Why would you at least not ASK for what you need from the state? You can still have realistic expectations about what you'd get. But this defeatest attitude and "let's not even bother" is ridiculous. This is not the kind of leadership Fergus Falls needs.

On MSCTC forecasts layoffs

With an attitude like yours, hometown, we don't want you back. People who stay are people who are willing to work for and improve our community. To us, it is worth the labor of love to make Fergus Falls better - not run away when the going gets tough. Good Riddance.

On Untapped funding from lunches sought

Lake Alice - I think the natural vegetation is left on purpose. It serves as a buffer to prevent those birds on the water from accessing shoreline ALL over. Instead, they have limited access to that NE corner. Also, if we remove the nests, the Egrets and Cormorants will just move to someone else's trees - maybe yours? When the nutrients of that island are exhausted, the birds will naturally find new homes. Your suggestions for manicured and tightly managed space belongs in Disney Land, not Fergus Falls.

On City park plan unveiled to public

The parks are one of our city's greatest assets. It's great that there is a comprehenisive -LONG RANGE plan. It's refreshing to hear of a City with vision and strategic foresight. I think this plan was developed with public input - so if you want a dog park, I hope you attended one of those meetings and said so. Although I agree there are plenty of places to walk a dog. Besides the "green space" aspect of our parks, the recreational programs are getting better each year. It was great to have lifeguards back at Pebble Beach, sponsors for the summer teams and a "day care" program during the summer.

Nice column Joel.

On Coleman should have been quiet

This is dangerous. My kids are still in elementary school. But IF they are going to drink, wouldn't it be best to be in the safety of a home? Not that we'd condone it, or supply it or even know about it. But this only encourages kids to drive out to some corn field, get drunk and drive home again. We have to have a safe place for kids to screw up before they go off to college and have no security blanket.

I'm just glad I didn't invest in this. Just poor timing. Investing in new technology is always a risk. This was just a bad one.
