Police department

Why is there a petition going around to asking if we need to keep the police department?
Is the council going to disband it?

It would be stupid and irresponsible to remove our local police protection. It takes the county a long time to get down here and with the cuts that they are facing they aren't going to have the man-power.

Is this an employee issue, like last time, or is it really a budget problem?

Christmas season starting!

The parade was nice tonight, first time since I've been here that it hasn't either rained or been threatening to rain. The girls were excited and we had to follow them down to the community building and then back up the street. Of course the candy being thrown was making it harder to keep track of them. I'm not sure if any of the photos that I took will come out, but if they do I'll post them later.


Drove through town the other day and saw the remains of the old mill. So sad that it's gone. I never went in there, but it was a neat reminder of the history of the town. I hope it can be rebuilt.
