Re: PD: Graton Group [has finally!] filed suit 3/22/10 to STOP SIREN! YEA!!
Following this post with much sympathy for my friend, Bob, who...contrary to your assertions that he is a big, temper throwing baby...happens to have a long track record of civic and community involvement the likes of which I am sure you cannot comprehend...
I am finally chiming in to say: Do you even "sort of" know the bounds of our Fire District? It actually covers a huge area well out Vine Hill Rd, way out Graton Rd (which if you've ever biked is quite steep and hilly) over Harrison Grade...out Green Valley!!!! and all the lanes in between. It is indeed quite spectacularly hilly...and huge...and far reaching.
Also, as someone who has lived a block uphill with a bedroom window pointed right at the siren...for 26 years...while raising a colicky baby to full blown adult...wow! I have mixed feelings about the siren...I do...but I definitely know how I feel about people that attack volunteer fire fighters on a personal level when they themselves have not shown similar community commitment. I'm truly sorry that I did not post this before you left the conversation, n4rky. And I hope that you'll peek back here from time to time and maybe even apologize to tezor/Bob.
He has a track record which he can be proud of. Maybe someday you will too...but only if you are truly capable of learning.

And here you magnify the problem from Graton, with its somewhat different terrain to all of west Sonoma County.
I'm not trying to solve the problem in Occidental or Camp Meeker. In those places, with their somewhat steeper and more difficult terrain, I accept that a siren may indeed be the only option. But your attempt to draw those places into this is yet more evidence of the way you have, and I am assuming you have been every bit as obstinate with others as you have been with me, treated people who really aren't being all that unreasonable.

I would like to make clear to all, I speak as a private citizen, in no way do I speak for any of the organizations I belong to or support. I encourage people speaking their minds, no matter their opinion, it is constitutional after all.

well it sounds like i missed out on most of the exciting part of this thread lol so ill just throw out a couple things, gratongirl your completly right the graton fire district is quite large being roughly 27 square miles the borders being 1-16 and ross station (bordering forestville fire) to 1-16 and hurlbut ave (bordering seb. fire) then the bridges on gueneville rd and occ. rd (bordering sr/rincon vly fire) then graton rd and green hill rd. (bordering occ. fire). from wat i see the biggest nuisence in this town is a select few selfintitled shitheads that im assuming (correct me if im wrong) have moved here and are now trying to change all the things that make our town great...if you dont like it then leave. and bob i am personally ashamed this n4rky fella is (im assuming again) from my home town
peace to all

Point of correction: the people involved in the lawsuit are not newcomers to Graton for the most part. Several of them have lived here for decades, and raised their children in Graton...who are now in their late 30's...so they have been around a long time. However, the siren is being moved into their immediate neighborhood, and that is their concern. The folks that I know don't fit your description starting with self entitled...

One thing to say about the Siren, it does give the Coyotes a Thrill

I lived in Graton for a while and never had a problem with the siren. It serves a purpose. People move into an area then decide they want it to be more like where they used to live, usually an urban area with out the smells, sound, etc. of rural life.

Unsubscribing? Why? ...It has been a while since you submitted the thread to your professors and I am just wondering what their analysis is? Any word? I wouyld think that with all the differing opinions that are being posted, your professors would be more than willing to contribute their views....Of course, as one person emailed me on a past thread, unsubscribing in the heat is a cop out... Hope this isn't the situation... Anyone heard from n4rky?

At this point, I think I have said all that I can say on this issue. So I am unsubscribing from this thread. Should my professors choose to respond, I still have the numerous email notifications I have received in regard to this thread, and I will find my way back.
