Today I stopped in at the Handy Creek Bakery in Wheeler to pick up some tasty treats and meet Erin Laskey. Erin impressed me as a kind, enthusiastic young mother with some wonderful ideas regarding the future of NCRD. After chatting for about 20 minutes, I felt like she would make an excellent representative reflecting the family values that I and most of my friends hold with high regard. My friends tend to be people that work in the construction trades, Dairy Farmers, work at the bank, deliver your rock or concrete, our first responders or work at the lumber yard – you know, the folks that work hard and get things done around here. Erin struck me as someone who would do a great job representing those of us that don’t have a lot of time to get involved but appreciate what NCRD offers them and their families. I offered to put one of her yard signs up for her. In the past, I have put up yard signs for candidates in my friends pasture at the corner of Hwy. 53 and Northfork rd., only to have them stolen within 24 hours. During the 23 years I have been part of this community, I believe this is only the second post I have ever sent to the BBQ. So my ask is, if you are planning on voting for the person that is running against Erin, don’t steal Erin’s sign. Don’t try to silence the opposition. Our community is too great to lower to such intolerant tactics.
