San Juan County demand for food stamps increases
Although I agree with your point that those needing assistance should also do what they can to cut costs, your logic behind it doesn't necessarily fit. Since these women were filling out applications, that tells me they don't have foodstamps yet. Maybe this person bought the hat when she wasn't in need of assistance and probably didn't forsee her financial problems coming, as many don't. Also, regardless of what she purchases, foodstamps is based on household income. So whether she spends her money on name brand or second hand stuff, the amount she would receive is the same.

Best medicine for depression is to get active
That's right, who needs, morals and ethics. The reason people don't like religion is they don't want anything to make them feel guilty for what they are doing. It's the same old adage, those who don't understand something fear and criticize it. I bet you Tiger Woods wished he had followed some Christian values. (Saturday Dec 5 | post #10)
Additional money helps in fight against gangs
As I said before there are probably members from biker gangs here but there are no actual chapters. Gangs are documented in San Juan County, but there isn't any biker gangs documented. Also, you never see anyone wearing any identifers unless traveling through or here for a rally. If they were to be here they would be close to the Colorado border. Although you did make me laugh, being criticized for grammar and English by you. Thanks. (Saturday Dec 5 | post #84)

Just responding to those making comments to me. If it bothers you so much, go to a different forum. (Saturday Dec 5 | post #136)

Never said every biker was in a gang. I know plenty of people who have a bike. Again, your lips are flapping but nothing of relevence is coming out. The fact that you reference the 50s and 70s shows you have no knowledge on this subject. (Saturday Dec 5 | post #81)

All gangs in reality have chapters. You look at our street gangs, most are connected to the Surenos and pay taxes to them. I have no idea what you point about Bandidos and HA is, I think it has to do with you poor use of the English language. (Saturday Dec 5 | post #80)

It places attention on the charity run making it easier for the gang to slip under the radar. I am not saying they are smuggling guns and drugs along with the toys. Think of it this way, you got a bunch of gang members in one area or place, where is the majority of law enforcement, in the same place. It makes it easier for other members to go under the radar to do other things while everyone is focussed on where the majority are. And on top of that, law enforcement is more hesitant to do anything anyway, because of the "good deed" being done. Plain and simple, gangs don't do anything unless it servers a purpose for the gang and their gang business. Like the kids know what is going on or who Hells Angels are or what they are about. Of course they are going to be happy, they are getting gifts. (Saturday Dec 5 | post #79)
San Juan County approves golf course acquisition in 4-1 vote
You keep saying that the golf course is not profitable, yet you base this solely on the fact that CCSD couldn't make it work. The county had nothing to do with it not working for CCSD. Did you ever think that CCSD didn't manage it the way it needed to, maybe because they had other things to focus on. The county will have far more resources to use than CCSD. If you knew anything about the course you would understand what the potential of adding an additional 9 holes would mean. I am not saying the County should do that right away. The point to my comment was in response to someone saying the land could not be developed, which is not true. Since you have no understanding of business the chances of you ever understanding any of this is slim. (Saturday Dec 5 | post #134)

Dude, if you are that naive, I don't have time to educate you. But we do think a like when it comes to Aztec PD. (Friday Dec 4 | post #71)

You're talking two different things. Are there corrupt police officers, sure, but that has nothing to do with bangers or bikers. As well as, they are the exception, there are far more good ones than bad ones. If phoenix made a deal with HA, which I doubt, that was a huge mistake. You don't make deals with gangs by givng them a green light to commit crime, and worse give them some sort of power and control. Bottom line, any biker gang will tell you they are against the police. I haven't met any police officer or federal agent afraid of any biker club. In fact the feds just took down one of the biggest clubs a little over a year ago in California. Do we have some biker members here, yes, but as far as the whole club, no. Like I said before, Colorado has more of them and being on the border, sure some make their way down here. I have no idea what you are talking about regarding mormons and closet drunks. (Friday Dec 4 | post #69)

LMAO, I just said you were going to respond like this and you did. More name calling and accusations. Your just another anti-government moron. You don't understand something so you fear it and criticize it. It's democracy, if you don't like it, leave. (Friday Dec 4 | post #122)

