3-2
Crawford was arguing semantics (again) because the term "heavily used" was on the grant application. He wants to "watch and wait" to see if the park continues to get the use that it has gotten since the opening and doesn't want to say that the park is heavily used. He says that he gets calls from people stating that the park is not being used.
Strickland went off on maintenance costs and stated that the people of Summerfield (The same people who she thinks aren't smart enough to understand her reasoning on other issues) did not understand that there would be maintenance and upkeep costs involved if Phase II was approved. Michael Brandt corrected her and said that it wasn't fair that she made the assumption that people don't understand. He said something to the effect that if people choose to have the town make improvements then the people, as a general rule, understand that there will be additional upkeep costs incurred.

If Mayor Brown hadn't called time on her, I reckon we might have had a $100 million NASCAR track with Shamu the Killer Whale a-jumpin' out yonder in the pond.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, last night was my first foray into a Summerfield Town Council meeting, and I just wanted to say Thank-You for (1) letting me attend and (2) for tipping me off over the course of the past few months in advance about 'Mom' and the two CC members. You were all pretty much right on target in your assessments and descriptions of both.
I must say that I was able to pick Mom out of the crowd before she ever sat down right before the beginning of the meeting, based on the descriptions you good and kind folks from Summerfield had shared here.
When she did speak on the Armfield matter, your previous stereotypes were completely correct as well.

Does anybody besides me wonder where all the support that the cc's claim to have is when these votes come up. I guess they are too dumb to understand the concepts also.
I find the constant references to the people in Summerfield not understanding to be so demeaning. Even Dwayne said something last night about the people not understanding. I think the people understand perfectly well that they live in a wonderful area of North Carolina with extemely low taxes and 3 council members who have a vision for trying to make this a better place for us all and future generations.
I do not understand why Robin ( bless her heart because what would the town do) stays. She is treated much like the massah in the big house use to treat the field hands. Robin has proven herself to be a very capable professional member of staff and to have people talk to her the way Mom and the two chicks do is just a further example of how far we have gone away from southern civility in today's society. Very sad!

| I just got a chance to read my NWO. I think Patti"s editoral on central Park in New York is such an important lesson. I know the Guilford Battleground thought they had a huge park years ago when it was developed and now they are buying up the land contiguous to the park as it becomes available because the park is too small for the amount of use it is getting. People in New York had a vision when they developed Central Park and I am sure they had their fair share of nattering nabobs of negativity but the visionaries plugged on. Jan McLean's review of Dr. Sellars survey was very enlightening. Please those of you on Town Council with the vision plug on for us and our future generations.

Pappy agrees. The short-sighted nabobs don't care nuthin' 'bout us now or in the future. The feelin's mutual. I'm lookin' forward to the day when that bunch is nuthin' but a embarrassin' memory.

| Good News!!!! The bricks are slated to be ordered on 2/14/07. There are still a few available bricks if anybody is interested. Get in touch with Town Hall. Can't wait. Forgot to ask how long it would be before we got them.

| Hey Jim welcome to Summerfield's version of politics. 3 to 2 almost all the time. Also, almost every meeting a rude speaker from the crowd speaking out of order. Then someone rambling on a subject leading nowhere. Another 3 to 2 vote, then a rude comment to and about the good citizens of Summerfield, a closed session, and meeting adjourned. Next meeting you attend, look for me .

| If I'm not mistaken, today is the day the park grant application has to be turned in to the state.

It was brought to my attention this philanthropist looks for unique items that apply to children. It might be worth our while to apply for a grant to fund part of the ampitheatre????? what's the worst he can say..........No ????
