Mr Cramer I have no problume with our current fire chief. My only issue is with the town going to a appointed fire chief. But I come from a time when we had real volentiers no one got paid for anything no per call no stipend nothing. Times change But to me it is sad. The fire Dept brought it apon themselves when they decided they needed workmans comp So here we are today with a in effect paid department. To me it is sad to see another part of small town America pass on. I personaly would not follow the order of a appointed person to put my life on the line unless I personaly had trust in his/her ability to make the rite decesion. But you must rember I come from a Diferent time. My issue is with the change I only know Mr.Norris through the Fair system. and have no opinnion one way or the other of his ability's as a fire chief administerator It is a Big thankless job I wish him well
I know about Barry Norris and I wish his congratulations. Any and all disagreements are in the past, and I will not revive them.
I do not want enemies. I'm trying to be friends with everyone. I have asked Andy many times how can I help and I'm always available in any capacity I can. My physical condition does not allow me to participate actively in EMS or Fire, but I'd be happy to bring food, water, etc. if Barry Norris wants me. I would also like input from anyone, particularly people who do care and are involved in the community. My phone and e-mail are always open.
I am pleased that issues are being aired here on the forum. I notice there are many lurkers. Which mean folks are reading and are interested. As for members writing about what they hear at a meeting. Town folks will be as unbiased as the local reporter. Folks are human and report as they see it. Fact are often lost in the drama.
No one asked me. but since I have been known to comment without waiting. my two cents is that any group should have the members VOTE on officers and directors. OF,BY AND FOR the people.
Hey Brian How about you recerching how the govenor's speech will affect sad 40 ie us You are a teacher and could get a prospective others do not have JR.
