Important Meetings This Week

There are two meetings scheduled for this week. On Thursday, June 18 at the big red Emergency Services Building at 7:30 pm, the city of Cascade Locks will be hosting a town hall meeting to discuss preferences and solutions for the level of emergency service that our town should support. Two days later on Saturday, June 20 at 10:00 am at the big round Port Pavilion, the Charter Starters will host a community forum to set a vision and direction for a new Cascade Locks High School.

Which of these two meetings do you consider to be more important for the future of our town? Or are they equally important? Which meeting will you attend? Or will you attend both? Which meeting do you expect to be more heavily attended and shy?

As is evident from previous pages of this blog, it is much easier criticize and attack than to promote a solution and defend it. Nonetheless, my question is, for these two issues : emergency services and schools, what solutions will you propose or what solutions do you believe should be proposed at the meetings?

A note to anyone who noticed the span of time between my previous and current posts: It has been a month - a difficult month for me personally. It is only only in the past few days that I have reached the acceptance stage and begun to acknowledge the imminent death of my computer. She served me well and will be sorely missed.