As usual, you are wrong. And as far as explaining your thoughts, your post is nothing more than name calling and conspiracy theories. And get a reality check or a psych eval if you consider yourself normal. And you say I hate the county, yet you refer to the citizens as hicks. I wish I was making money off this golf course, well maybe I am, since I think this is a good move and that it will work, I think all in San Juan County will profit from it. And are you honestly trying to make everyone believe you can analyze writing styles, compare them, and somehow come up with a profile making the conclusion that 2 different people are the same. Based on your use of grammar, spelling errors, and let's not forget the name calling, yeah you have that skill. That would make you about 10 different people on this forum. And you want to refer to somone as juvenile. Wow! (Friday Dec 4 | post #118)

You just prove my point. As I said people of all ages use golf courses, it's too bad you don't give the elderly any credit. I have golfed with many people into their 80's and guess what, walking a golf course is aerobic exercise. I will be the first to admit that golf is not for everyone, just like swimming isn't. And you prove my point on affordable activity. You do what you want but golf is affordable to many and they shouldn't be criticized or made to feel guilty because of it. And quit crying about not gettinga raise, many people aren't getting raises, including me. Guess what, I am a State employee and am getting no raise and have to take days off without pay. I don't feel sorry for you as San Juan County is one of the richest in the state and many county employees are the highest paid in the state. It would be great for you to get a raise, but like I always tell people, were you guaranteed raises when you were hired, no, and did you know your pay when you started, yes. And please understand you not getting a raise is not because of the golf course and is not going to be the reason if you don't get raises in the future. Do you get that this course has cost the county nothing and won't until they take it over officially and take on the operating cost. So everyone bitching about 175000 dollars, that hasn't been spent yet, and it may not, that number was an estimate. (Friday Dec 4 | post #117)

The comment of ignorance. Maybe that was the case 50 years ago when most golf courses were private or country clubs. Things have changed. Go out to the local courses and take a survey of who is using it. Also, golf around here is some of the most affordable in the country. And lastly, san juan county is not a community on the high end of the economic scale, in fact, we have more families earning at the poverty level than most. (Friday Dec 4 | post #113)

The golf course can also be used by a wide age range of people. Kids of all ages can golf or use practice facilities. As far as cost, $20 for 5 weeks, would be over $200.00 for a year, kids can actually get a golf membership for less than that. And I would challenge you on your point that more people use a pool on a daily basis. This community has a large population of golfers and the numbers would suprise you. Understand that you don't just have to golf the course. You can go to the driving range, chipping area, or practice green and not go on the course at all. And many people do that on a daily basis. Other than the driving range, chipping and putting will cost you nothing. Riverview is also well known for what they offer junior golfers, more than any other local course. You are trying to make the point that the aquatic center is more affordable, which isn't necessarily true. But for argument sake, let's say it is true. So you are saying we shouldn't have any other activities to partake in because of cost. So instead of having sit down restaurants we should just have McDonalds or Taco Bell. Maybe certain activities aren't affordable to everyone, but you can't punish those who can afford it. You want to jump on the band wagon that this was a bad decision because of the cost and economy, fine, but so far nobody has been able to support that argument. Instead those on your side want to tear down the game of golf and what it is or isn't, yet, most making those comments have never golfed in their life or have very rarely. It would be interesting to see the response if something like this happened and let's say it was choke cherry canyon that was in question. Let's say the county or city government decided to use the canyon for something else and no longer allowed motorcylces, ATV, rock crawlers, etc to be done out there. Instead they were going to use the land for something else to increase revenue. This community would be in an uproar. Where can we go to ride our motorcycles, where are we supposed to go, we need places for recreation. Where we going to shoot our guns. My point is just because you don't like a certain activity don't be so quick to dismiss it and fail to look at the big picture. This is a great investment if done right. The course is already there and established. The customer base is already there. If the county is serious about taking over the course it should not fail. I will say this, if it does not work then I will be the first to criticize the county, not for taking it on, but for not doing what it needed to do to make it work. That is really the question here. Now that the county has gotten it, are they going to do what it takes to make it a success. (Friday Dec 4 | post #111)
