To the county commissioners did you think we forgot about the silence and also your lack of attendance?All you proved to us is that you are a inept unconcerned group drawing unearned paychecks.You say one thing and do another you also worked with SAM wright to allow reef to go un checked so them greenbacks could flow.DO you sleep good at night knowing that a small group that was supposed to be shut up has now began to see your removal?yOU WILL BE REMOVED ALSO WHEN IT ALL COMES OUT AND THE PEOPLE KNOW ALL THE TRUTH THEN i promise a shake up will happen .AND WHEN WHOEVER IS IN MONTGOMERY IS NOT ALLOWED TO HELP YOU ANYMORE ,WHAT WILL YOU DO?IGUESS YOU CAN LINE UP BEHIND THE SYLACAUGA CITY COUNCIL AND APPLY FOR THEM UNEMPLOYMENT CHECKS.IF YOU NEED HELP FILLING THEM OUT .CLARA ,VICKIE OR SANDY CAN HELP YOU WITH THE SPELLING.

you know when this whole thing started with REEF there was no one to stand beside 3 ladies who were laughed at and told that they had no credibility,ms clara ms vickie and ms sandy.are you laughing now?are you still acting as if these ladies still cant make a difference?Well look around and count the numbers they are growing at a fast rate as well as their credibility .DUE TO THEIR HARD WORK AND DILLIGENCE.The people have a voice now and we hope it carries over to election time.If we the people had a candidate such as ms clara to run against fielding and pruitt would thier credibility kick yalls butts?Think on that because it might be a losing proposition for you gentleman after your ignorance of the populace.And what about sylacauga as a whole?If miss vickie or ken horn throwed their hats in the ring for mayor,would thier credibility whoop the best you gotsuch as heigle murphree ,smith and ol sam himself?We as the people think so .So dont any of you councilman think your going to make mayor so go home and save your money.And we know plenty good people that could take your seats such as steve terell or his wife .they also put effort in this matter and we thank them.And if ol bg gets off his back well he could do a heck of a job now he knows all the facts.CREDIBILITY before you were so smug in those 3 piece suits and uppity in your thinking ,you should have rememberd they are still true honest god fearing CREDIBLE People who are still willing to make a difference.So my question is do you have any credible unemployment lined up?OH and the guy who does car commercials who calls himself the fighter ?man your a joke save your money too and get a real job.Iam asking for all your resignations because of your lack of job performance.Hey now yall can go swim at reef and play beach ball.I think all the credible people i mentioned would do just fine without you .

BG - That picture is updated; I'm 68 years old! Am I supposed to be other than "butt ugly"? I shall look around but that is probably the best I can do!

Sincerely,

Bosley Alderman

BG - the meeting is March 4th at 6:00 pm.

AggieMom - here is my point. There are people who have been working on this problem for over a year. Unfortunately, the middle and upper-class people in Sylacauga, have, for the very most part ignored the situation - out of sight, out of mind, right?

As I said, we have to take EVERY opportunity to keep this in the news. Believe me, people read these forums and it does make an impact. I'm sorry if you got caught in the line of fire but, you are not the first one; we bring up REEF in every article we can.

Here's an example. You apparently are a sports-mother; would you like for your child to play on the ball fields at your Twin Street? If I had children, they would not. The toxic fumes are enough to make people sick - ask Birds and others if you do not believe me.

It's apparent that you are on "our" side; given thatwe will see you Thursday night at 6:00 at the community center; please wear an Aggie shirt so as to identify yourself or walk around and introduce yourself to us.

Please bring as many of your friends as possible. We had 60 at the last meeting, it would be great to have double that. We're counting on you and others like you to help pick up the slack.

Sincerely,

Bosley Alderman

BA, I didn't miss your point, I happened to be friends with Clara Curtis and have spoken with her several times about REEF and my concerns with it and how it has affected the lives of many of my family members. In fact, I was at her house the day before the 1st meeting of The Concerned Citizens. I know that this toxic contamination in Sylacauga cannot and should not continue, and yes I have been involved with several people concerning this issue.

I think you missed my point. I was not saying any of your concerns or the concerns of others were not important. I was only trying to correct a misstake in the paper. Don't jump on my or others about the Reef situation without knowing where we stand on the issue.

