• Story: Vader Council Considers Putting Name Change on Ballot

Posted

Here we go again. I have commented on this before and plan to continue to voice my opinion on the name change. Every time someone new moves to Vader they want to change the name or change the town. If you didn’t like the name you shouldn’t have moved here. The name doesn’t make the town nor does it make it home. The mayor pro tem talks about revitalizing the city, but we are actually going backward instead of forward. We no longer have our water rights, no police department, a half time city worker, and two office workers but we are not open five days a week for eight hours. I grew up here and the name Vader has never affected me or have I heard names called. That’s just a negative misconception of a few Vader transplants. They need to focus more on the things the city needs to improve on not waste time and energy on a name change. Move on people!

Changed Much in New Special Session

I’ve been through many labor contract renegotiations during my working years, and they almost always started a year before the end date of the contract. However, they never finished until sometime during the last night of the contract, or it got extended a short time to get it completed. It always came down to the most important part last, the money. I suppose it’s human nature. So, none of this with the Legislature surprises me, but it is disappointing that we have to go through this little dance every legislative session.

I am so grateful to have the phones back on. Very much appreciate. Believe me, with an ill person in the house I know you had a very big mess to deal with plus all the frustrated people to deal with. You know, sometime we don’t take the time to think what we really have until we don’t have it so I just want say thank you again from Lincoln Creek.

Outstanding. Tigers had two extremely durable pitchers, very well prepared defense and plate production 1 through 9. That is the state champ formula. Congratulations Tigers!!!
