Bedford Watch still up to their antics

Friday, April 24th, 2009

I made a visit to the Bedford Watch website a few moments ago and got a good chuckle out of this:

A NO vote means NO Wal Mart

So this means:

A YES vote means YES to Wal Mart

Again, no. More propoganda from the highly biased Bedford Watch group. Their continued use of scare tactics should be noted by all citizens of this township.

This vote on May 5th, in terms of the refeendum, should be about land use and not the potential for what the development could possibly be. Is a Wal Mart a possibility, sure … one would have to believe that. However, if one could believe that then I suppose the list of possibilities that are not Wal Mart would also have to be looked at – and that list is much longer.

People of Bedford and those who plan to vote on May 5th … there is absolutely, 100%, no factual proof that if this land is rezoned that a Wal Mart is going to be developed and placed on that land right now. None. Ziltch, zero, nada. Bedford Watch’s continued fear mongering is the only reason the big W is of any concern.

Please vote your conscience, whatever it may be, and do not succumb to the continued fear mongering of what is obviously a very biased group.

Ballot Language for May 5th Referendum Vote

Friday, April 24th, 2009

There has been some discussion that the ballot language for the referendum vote may be somewhat confusing.  Directly from the ballot itself is this following statement.

A yes vote means the new zoning classifications for the five parcel portions of the Whitman property approved on December 2, 2008, will be in effect. A no vote means the five parcel portions of the Whitman property will return to their original zoning classifications in effect prior to the rezonings

To clarify, a yes vote indicates your desire to approve of the rezoning as voted on by our township board on December 2, 2008. A no vote indicates your desire to have the zoning return to it’s orginal usage prior to the rezoning vote.

Congratulations Ken Lambert

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Congrats are in order to Battalion Chief Ken Lambert of our Lambertville Fire Station. Last year Ken was responsible for saving the lives of several children on a school bus whose driver had lost consciousness and was on a path towards collision.

For his heroic efforts Mr. Lambert has been given many commendations and is now up for another award from America’s Most Wanted for his heroism.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ken for about two years now and he is more than deserving of this award. I truly believe the best part of this story (aside from the children being safe) is that Mr. Lambert has never acted like he did anything other than what he was supposed to.

So, congrats Ken! It’s a great comfort to know that we have qualified and heroic people serving our township in the capacity that you do. And furthermore, thanks to all the volunteer firemen for their time and efforts to help protect and serve us on a daily basis.
