Doe's anyone know who is responsible for fixing the cracked sidewalk
approach to this development? Is this another cost the taxpayer's are
going to have to pay for? I hope not! I hope these things are inspected
and not by old family friends.

Note from Group Owner: I have allowed this posting MOSTLY because it
concerns (loosely)the future of farming and agricultural land (and,
ultimately, such lands remaining for that purpose). Thus, this is at
least a timely subject, considering this week's county council hearings
on our 10-year Comprehensive Plan update. How the council deals with

I got an idea... it is time to get with the new school on the
internet... maybe it would be better if you did this newfangled blog
thingy... You can still do links, and your stories, but then you have
the ability to have comments realted to specific articles, and you can
keep the chinese hackers out... Just a thought....

Stay calm old timer. The demonization of the web master has been going
on for years by people like you that hide behind the mask of a computer
screen. What she has done is change the way Sultan does business. It is
not so easy to be an old timer anymore. As for Mr. Van Wyngarden, he is
just an old time teacher,most likely buds with Mr. Boucher, who settled

I find your perspective a bit curious: How can someone be "demonized"
by reminding folks of the part he played in the 60-acre proposed Van
Wyngarden annexation by Barclays North? Are you afraid of knowledge?
I do not know Mr. Van Wyngarden, so I have no opinion of him. But Big
Kudos to him for teaching our children, a VERY tough job these days.

I'm glad you find amusement in our website. Lord knows, us little
taxpayers these days have little enough to give us a chuckle, so I try
to do my part.
If you like free entertainment (as the G.R.I.T. website and forum is
now and always has been), I also highly recommend attendance at all the
public hearings, workshops and "Planning" Commission and City Council

Hey, now, as you well know, the growth philosophy (based on some
unknown concept) is that in Sultan when new homes are built there are
no impacts on the community, plain and simple. Every new development
happens in a vacuum, and when all of the buildable lands have been
built out, then by some miracle industry and retail outfits will fill

The comments on demanding that your political site should be given the
same credence and appreciation as the sportsmans club and the flip flop

Re the discussion forum's lack of use, you are correct. One reason
is that I have limited its use and tightly moderate the comments I
receive, many of which I do not post due to what I consider to be
inappropriate content. However, it's my understanding that Ron

you either have blown all the hot air that people care to listen to, or

try to assume it has something to do with the google board.
Can you try something else? Maybe you can get some fire under your near

By asking those questions, the conclusions you have drawn are partially
correct. You will NOT be able to ride dirt bikes or use motorized
vehicles (which includes ATVs and Snowmobiles) in the Wild
Sky-designated area.
However, you WILL still be able to hunt in Wild Sky because the
underlying federal land designation is NATIONAL FOREST, not NATIONAL
