    Town Park 4th Celebration cancelled except for fireworks

    The police chief has apparently prevailed on convincing the town to cancel the 4th of July carnival out of concerns about gang activities in "close quarters."

    Fireworks will go on as in the past.

    That's funny... Remember the literature that was sent out in behalf of the the "democrats" about the republicans? The republicans were going to cancel events and picnics..... It was really "democrats"....

    My understanding is that it was the police chief who lobbied for the cancellation claiming the close quarters and the number of gang members identified at the carnival last summer made it unsafe for the general population. his presentation made it impossible to act otherwise.

    You think Ted Wozniak opposed the idea?

    And given Ted Wozniak's performance to date, I'd say that ad was accurate of what they had planned to do.

    It makes no difference how it came about. Read the literature that someone mailed out to people in our community. The "endorsed cheektowaga team" said the republicans were going to cancel picnics and events... So who canceled out town picnic and event? A republican or a democrat?

    So which political party does the police chief belong to? No tap dancing now.. Republican or Democrat?

    All these disappointed children in cheektowaga.

    Time to start working on 2012 election material. We'll just base it on the truth

    Yes, Ted Wozniak can run on the platform "to hell with the police - bring back the 4th carnival! Hell, we can hire George Zimmerman to take care of the critters - he's experienced and will work a lot cheaper than those unionized cops!"

    The "righteous" left has once again exposed itself and is showing it's racist leanings. The reason there are problems in town park is because of all the young black youths roaming about and last year one of them getting killed. Now it's ok for the festivities to be canceled instead of trying to understand the problem and work with the community. Nice going lefties, thanks for decreasing our quality of life instead of tackling the tough issues. What gets whacked next? Dyngus Day?

    These are from last years show:

    Yes you are right Dr.... The libs don't want to fix nothing put their tails between their legs and run away from the problems. So zack drives it into their heads too canclr it... What about all the other funtions in the park?
    Or is more of an overtime issues....I think so...
    If you move it to losson park you have to get rid of the BB courts
    That is the whole problem with the blacks and trouble but the lefty politicans look the other way on race problems.

    The only thing different about this years celebration is that the midway (rides) will not be there. All the other attractions planned by the Town Patriotic Commission will go on. The midway has been somewhat of a problem for years. Unsupervised youths, some out of control, starting problems and ruining this event for the families and seniors that were there to enjoy themselves and celebrate the holiday. The Chief spent 16 hours in the park last year, observed and helped the officers assigned with several incidents. Doing away with the midway will return this celebration to a healthy, family oriented event, to be enjoyed by young and old alike. I believe this was the right call. See you on the 4th, at the park.
    If it weren't for the United States Military, there would be NO United States of America !

    I don't think the republican's have a viable enough presidential candidate for that to happen. So we should be safe for at least another 4 years.
