Hi,

Suchitra, If you have flyers for your upcoming 10/27 meeting, can you send me one electronically or I can stop by and pick some up. I need about 45 for Acredale; I can print them if you can send me an electronic copy. I need to distribute ASAP by foot and my next week and weekend is FULL. I also hoped to distribute Hillandale’s widely throughout Buck Lodge-White Oak Manor – now I don’t know if I will personally have the time to get much done before 10/30.

As to the WP article, President Loh sounds really whiny (sp?). I think it is about the lamest argument one can use that, in 20 years, another President will have to close it. I am sorry. Should President Obama go raid N. Korea or Iran because at some point they may have weapons they shouldn’t or should we wait until circumstances REQUIRE irreversible devastation?

Seriously, in 20 years, that golf course, that land, will be even more scarce, valuable, sacred, worth preserving, and I think any future president of UMD would be even less likely to turn it into a parking lot because it is too valuable. This isn’t China or some other similar country where there is no restriction and seemingly no values on pollution, labor/wages treatment, civil rights or industrialization/development or more aptly preserving the environment. If land is so scarce they have to consider killing the golf course, then that indicates the golf course should certainly be preserved as the only open space left in the area.

There are other parcels of land for sale in the College Park and abutting area that UMD could seek to buy up right now to have for those potential needs.

My question is why is the UMD golf course practicing in Mitchellville or near Upper Marlboro? That makes no sense to commute all the way there; is it because they don’t have allotted practice time because the UMD golf course is public? Why would they be paying for another course to use if that one is right in their back door?

I really don’t mean to sound disrespectful, but a lot of the dialogue seems to mimic a cry baby…. I otherwise really liked that person.
