With that said, I hope that the legalities and permits c.1 be amended to allow for The Emily MO Program to be housed in Orono. While I'm not sure t .t I can attend the meeting on Monday 3 night, I do think it is important that all the facts regardi g ambulance and police calls be clearly stated. What does increase mean-- once a year, once : month? Please state the facts. And really, how much increased traffic are you going to ha e??I would bet that in a 10 bedroom facility, daily traffic will be less than when you had a chool there. Furthermore, even though I live in a wealthy commun ty, I'm quite certain that right down the street from me people are receiving welfare checks. o knows, there may have even been a runaway or a suicide attempt near my house (as Aaro stated in his letter). Who really knows -- I'm not worried, and it's none of my business. Aaron, f you did a little more research on people with eating disorders, you'll likely not find many runa ays, attempted suicides and welfare checks. Eating disorders most often affect white mid.l e to upper middle class young women. You'll probably find more people with eating disorders at the Blake School than you will at North High. While we had a nice, civil conversation yesterday, I'm hesitant to say that we found "common ground". I still think that spreading your alarmist lette around town without doing your homework and stating the correct facts is ethically wr ,ng. You've likely got many in our community blindly believing you, which is unfortunate. We'd find common ground if you'd work toward, rather than against, housing The Emily Program down the street from you -- not in a residential neighborhood, but down the street.

We wnderstood each others positions on the Hill School CUP issue and I think it is safe to say we both found common ground that the Emily Program is a terrific program and I think it is safe to say that we both agree that since there are some legalities involved with CUP's the Council should be cautious how those legalities could affect the City (as you stated a week or so ago to me about taking things slowly.) I truly hope she can attend Monday's meeting because I do enjoy meeting people. Thank you for sharing this.
