I, too, am hearing fro people who have had addiction issues. Years ago, I <br /> decided this whole"anonymous"thing didn't serve me well & I can ay I've been rewarded many times over for sharing <br /> my story. <br /> I hope you still know where my heart is. Emily, indeed, may lose on'a technicality in the end. This should not deter their <br /> efforts however....or yours. <br /> As your Council, we are struggling with how we can keep our rural ommunity as characteristically"rural" as possible <br /> knowing "progress" is inevitable. My neighborhood will never be as uiet as it was because of the new highway, for <br /> example. <br /> We also must find ways to accommodate"helping and healing" our itizens and families. This includes our hurting kids, <br /> our elderly parents, and our neighbors. If nothing else, this issue ha put a spotlight on just how inadequate our"rules" are <br /> and how unenlightened and fearful some of our neighbors are. <br /> However, it also has given me an opportunity to see & hear people like yourself who are able to rise above the"clatter". <br /> Please never stop being brave &thoughtful. <br /> Thanks again, <br /> Jim <br /> Original Message <br /> From: steve byrnes <br /> To:jwhiteci.orono.mn.us ; cbremerCa�ci.orono.mn.us ; Imcmillan ci.orono.mn.us ;jmurphvagoldengate.net; <br /> dfranchot(a�ci.orono.mn.us ; Pamela <br /> Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 9:58 AM <br /> Subject: Thank you.... <br /> Mayor White and Council -- <br /> I wanted to write and genuinely thank each of you for the tho ghtful consideration you are giving the Emily <br /> Project. As you know, I am a strong supporter of this progr. i and feel our community will be served well by <br /> such a program amongst us. <br /> As the conversation has teetered between civil discourse and he absurd, each of you have maintained a <br /> thoughtful and respectful attitude. I've not been involved in 1 i cal politics much before and my experiences <br /> thus far have all been positive. I've been boring my wife wit long talks on the strength of our republic and the <br /> intentions or our forefathers! <br /> 1 <br />
