Vicki, could you elaborate on this statement? What are the problems people are having with AquaNC? Are the citizens of OR expressing the same concerns as those of Stokesdale? Thanks

I haven't heard anything recently, but for a long time I'd hear from folks who live along Haw River Road that they were not happy with the quality of their water.... There may have been other issues as well, but this is the one I remember.

| Yeah but those who moved their conflicts to the second Tuesday now may not be able to attend. Never a perfect time.

Does anybody know what Mom was rantin' about with her political sign rant? It sounded a little more fanatical than usual to me, if that's possible. And it is.
I also wouldn't be surprised if she might be plannin' to shoot Michael Brandt with a knock-out dart, implant a radio transponder device under his skin, then turn him loose unharmed so she can track his movements fer her on-goin' scientific research. I think she might be secretary of the Scientific Taxpayers of Upper Nabobbia this week.
Where are you right now, Michael?
How 'bout now?
OK, how 'bout now?

Jane please let me know if you need a contribution to the 'No To Armfield' sign fund. I would be more than happy to contribute.
I second that!
Surely with all that wood Pappy has had Mammy choppin' there is enough scraps to make some darn good signs!!! I can help with the spellin'!
Well, if she reads what we write (and we know she does -- EVERYBODY does!!) -- maybe this is what got her goin'!!!

Yee Haw! Come on down, Macca. I guarantee you'll enjoy the show.
It seemed purty obvious BS, DC an' Mom were graspin' at straws last night, lookin' fer any negative dirt clods they could think up to chuck at the park an' whatever else they didn't like.
Good answers from Michael Brandt an' from the COG grant writin' lady, who at one point, answerin' Becky's obstinate denial of documented support for phase 2, said "I'm not making this up." Yee Haw!

Oo oo I know Pappy! She was upset because the town planner has a BJ Barnes sticker on her car. Is that crazy or what??????
She now wants the town to dictate what the town employees have on their personal cars. I say that when the town provides vehicles for the staff to drive they can then dictate what stickers are placed on the cars.
I think she's just mad cause her man, Blanks didn't win. I reckon Robin's sticker probably won the election for ol' BJ.

I am once again amazed that BS can be so nasty. She makes the town look like a bunch of angry, nasty trash talking people. I agree that what Summerfield Properties did seemed a little under handed with the deeding of the park land but did she have to dress down their lawyer in public. Wouldn't a "hey you guys didn't follow procedures so you are going to deed the land back to Summerfield Properties until we get this settled" served the same purpose. And what was that comment about if Mrs. Armfield's trust had 15 million dollars then BS guesses she could just dig the Armfield Development out of their hole. And I guess unless you are a like thinking person like BS then don't be discussing any town business with her. She made a comment before they voted to continue armfield that she didn't want any solicitations from contractors, developers, or builders (even though 2 builders live in armfield). I can certainly understand her saying I will not be taking any calls at home about this re-zoning. I have heard what I need and now I need to study the information, but instead she attacks the very people that live and work in our town.
She also wrote down everyone that spoke company's name so I guess she can run back to the secretary of state's website to see if they are in good standing. Is this the kind of council person that people wanted and voted for? I hope they re-think for the next election.
And we have just got to put a stop to Mom using public hearing time to spout off on her own agenda. In any other public hearing I have been to if the speaker doesn't stick to topic then they are called down and asked to sit down. All those people that were there at the council meeting for the first time and didn't stick it out for the park discussion now think the new amphitheatre is 1 million dollars. That needs to be stopped.
Okay off my soapbox.

Yea, and Dana Luther made a good point when BS started spoutin' the approximate 1,000 per month maintenance costs that have been incurred so far. Dana made it clear that there were some capital costs (costs left over from the building of the park) carried over and that is why maintenance costs have been so high in recent months. This is the kind of thing that needs to be made public in order to combat the numbers that are being spouted by the concerned citizens.
One of the dirt clods Strickland flung about was that we could use the 11.6 million dollar amphitheater that is being built by triad park instead of building one of our own. How convenient.

Wow! I've not been to a Summerfield Town Council meeting, but I've been to lots of other public meetings, and you're right.... The chair of the group would definitely point out to the person that they were out of order and tell them to be seated. If they did not, then there are other options available in a public meeting to assure that they comply with the rules...

Since when did it become the Summerfield Town Council's responsiblility to police the NCSOS (secretary of state) website? Isn't that why we have a SOS office??? Don't you think if the business is doing something wrong, the SOS will handle it? Isn't that what they are there for? Why not just cut costs by doing away with the SOS and let BS handle it??? Puhleese.

I don't really know where to post this, and it's not worthy of a new thread so I'll just ask it here.
Jane or Mike or somebody please explain why folks are so upset about the Hoskins house (Yost and Little office). I personally think the house is lovely now (with the exception of the ugly newsstand on the front porch) and I have never really understood why folks are so upset about it.
