Before anyone votes for Kerrie Shunk as our mayor they should come look at all the dog crap piled at her back door. What would it hurt to clean that up??Take a look at the dog that has been out on a chain for the last 4 years. Remember back to the mighty Christmas snow storm and the huge drifts, that dog was forced to stay out there on a chain without shelter. All the extreme cold this past winter have taken a toll on that dog.
Remember if she will treat her pet that way she may not treat the town of Blue Hill much better
Let's nobody vote for Kerrie Shunk, and guess what? She will be Blue Hill's mayor anyway. She could have PETA picket her because of the mistreatment of her dog and she will still be the mayor. And she will probably pick another member for the city council.
We did have some civic minded men stepping up for city council but these guys are retirement age plus, some having gone into retirement more than once. Men who thought their time of serving the community were past and now the younger generation would take their turn. But when no one else would step forward they got up from their rocking chairs and toddled out on their walkers. These men of "the greatest genertion" came forward again to save the day. They showed they "care" about the community. Hope they have what it takes to stay awake in the meetings.
And if it all gets to be too much for them and they can't/don't make it to the end of their term, Mayor Shunk can select another of her friends to fill the seat.
You people have to much time on your hands if you can sit and degrade others like you do? Seriously, find another hobby! Remember that this blog is open to everyone and it doesn't give the town of Blue Hill a good name by reading some of this that is put on this blog. Let's give this town a good name by posting positive stuff! You do love your town correct?
Being dishonest and ignoring the truth is not going to give Blue Hill a good name. Blue Hill will get its good name by "taking care of business". keeping it's citizens safe, Being humane to the animal as well as the children.
taking care of each other.
If a citizen chains up a dog in their back yard a lets it create a moat of poop around itself to the point that the stench is offensive to the whole neighborhood, are we to ignor it in order to protect the good name of the town or shouldn't it be cleaned up?
A town that respected neighbors enough to clean up this sort of problem deserves a good name, one that ignors such problem earns whatever name it gets by doing so.
If you don't like what is posted here why don't you post someting positive!!!? YOu so want something positive posted and you say the blog is open to everyone so let us know what you have to say on a positive note! Come one give us something.
Why do you think it has to be someone other than yourself to post something positive?
You say I have too much time. Ya I spen that time looking at the DOG CRAP that is less than 5 feet from my deck. How about I bring the crap to you and you say something positive!!!
Yeah we need a "good name" for Blue Hill. How about stink town.? How about the smell of decaying human bodies and piles of dog feces? no one needs to talk about that, you can smell Blue Hill. Does it remind anyone of a sewer? Do you love your town? Then clean up your dog poop!!!
You do love your town, correct?
That’s your MAYOR!! She is above the law she is the MAYOR. We should all be happy, she has dog crap in her yard, she is the MAYOR. We should be happy she abuses her dog, she is the MAYOR. We should let her park anywhere she wants (even if there is an ordinance against it) she is the MAYOR. Who are we to judge her, she is the MAYOR.
And by the way no one else would do it. That is why she is the MAYOR
this blog is not the opinions of blue hill. It's the opinion of Andy, Jessie and Slyvia Alber. It's your personel get back at everybody that wrongs you!! What a joke.
Excluding the post made @ 10:24 P.M-all of these other posts are made during regular working hours. It really makes me wonder if the people writing these posts have a job. I think your time would be used better by watching Judge Judy or Oprah, or reading a dictionary learning how to spell.
I think there is no doubt that people at work check out what is on the computer on a regular basis. Didn't you know that? People at their desks at work regularly go on the net. Simple fact. So what difference does that make?
Working hours vary for different people. Some people work 9 to 5, some 7 to 11, some people work weekends and have weekdays off, some work evenings, all kinds of different schedules. So why do you care?
Each person can decide for themselves what they want to do without help from you. Would you care if I said you watch too much Judge Judy and Oprah. I don't think so.
People who want to can view this blog, people who don't want to might as well do whatever it is that they want to do and not worry about how other people are spending their time. At work or at home.
The Dog poop has been cleaned up.
Thanks.
