It seems the larger point that many were trying to make, is that it would be inappropriate to replace and fill the seat of one town council member who polarized the community with another person who is deemed equally polarizing (although for different reasons).
What Summerfield needs now is not more polarization, but an individual with a proven background in bridge building among differing polarized factions. And from the comments I have read here, that individual would NOT be Don Wendelkin.

| Do any of the self-nominating individuals who have placed their names into the hat bring forth to the town of Summerfield POSITIVE SYNERGY?

However, positive synergy is different from expertise and involvement.
-btw, this can be taken either way, good or bad. Those with expertise and involvement are not guaranteed to be positive.

| This is true, you have to weigh the pros and cons, and you must have people with different views. Both positive and negative factors help create a stronger bond. With the right individuals sitting on the council, Summerfield can change all this negativity being exhibited and get the town back operating positively. Too much energy is going toward negative criticism.

Jim-
Give me a call. I would look forward to discussing any concern you may have with Summerfield or me. I believe you would gain a better understanding of who I am. Look forward to hearing from you. My cell phone is 202-0488.
Have a good day.
Don

Don, in my humble opinion, the community would be better served if you would make a run for council in the November election. In that manner, you would have several months to visibly get out and establish yourself among constituents.
I recall you made a run during the last Summerfield election, made a run in the Guilford County Commissioners election, didn't get elected in either case, then more less disappeared off the radar screen.
I'm sure you have good intentions, but Summerfield needs more than a "submarine" candidate right now, one that surfaces when there's an open spot. Summerfield needs an established presence that has already been thru the learning curve.

I appreciate the advice and even though it may seem I have not been paying attention - I am well aware of what is and has been going on in Summerfield. Thanks again.
Don

| One of the agenda items for the mtg tonight is the right of first refusal for the laughlin primary property. IF the school board decides to not use this property, what is the opinion of SF getting the property. Also, what kind of price would be put in this sort of property deal. is it like a foreclosure?

| Bama- If the school board decides they will not need it any longer, they would come up with a figure and I am not sure what formula they will use. They could just sign it over to the town- but don't count on that. What ever the price is the town would need to ask why we need it. I am sure there would be plenty of good ideas, and of course how much can the town afford. This is my thought on the subject.

Bama,
Only a bunch of short-sighted, fiscally irresponsible nincompoops would shut down or sell a school during a time when they are preparing to ask for support of a multi-million dollar bond referendum. Based on the BOE track record - expect the school to be sold for approximately $3.58 - plus tax.

I rather felt like the gestapo had come to the town council meeting last night with Mom standing over against the kichen taking pictures of the people at the meeting. Wonder what hate filled publication these pictures will show up in? It is sad that we can not come to a Town Council meeting anymore with out worrying about what garbage will show up on the table in the back and now who and why she is taking our pictures.

It's really sad she feels the need to be that way, Jane. The poor ol' thang has made such a fool of herself and a joke of her organization. I doubt there's any reasonable person left around here who doesn't at the very least wonder what is wrong with that woman!

hmm weird. Anyone else taking pics wouldn't be a big deal but since it is her.... kinda creepy.
Oh and $3.58? I think I might put my name in for that one. I could do great things with that piece o property.

Did you all pose nicely? Tongues out, fingers over each other's heads, generally horsing around for her? 
Of course, the best reaction is probably none at all. She may just be trying to bug you..... Last edited on Apr 11th, 2007 12:51 pm by macca
