I have the up most respect for our firefighters.

They have always put others peril before their own.

As a town, we should come together and collectively, raise a donation for
Ryan's family and his now own personal battle.

Since I have been in this town, there seems to be a lack of cohesiveness as
a town. It points to the captain of the ship. I'm disappointed that there is
only one candidate running for mayor.

I am deeply concerned that those who are the leaders in our community, fail
to come to the plate for the people who lose their lives on the towns'
railroad tracks.

I know all too well that this is a difficult issue, but it is an issue that
separates those that can rise up and work for a change and those that sit
back and remain silent.
