We also have an ad on Cable 10

OK check the new post. We are setting up a meeting.

You hit the nail on the head. The larger handicapped woman was bugging my wife and scared her. She once came to the door holding our baby and the woman asked to hold it. (very scary, she thought she was on drugs.) If your dad drives the old Ford Ranger, I know who he is.

The Morelands live over here and his mother is in her 90's and doesn't hardly come out of her house.

The guy directly across the street from me has a construction business, and was vandalized not too long ago. I am tired of feeling like I live in the "hood". I have a decent job and my wife is a teacher and we deserve better. Hell, we all do!

Josh,
I lived across the street from where you do now and my parents still do at least for the time being, they are planning to move due to the neighborhoods reputation. I will tell you the neighbors I am sure you are talking about used to (I don't know if they still do) foster handicap children. One of them roamed the streets constantly begging people for cigarettes at their back doors. Another, still in diapers, I personally picked up out of the middle of Evergreen Rd twice while they were doing God knows what in their house. My mother has calledthe police on them numerous times. The police do nothing. On top of that the government gives them children to watch??? As a former Coolbrook resident I applaud your effort and sincerly hope it works. That neighborhood has needed serious help for a long time. Unfortunatly there are not many police in the area. Where I live now we have two State Troopers and about 6 cops and two fireman, needless to say its a pretty safe area. I hope things work for you.

I am fairly sure I can get some volunteers to help with that. I have even seen somt that simply run on a battery

Joshua,

How many motion lights are going to be needed? Do you have someone to install them if we can get them?

If anyone is a Kiwanis, Optimist, Jaycee etc etc and would be interested in helping me out with the motion lights for the elderly I would appreciate it. My contact info is:

I'd like to take a moment to thank all the public servants and private citizens that have contacted me to offer support. I have a full time job, I go to college full time, and I also have a family. So this is stretching me a bit thin.

Bstacy-

One of my main concerns is taking up a collection to purchase motion lights for the elderly in the neighborhood. If I have to resort to contacting the grant writer, that is AOK with me. My poor neighbor across the street hardly comes out of the house. I believe it is namely due to all the ruckus over here in the summer time./

joshua Owens,

I am all for what you are doing. No,I don't have facebook, not really into putting myself out there like most of those sites do. Have a myspace, but haven't been on it in awhile. I used it to keep in touch with family while I was in the service. Good Luck with what you are doing and don't forget to help the elderly in your neighborhood. They are the ones who are easily targeted, but unlikley able to help you.
