Yep! It would be great for end of year picnics and such... They stick classes all over the place to have those kinds of functions and a park where the families could spread out would be nice.

Yeah, when Stokesdale finally starts developing its land, that could benefit the school as well... The town bought 25 acres almost 2 years ago, and it backs up to land behind the gym.... But the way Council moves, all my little ones will be in college by the time anything gets developed!!!!  Some towns go fast, but ours could never be accused of that.... Slow and deliberate... Sometimes you wonder if they don't make a decision just so they won't make the wrong one....♥♥♥

Decisions.... Interesting how our Tri-town areas differ so much....
SD is slow.... OR is speedy quick and SF goes backward...

Too true, too true!!! Another one of those truths I've learned from the forums! It's almost as though, if we could combine all three we'd come up with one pretty strong one!♥♥♥
I'm teasing!!! We've got some really good folks serving our towns -- I sure wouldn't want to be in any kind of public service -- a thankless job!!!
To paraphrase ol' Abe Lincoln: "You can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time!"

Wow! Thanks for all that good information, Crackah! That's where a forum really comes in handy!
I really hope that he'ps some people out. Or he'ps 'em in, I should say. Haven't really thought much about it, but Pappy wonders if'n there's other types o' disabilities that might need addressin'. Hearin' impaired? We got quite a few folks with SELECTIVE hearin' impairment! Hee hee! Pappy's got some sign language for 'em too. (Now, Pappy, it's Sunday.) I'm preachin' ain't I? Sign-tology! Hee hee!
But seriously, I wonder if'n anybody's ever looked into what types of special needs there might be out yonder. How would anybody know? If a person needs he'p just to ask fer he'p how would they ever get he'p?
I wonder if'n the Fire Department has any kind o' list o' homes with elderly or disabled that would give us a idee. I'd hate fer a elderly person to not be able to come to a meetin' if'n they wanted to. Them old timers got some good wisdom stored up yonder. Like poor ol' Richard Pryor used to say, "You don't get to be old by bein' a fool!"
Or unless you're lucky, like Pappy!Last edited on Mar 26th, 2006 12:04 pm by FatPappy

One more thing before I go wake Mammy up an' prove to her there really is such a thing as 8:30 a.m. Sunday mornin'! (Pappy, you might wanna think about losin' that bet while you still got somethin' to lose.)
Anyway, that was a interestin' article about the Armfield ballfields in the NWO. Sounds like the developer's draggin' their feet. Thanks to "Pit Bull" Bob Williams fer gnawin' on them draggin' feet! Sic 'em, Bob!
These poor young'uns ain't been gettin' nuthin' but excuses fer years about ballfields an' schools. It ain't right!
The NWO just gets better ever' time! Really been some good in-depth articles lately! Pappy likes them "follow up" articles about subjects like the ballfield that go on an' on till people ferget unless it's brought up agin. Good job, y'all! Makes me wanna larn how to read!

WOW, PAPPY!!! ♥♥♥ You really jumped right in this mawnin', huh? (BTW: I hope you're still with us.... I mean, Are you sure you wanna mess with Mammy so early???)
I tell ya, if the powers that be would just let us folks on the playground solve the world's problems, we'd just get it all done -- right???
That's a great idea about seeking out folks who might need some kind of services but might not even know how to go about getting 'em! Wonder who could coordinate something like that? I bet you're right that the fire departments would have at least some of that info... a good place to start, anyway... and then, for the older citizens, there is some kind of group that coordinates meetings around the different parts of the county... and Meals on Wheels.... I guess just getting SOMEBODY to pull it all together would be the trick....

Tee Hee! I appreciate Bob yappin' at the heels of that developer too Pappy! My nephew (the pro in the making....) is in 2nd grade and had to start practice at 8:30 the other night.
That's just ridiculous!

The building doesn't belong to the town and neither does the land for the park... SF is leasing the land from the county and the grange or some group (Mike will know) owns the building. The owners of the building are just kind and let the town use the building for town council meetings since WE CAN'T FIT IN TOWN HALL ANYMORE. (I'm sure they are charging a rental fee, but I'm not sure and their rental fees are unbelievably inexpensive-doubt it pays their light bill)
I think some improvements to the building were in the park plan, but I'm not sure what exactly that entailed....I do know the building is going to reap the benefits of the new parking areas and sidewalks though... They really needed that upgrade. As far as I know, the town really has no right to fix the building unless the group who owns it allows it.
The building and land is own by the Summerfield Community Center Inc. which is run by two of the three groups that started the building (Grange, Garden Club ). The Town has nothing to do with the building, they only rent it for meetings on certain days. The building has been a meeting place for over 35 years. Only the land around the Center was leased to the Town for the Park.

Oh, well...
