Tele-Town Hall Meeting
Our City Manager, Arnie Shadbehr,
invites you to call to be part of a
Tele-Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday,
October 17th from 7p.m. to 8 p.m.
A Tele-Town meeting is when you
call in on your phone and join the
proceedings. The phone number to call is:
855-756-7520 Ext. 36529#. This meeting
will give our city manager an opportunity to
explain what the tax proposal is that we will
vote on in November. The City is running a
deficit. Without increasing our revenue, City
services will continue to be limited. Our
police officers and city employees have had
to make concessions in their contracts so that
the residents can still receive the first class
services that they deserve from the City. So,
before you vote, make plans to find out the
real info regarding this measure.
“Punch Your Lights Out!”
It was October 9, 2007, ten years ago
this week, that I began my political career.
I remember it well since October 9th is my
ol’ lady’s birthday. I went before the city
council as a concerned resident. At that
time I thought the mayor and his buddies on
the city council were playing games behind
our backs. I went to confess to them that I
had written a campaign flyer for a council
candidate that slammed the mayor’s “team”
that had controlled the City too long. Wow!
I was not prepared for what happened after
I sat down. Each council member took
turns blasting me, accusing me of slander
and threatened to sue me. The highlight
of the evening was when a council member
told me that he had the right to jump over
the podium and “punch my lights out”.
Being new to this political mudslinging, I
was shaking in my boots. At that time I
had not learned how to “just go home and
have a cold one”. People who were there
and others who viewed it on YouTube in the
ensuing days and months were amazed that
an elected official would actually physically
threaten me from the dais. Not much later
after that incident, I was encouraged to run
for City Clerk. Dummy me, I consented to
placing my name on the ballot. The rest is
history. The voters who voted
me in must have thought I was
an honest, fine outstanding man
full of integrity. Little did they
know that they were electing a
drunken old man who tries to
write a weekly column full of
nonsense.

give all seniors important information for them
to thrive on. Health scans, transportation, final
expenses, home improvement and fitness are
some of the hot topics that will be discussed
and information disseminated. I need to retire
so I can learn how to be a senior. I just can’t
drink cold ones and think life is good, or
maybe I can.
