I'm retired and don't want the stress. I ran because I wanted to help the community, but the people made their choice and we all have to suffer the consequences because of bad decisions that are made.

That's really our thing. And stress release. If we can help people shake off the stress and live a little longer.

I really and truly hope we are able to get somebody who is going to do a good job and not have another situation like we just had and have had in the past.

They were active in the community because they were people-people. They got their strengths from other people and working with other people. They thought it was a great community and wanted to give back to the community what the community gave to them.

It's a really good program, good people. They help people get back on their feet and back into the community ... pregnant mothers, families in crisis and transition, domestic violence victims.

The response was just amazing. So many people from the community stepped up to help, the numbers are just tremendous. The whole community came out and really gave everything they had.