600pm BG its going to be great to see how many are really concerned or just giving lip service.politicians are welcome but no lip service allowed.miss clara and miss vickie and all the rest of us will be there and i promise it will be informative.THERE ARE SO MANY THAT say but dont do i sometimes wonder if sylacauga is being put to sleep with gas or long boring political speeches.

BG et al,

I think AggieMom is missing the point.

First, everything in Sylacauga relates to REEF as it is indicative of the lack of care that most people have for their neighbors. I've not noticed her posting regarding the smell, the acrid fumes and especially how it negatively affects our friends in the Mill Village and Walco.

Second, she doesn't understand that we have to keep the topic alive. A few of us care and we're going to use every chance we get to bash REEF and our government until the problem is solved.

Aggiemom - there is a big meeting of the Sylacauga Concerned Citizens group this Thursday at the community center in Sylacauga. You're more than welcome to attend; you help us and we'll cheer for the Aggies.

Sincerely,

Bosley Alderman

ive got a truck load where can i park?

Why don't you keep your comments to the article mentioned. If you want to talk about personal matters, exchange emails or phone numbers. The comment I made was strictly to have the above mentioned article corrected, not to have any bashing going on. I don't think the DH intended for this to become a forum for smashing talking. I am a concerned citizen of Sylacauga and I am very concerned with what goes on with our children. And yes, sometimes, its sports. Sports do help mold young people into to strong adults. It teaches valuable life lessons, and it also gives these young men and women, memories that will last a lifetime.

Nothing was meant by my comment, other than setting the record straight. If you want to support the community, go out and support a child at any sporting event, it just might do you some good as well.

BG - I am glad to hear you are making some progress albeit having to go through pain to get there. Be careful, however. The epidural pain block is exactly what they give to some women during child-birth! The implications are staggering!

Aggiemom - we all do have lives! They involve reacting to those who should be doing something better than worrying about baseball scores!

Hello BG! How is the back?

Sincerely,

Bosley "3 strikes and yer out" Alderman

To everyone on here, the comment about the correction was about the kids, not Reef or anything else. I have family that has been affected by the stinch, but a County Baseball Championship has nothing to do with that. Get a life!! And by the way the Sylacauga Aggies are the 2010 County Champs!!! Just saying.

i have noticed reef shuts down operations when there is a big to do at the ball fields.is it by coincedense?no not at all because we have a lot of folks from out of town.The embaressment of this place [REEF] is trying to be hid and the kids need to breathe .But what about the ones who endure the daily exsposure?does any one care?I see on other sites such as mignon people talking about what a shame the mill village has become.Well do something about it and dont just say i have my memories.JOIN us in our fight against this atrocity,GOD didnt make us to be cowards,speak up and use your GODgiven rights.our next meeting will be march 4 at 6pm j.craig community center.we all need to stand together in this fight and not just say oh well it used to be nice.children are still here and need to grow up in a good enviroment just like you did .PLAY BALL.

You're correct. All they care about ARE sports; However, Sylacauga is NEVER any good at ANY sport. SO WHAT IF THEY WON BACK2BACK STATE 15 YEARS AGO. What have they done after that??????

Ah, but MyOtherStick, you've finally hit upon something the good folks of Sylacauga care about - sports!

Most of them do not care that their neighbors in the Mill Village and Walco are suffocating from the stench of REEF but, by God, let the DH misstate how many times someone has won a non-important championship and they go bonkers!

Citizens of Sylacauga - there is life outside of the ball field; wake up and look around!

Sincerely,

Bosley Alderman

Just like Sylacauga fans. Its always, "look at us" " dont leave us out" " we are better than you" " give us credit". Blah, Blah, Blah. Get over it . 4years. 6 of 7. 9 of 12 Who cares.

Please correct your article. Childersbug has NOT won the County Championship for the last 7 years. Sylacauga won it in 2006. I know this to be a correct statement because my son was on the team and the championship game was played in Munford on one of the coldest nights that I have ever sat at to watch a baseball game. Please give credit where credit is due!!! Go Aggies!!!!
