Hey let everybody know the Parks meeting on 1/12 is still on. Lets go show those Sparcies (Summerfield Park Assoc is all I know) that we not only want the Summerfield Park up and going but we want more recreation areas for our town.

| Thanks for the info, Jane. Love the new avatar. I liked the old one too. Made me think of spring and diggin' in the dirt.

Since Dwayne and Becky claim to be in touch with the people, how about they actually get in touch with some of us people outside their little group and actually find out what we want? Why don't they join the forum or by some other means explain to the people their reasoning behind some of their recent decisions: Bill Trevarrow's needlessly humiliating public excoriation, NO on saving money on the park equipment the people wanted, YES on spending money on a new sound system the people didn't want, YES to going out of their way to spend more money than they needed for their training? Instead of tearing everything apart, why don't they help build something? Instead of always being negative, why don't they offer something positive? Instead of working against, why don't they work with?
All I've ever heard from either of them is summed up in that lop-sided load of manure they mailed out before the election which was absolutely insulting to anybody with a brain. We deserve better leadership from them! We deserve better explanations from them!
I'm beginning to think Dwayne and Becky don't care what anybody else thinks.

| I agree with you Pappy, I would like to know how their decision were made and what hard facts they have to back them up. I believe we deserve an answer as we are citizens of Summerfield and they are our Council.

All members of the council are representatives of the people. Since Summerfield doesn't have districts or zones, certain council members don't just represent certain citizens. They all have a responsibility to listen to their constituents and do their best to represent them.
I'd encourage residents to contact all their council members (including those who may not necessarily share their views) and make sure those representatives know how you feel. Email addresses are listed below and I think phone numbers are in the phone book or are available from town hall unless someone on this site has them and would like to share.
Mark Brown, Mayor
edard48@bellsouth.net
Dena Barnes, Mayor Pro Tem
denabarnes@triad.rr.com
Carolyn Collins, Council Member
nursecty@aol.com
Dwayne Crawford, Council Member
jcrawford@triad.rr.com
Becky Strickland, Council Member
stricklandbecky@hotmail.com
Bob Williams, Council Member

I just ran across a very applicable quote by a former representative:
"You have to listen to as many citizens who are willing to take a stand on a issue. We will never hear from everyone or even a majority. Live by your vote and die by your vote. Just do the what is best for the town." - StewartM, on the Substation forum page
Thanks Mike.

I talked to DC yesterday. He has decided to attend the Rocky Mount class, but will defray the travel, lodging, & food expenses himself. Therefore the Rocky Mount Class will not cost the taxpayers anymore than if he attended the GSO class.
I have not talked to BS, DC did not want to comment for BS, so I do not know what her plans are.

BRAVO DWAYNE!
I know that sounds quite unusual coming from me, but I think it's a good thing he's done. Shows he's listening to the people.
I like to think that he would have done this on his own, without the public outcry, but I don't know. Time will tell.
Let's wait and see what B.S. does about her "Hawaii" trip.
That ought to be interesting.
