Letters to the Editor...
Dear Editor:
The insanity continues. Since moving to the Grand Lake area six years ago, I have watched (with amusement) the antics of the Grove City Council and City Manager along with the GRDA's "mis"management of the lake.
My amusement has broken out to downright laughter after reading in this publication that the GRDA has chosen the "Lake Bum" to help improve their image. It certainly makes sense to me. I know that if I had an organization such as the GRDA, one which desperately needed an improved image, I would certainly hire an outspoken proponent for alcoholism to represent me. After all, when viewed through the veil of a drunken stupor, things don't look so bad. So, let's all join the "Bum" on the poop deck and hoist a tall drink to the GRDA for another comedic effort at management of the lake.
Thinking along the same lines, perhaps the Grove City Council might want to check the Lake Bum's availability for City Manager. I mean, if you are going to be presenting a comedy routine on a regular basis, why not have a city manager that could lead the city with a Foster Brooks (no relation to this writer) attitude? Not only would I attend each and every council meeting, I would pay good money to watch it.
Thanks to the GRDA for another great laugh!

It seems very strange that the Jay Board of Education would hire someone
(Charles Cooper, $ 30,000 annually/part time) to personally supervise the Athletic Dept.
They have already hired Shane Holland (Mr. Coopers nephew) as Athletic Director.
Most rational citizens would think that if the Athletic Director can't handle the job,
why did you hire him? Apparently the Jay Schools have a great deal of money to throw
around...(30,000 isn't a bad part-time job for someone who has no defined duties, Oklahoma
Teachers retirement, Arkansas Teachers retirement & Social Security). I wonder
why our District Attorney doesn't look into this! Oh, I almost forgot, it's just the TAX
PAYERS money....
