Excellent point !!

We here in the First Ward lovingly refer to it as the Ghetto. We probably have the most closed businesses, the most trash in the streets, the most neglected areas like the park on Rt 4, Aeronca's weed choked parking lot, the streets down town and the Pioneer Cemetery. The sidewalk on the little bridge across the canal on Rt. 4 is almost impassable due to all the debris, next to that is a lot where 18 wheelers used to park trailers, weeds and trash everywhere. I wish the city would come here and make them clean up, and plant flowers of course. This is a "gateway' from Dayton. It ain't all on the east side of town.  ]]> Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:43:34 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2403&PID=14808&title=new-cemetary-hours#14808 New Cemetary Hours : Mike The Middltown Cemetery... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2403&PID=14801&title=new-cemetary-hours#14801 Author: Vivian Moon

Bobbie,
These are excellent point.  They illustrate that it is a FACT that the city hall is just making excuses about the cemetery and really have a hidden agenda.
 
Same with Keep Middletown Beautiful and Pride in Action and the Historical Society.  One would think they would all be supporting this HISTORIC cemetery in the SECOND WARD, but where are they???

I am with Vivian on this.  The city should take the responsibility for their cemetary.  Just like they wanted all the citizens to take the responsibilty of their property this year.  I am all for what was done at Douglas Park however if they could not take care of the plants that were donated at Pioneer - how can they take care of Douglas.  Regarding the hours the city makes sure that the gates at Smith Park are opened and closed nightly, how is this any different.  (I do want to thank Gary Barge for volunteering his time).  The truth is they do not see this as any interest or money making opportunity so it means nothing.  If I was the city I would build a small gate house for individuals to register.  Have a book for people to sign and tell of their family members that reside at the cemetary.  The city needs to take pride in what we have - or it is will never be anything again.  Right now we have individuals running the city that have no pride in the little things like the cemetary.  When you destroy the foundation of a house - it will come tumbling down - and that is what is happening now.  ]]> Thu, 10 Dec 2009 11:27:30 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2403&PID=14706&title=new-cemetary-hours#14706 New Cemetary Hours : Mr. Dave When the car ran through... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2403&PID=14681&title=new-cemetary-hours#14681 Author: Vivian Moon

Mr. Dave
    When the car ran through the gates it damaged about ten tombstones and wiped out the big gates and part of the fence...the big red reflectors may stop this from happening again.
    The hours are a major problem for people that live outside Middletown and those that will be visiting during the summer months.

 I don't get it, I have tried to side with Mrs. Moon on the cemetery issue, and I still do for the most part. But I don't get it, here is Gary taking the time to go out and open the gates for the community. But that is not good enough, I do agree that the hours should be a little longer but I am ok with them not being as long as long as it is open. Instead of saying well thank you Gary, you say, but it should be this way and when I did it it was like this. Just be happy that the city is opening the gates on the weekends and Gary has decided to take the time to deal with this. It's always about the negative with you.
 
And Woodside is a private cemetery so they payed for the reflectors on their gates, is a couple of reflectors really gonna make that big a difference at Pioneer?

I want to recognize/thank Mr.Michel,Mr.Lewis and Mrs.Hall(KMB) along with the very generous contributors for the excellent work at Douglass Park. Landscaping is what this group does extremely well, and their continued hard work and efforts should be better appreciated by everyone.
 
Thanks again people--you make a very positive difference in this segment of our community, and the choice of Douglass goes a long way towards demonstrating your commitment to our entire city.
