Mario, I'm willing, because I have the time, to meet on a given day, place and time, to clean up, one block, one street at a time, like an improvement group, to make someone else's surroundings pleasing and sanitary. The dollar store on Main and Sewall, sells mops, brooms, buckets, etc., all for

Give a hungry man a fishing pole and not a fish. Spend 40 hours 80 miles out on a 36' boat fishing. You can keep the $1000 reel and rod and I'll take the fish. Give that fishing pole here and that person would be selling it on the corner for $5.00. Plenty of poles have been given out

Just another observation. If you don't live on the West Side, you'd never know, but St. Augustine's Episcopal Church, has a fedding program, ONCE a month! The last Sunday, I believe. My girl friend is a parishioner and helps with the preparation and the serving. On Fridays, if you care, people

I always thought a great idea would be to put the senior center next to the Library. The property to the right if you are going up the steps. I'm sure the city could get it for a good price or through eminent domain. What I would do is expand the library and connect via an enclosed

Park update. Today, the park has been immaculately cleaned by the city. The fountain looks as good as it's gonna get. All the drug bags are gone, cigarette butts are gone, and litter is gone. This is a good starting point, and since things are so clean it will be easy to see the effects of what

I'd love to see the area patrolled more. I don't think it's being patroled at all so far. Also, I'd like to see our PD start to pay attention to the many litterers that are trashing our city. Just this morning, there were 2 discarded 40 oz. beer bottles on my sidewalk. I'm really getting sick

Finally update for tonight, then it's time for some couch potatoing. I noticed that the light pole near the fountain is now intermittently working. It goes on a bit, then off for awhile, and when it is on, it casts a pretty weak moonlight kind of glow on the fountain area. It's something, but
