one of the cherished building
blocks of our democratic
foundations. It is the right of
a democracy's organizations,
to report all the news that
affects the people. And to do
so in a fair and objective
manner.
This press should be constantly vigilant and cast a critical
eye on all levels of government and all institutions of power
and influence
The news media, however, at times, forgets that they, too,
are to be held to these same precepts.
As institutions of great public influence - not to mention
large, profit making enterprise; the print and broadcast media
must constantly scrutinize their own behavior, just as they do
that of government, civic organizations, and businesses.
Just as reporters search for tragedy, fear and crime in our
community search also for the positive progressive events in
our community.
Our time moves with speed of lighting as we perform the
endless task that stirs our interest and moves us to action.
Our community is fascinating, at times, frustrating; always
exciting: every day brings new discoveries and new chal­
lenges.
At the start of our administration, the citizens gave us a
mandate to bring about change. There is an old proverb that
says: "Instantly is doing the same thing over and over and
expecting change." So we brought change - a new view of
Manchester and Woodward. Clean alleys; regular garbage
pick up;. demolition, home repair, and rehab in Ashanti Vil­
lage area, new housing is schedule to be built.
But, as the old preacher said to his congregation on Sunday
morning, "We ain't where we oughta be; we ain't where wanna
be; we ain't where we gonna be but,tbank God, we ain't where
we was".
We would like to invite all our citizens to join us in the
historic Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of the Town Center on
Saturday, December 11, 1993 at 11:00 a.m., when the doors
open on our shopping plaza.
