With that said, I hope that the legalities and permits can be am,nded to allow for The Emily Program to be housed in Orono. While I'm not sure that I can attend the mee is ng on Monday night, I do think it is important that all the facts regarding ambulance and police calls be clearl stated. What does increase mean-- once a year, once a month? Please state the facts. And really,how much i creased traffic are you going to have??I would bet that in a 10 bedroom facility, daily traffic will be less than hen you had a school there. Furthermore, even though I live in a wealthy community, I'm • ite certain that right down the street from me people are receiving welfare checks. Who knows, there may h:ve even been a runaway or a suicide attempt near my house (as Aaron stated in his letter). Who really kno 's -- I'm not worried, and it's none of my business. Aaron, if you did a little more research on people wi h eating disorders, you'll likely not find many runaways, attempted suicides and welfare checks. Eating diso iders most often affect white middle 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 letter around town without dping your homework and stating the correct facts is ethically wrong. You've likely got many in our community lindly believing you, which is unfortunate. We'd find common ground if you'd work toward, rather than a ainst, housing The Emily Program down the street from you--not in a residential neighborhood, but down he street.

We understodd 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 involvejd 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.
