•ROM W-BHR A3ViR..S.Xv;• n »« *xo, 100% of than Hack. This 6oa not sound like the “giater Lake Minseronlu a«a." And uith Orono tc its U commumoa police referring only 2^ to a shclw in 2^ it s hard to argue the &a that the people using this shelter a« not coming from this community, and that this Domestic Violeoce Shelter is needed or wanted in this neighborhood. I don’t even want to think of the violence that would be added to this neighborhood and Gty. Many neghbon of the Sojura shclta have had numerous complaints of the increase m violence.The police calls to the shelta are between W snd IQD what doe that ay? One neighbor had ha daughter beat up b>'some of the children staying in the shelter - and thae kids an be up to 18 years old sojing with their fiuiulies! A ta'dia fiom the sdiool that the kids of the victims attend is ready to quit ha job because the kidi from the shcha are so violent and canzo: be controM One of the abuses drove .his ar through the 6 foot fence surrounding the shrita. Neghbors have increased that awareness - locking all doors, .no: leaving items outsde. not lemng dve kids pky as freely as diey may want, strange ars roaming theneig.hborhood at ad hours of the day. TTrisis not someA^^^ adjust to. I have .nuny convaadons with Clair Rood about the di.-eaor and corrector who will be running thu Domoric Violence Shelter - Mr: Hessbag and his wife. Hessbag h« a background in real crate, has anyone quationed his sudden intaest in the Social Services? Do you think that he realized that possibly he and his wife will make a hell of a lot of money they get this shclta running? Hessberg knows that he will be receiving $55.000/yor for each filled bed. This is a ton of money for food (much of w-hich is donatedUtiima and gcncnlup!ceep.rncSojurnshd« has lost money forlZycars with onl>'l2beds-Why>T^ sotingthcmselvasakrio while not even thinking twice about the problems that will arise from this shelrer. This man c.4^ .ut sound like a dt^gpoda and is not into this real erate deal for the weD-bcing of the vicrims of the shelta. but to fill up his £id try to run a half-assed sheltet He tried to do it in Mo’und and it got shot down, $0 now he’s trying to make a deal out .’X«wants to do this thingso lad, make Hessbag doit correctly what he will havea propc area, an* •> a^aui disrupting the surrounding neighborhood. I think having a shelre for Domestic Violence is an acellent way to help those in need.
