    Of course the trails are full of mud and debris, its April. The winter has just past. The real question is; how will the Town respond to the needs of the park now that Americorps refused to/ was ordered not to help. One more item of intermingling.

    Historygirl...you missed the whole point.

    Tell me something please...WHAT has AmeriCorp done for West Seneca this year? Maybe THEY want to leave West Seneca. Seems to me their leader does nothing but create havoc wherever he goes. Seems as though he hates WS even though no decisions have ever been made in regards to AmeriCorp. He is a bully and a hothead, something that has been seen by many !!

    Hey true - I like you. You can see the forest through the trees and are not hood winked into believing what everyone tells you. Mark is certainly a bully and will step on anyone to get ahead. Just look at his past. He brags about all the people he has fired, like that a real accomplishment! It shows that he has a hard time getting along with people, especially those who question what he does. Keep up the good work.

    Good point Be True. I have heard the same about their Director, behavior that resonates through his staff. But also, why is Burchfield made to feel like they owe Americorps? Because they are renting office space there? Do they have this attitude toward any other park they have done work in? Aside from all of that, it is what they do. If the attitude is we provided this service now you owe us, then whole point and true spirit of what service is is completely missed.

    BTW, they are darned if they do and darned if they don't. If they do something for WS, their work is minimumized, if they don't, they are villified. Best this all come out in the open, and not do anything, perhaps people will notice, BTW what happened to....

    As far as renting office space, it is way over priced rented office space.

    Well, I don't see you leaving any time soon. Can't find a place to go? No one wants you? I heard tell that Mark had all kinds of places offered to him for nothing, so why aren't you gone?

    Not doing anything in the Park is only proving the how childest the AmeriCorp leader really is. Town Board is doing the right thing and getting things segregrated like it should have been to begin with.

    Not really. Who is childish, a middle aged lawyer who wants to play town god instead of being a half a.... lawyer. Not much called for h...a.... lawyers I guess.

    Does anyone know what the truth actually is concerning the Supervisor's intentions with Americorps. The website and in public a lot of rumors and speculation has come out with very little consistency. If this has been going on for months, what is taking so long making this decision? Either Americorps leaves or they stay. Enough is enough. And lets say Americorps goes, who remains from that office as an employee of the Town? It seems so interwoven no one really knows who they work for what with moneys for salaries coming out of the Town, Americorps and the School District. Too much of a mess, but such is life in WNY.

    Aside from that, nothing against Americorps at all, but seeing as most of their work is done in the City of Buffalo, wouldn't the best move be for them to move to the City? The Supervisor's actions aside, their Mayor needs all the help he can get with how he is running things.

    I agree. I know that Byron Brown has said make a call. I know of others. Most are hoping it will just blow over. The program is too big to disappear, and ML is the program. I think the options are in place, it might be soon for the people to decide. A referendum can be called with 2000 signitures I think, and it might come to that.

    No...childish, is a middle aged Executive Director who does not know how to direct and who twists the truth and starts false rumors. Not much call for this in our town... embarrassing actually, hope he leaves us all in peace and we never see the likes of someone like him again. Wally did not make him like that, he has done it for years and has gotten away with it. Take it to a new town and have him continue his record breaking firings. What does that say for him, bragging about it after he fires. Does he have a sole at all?

    Sounds like you were one of the firings. From the tone of your remarks, I can understand why.

    Reject, you can't fire me, I do not work for the town, and my employers would not listen to you. Reject.
