Zip, I forgot about the smell at Food Dog. OH MY, man you are in for a real treat if you park on that left hand side. I came out of there one time when I parked on that side by mistake and when I got home my asparagus had curled up onthe end. OH YEAH that is bad.
Macca why don't you ask Sadies to expand and open a shop over here, perhaps beside F Dog, or Belco.
OK I am going to go play outside as Jane requested. I will be tossing ink pens if anyone needs me.

Macca, Please excuse me. I did not mean to offend you or any of the other good citizens of Stokesdale. I just remember Cracker educating us on the unpleasant odour of guano.
You are quite fortunate to have an establishment such as Sadie's. Maybe she would consider opening up satellite offices at the Oak Ridge shopping center, in the Food Lion shopping center, and perhaps that would be a good use for the Hillsdale Brick Store now that it is vacant. That might kill two birds, I mean horses, with one stone, er, bat. (Not to be confused with the kind of bat that guano comes from.)

Oh, no! Is multiple personality contagious? Have you been hanging out with Fat Pappy/Blonde24?
I saw that "Euson" was logged on and thought maybe you'd done that on purpose in order to comment on the CC's!

| I see EUSON/Lacka stole my idea for Satellite Sadie's! At least I'm not having an identity crisis and forget who I am. I am glad that you (and others) simply throw pens and not lawn darts.

Yeah, you guys come on over and hang out in Stokesdale any time any of those other places get too smelly! I'm sure Sadie would love to see you. You could just tell her you came to check out the sweet aroma emanating from her locale.... I guess you could also try to convince her to open up satellite operations, but don't you dare try to get her to leave us! That's just another one of the secrets that makes Stokesdale so special!

Here's a quick recap of what the ONLY Speaker from the Floor, Ms. Gail Dunham said....
(For those who weren't there and those who don't frequent M.A.A.N...)
Someone else who was there, please correct me if I got any of my facts skewed...
Her speech definitely appeared to have been scripted...perhaps even penned by the pen thrower herself???
(The following is not written in her exact words, verbatim, quoted, etc.)
She stated that the time for name calling was over and that there had been instances where she and others had been "called names" and had been accused of disruptive behavior, i.e. yelling, at various town council meetings. (imagine that....)
She stated that she had evidence of this "name calling" in writing, (threat?..so?) however, she did not present this evidence to the council...top secret I guess.
She asked for a review of the tapes from previous council meetings to SEE if indeed any "yelling" had taken place.
Now, I am ASSUMING that these tapes will be provided to her (by some staff member that we are paying) and she and "who ever" will be allowed to review the tapes. PURSUANT of course to the FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT..bwaa bwaa bwaa
Side questions>>> Jane or Mike, how does that work? Will the taxpayers have to foot the bill for copies of these tapes for her to review so she can prove to herself that she is disruptive (mild terminology used here so as not to offend) at council meetings? Does one of OUR employees have to forgo other town business to dig out the copies, make copies of these tapes, or papers therefore doing this on OUR payroll? If not, is she allowed to remove the tapes/documents requested from the town premises? Are we paying someone to oversee her while she reviews these tapes/documents?? When she requests the bajillion copies pursuant to the noted F-O-I-Act, does the town foot the bill for those too?

The Crackah asks that Ms. Dunham please save us a dime and quit wasting the TIME of our paid staff!
In other words....
GET OVER IT!!!!
If you can't take the HEAT get out from behind the podium baby!!!!
The concerned citizens have been the ring leaders in any name calling that has gone on in this town.
Here's a little time saving hint for Ms. Dunham, and possibly the town employee assigned to assist her in her quest for information... Begin your review with the meeting where the cc's all wore their silly yellow (and by the way, VERY UGLY) "don't tread on me T-Shirts"
Hello? Fashion Police??

Well, Cracker Jax! Whew! Is her "proof" on the pages of the NWO forum?
Re: Freedom of Info Act and what must be provided her (or anyone): I have reviewed the Open Meetings Laws on several occasions, but am by no means an expert. It is my understanding that information must be made available during regular business hours and that citizens may come and review it on premises. In terms of (paper) copies of materials, I think the person making the request can be charged for the printing costs but ONLY printing costs. I guess that would hold true for copies of audiotapes as well. I don't know what the law requires in terms of how quickly staff would have to provide copies if that was what was requested. It would be easier for Ms. Dunham or anyone else to just schedule a time to review the materials at town hall during regular business hours.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are they required to allow her to remove official materials from the premises.
Hope this helps!

Thank you Vicki for that information... Now I just need to find out if they are indeed being charged for the endless copies and how much time our paid town employees are devoting to their rabble rousing.
I wondered that myself, if her evidence was found on these pages, however, to my knowledge Ms. Dunham has not been called any names on here... and our OPINIONS as to her behavior.
I do try to report factual information that others might have missed at a council meeting, however, sometimes those Cracker editorials just slip right in!
Furthermore, according to the ACLU letter presented at council last night and in accordance with the United States Constitution, Our ability to speak our minds about matters of public concern is protected, even if it is not what the government wants to hear.

Cracker Jax,
I just wanted to make sure you understood that I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with what's been posted here.... I was just speculating that maybe some of what has been posted here might have bothered the CC's and their supporters.... I wasn't there last night and only know what I've read here, so I don't know anything. Just speculating!

The town is under no obligation to answer questions from every citizen. The documents are at Town Hall for whoever wants to see them. I feel Ms. Dunham and anyone else should do their own research.

Crackah- The Town charges for the paper copies. At one meeting the cc's requested the Town not charge them but to no avail. the don't pay for the time of the employees that is spent finding the information that is requested. You and I and all the other tax payers pay for thatYou left our a very entertaining part of the message from the speaker last night when she suggested the we drive around in our cars listening to the tapes of the meetings. That we would fid it a leraning experience. Personally I would just as sooon listen to finger nails being drug down a chalk board as rehash the endless meetings. That is what I have elected officials and staff for. Also if i had that kind of time on my hands I would volunteer to make a positive difference in my community and get that park built.
Which brings up another thought. Did we rename the park? I thought it was the Summerfield park not the 911 park. That's in New York isn't it?

Another thought about the meeting last night. what up with the cc who is offering to upgrade the speaker system for the meetings. The current system is just a couple of years old and i just can't imagine that a cc would spend the "illegally" gotten tax money on something as frivolous as that.
