logical conclusions.

" I don't always agree with Mr. Curry, but he is right on target with this one! Well said Mr. Curry. "

" If this can possibly become a mess It will because it is in AmCan. "

" It should not matter how or who is getting the dollars for our senior center to get built, we know they have the location and move forward...remember we can move mountains, its just how you ask to move them.

Musik there is no mess here, its wonderful for the seniors, I also see it that there is light at the end of tunnel with respect to this needed facility for elders. The elliot location is a better choice for them, not the hess idea, elders need their own unique space!!!So hope many businesses and families help get this project underway by simply donating or help seek the donations by telling all, its for everyone....one day "
