Missing posts

If it seems as if I've been missing in action, I'm sorry. Some of my posts seem to have been lost in the ether as soon as they're posted. Try, try again.

I've been getting lots of questions about Cedar Center, especially since the newspaper stories about the developer from California pulling out of the deal. I want you to know that your city government is still committed to making the new Cedar Center a reality. It's going to happen. There are other developers who are interested in doing the project, and doing it well. That location is hot. That's why Whole Foods chose it, and the retailers at University Square, too. It's the last buildable corner in the middle of what the demographics folks see as the center of a dense population with money to spend. This is a bump in the road, but we're still moving forward.

Tonight at council meeting we said goodbye (actually "see you later") to police chief Matt Capadona. Matt's retiring and taking on the job as head of security at Notre Dame, so he's not even leaving town. I wish him well. Now we'll have to find someone else who knows how to work that temperamental grille at the community center.

I hope you'll come to the Ward 4 meeting at 8pm on October 25 at the community center. We'll be announcing the winners of the Gorgeous Gardens Awards. At 7pm, please come to an energy forum, to learn about alternative energy, energy conservation, and ways to cut your winter heating bills.

Be well,
Jane
