Last night I got a phone call from a women within my community. I think that she was offended by my remarks, it will be alright I promise. Her views on the subject were that there is old historic wood within those old buildings. If this were true then we would of heard about it earlier. Leave it to people to come up with some BS to try to slow my progress. She has asked me to attend a city council meeting and talk about this topic, I may give it a try. She also said that she can't believe that a young kid wrote that letter. She also said that they were in the process of bettering the community, I have seen no improvement before so why should I believe it now. Oh well, maybe I have offended a few people but they will get over it. I will keep you informed about what is to come.

I was asked to reflect on what if I had another month to work on my serve learn project. If I had another month I would go to the county clerk and find out who owned the buildings. Once I found out who owned the buildings I would then go and talk to the owners and talk to them about demolishing the buildings. I would make an annoucement on my school braodcasting. I would also work a whole lot harder to try and find out alot more information. Some suggestions for improvement would be the following, the buildings would be torn down and the mess would be cleaned up. There would be more buildings built in Bonnieville. There could be gift shops are little stores. I think that the crime rate and all of the drug bust would go down. Also I think that it would help Bonnieville in not be looked down apon instead the people of the community could look up to Bonnievile. Those are the things I would do if I had another month as well as some of the improvments that would of been accomplished.

Well, my letter has hit the papers. Some people in my community think that I was wrong in the what I had wrote, but I feel that I done no wrong. My teacher and I both agree that the truth hurts, don't like it don't read it. I am sorry, but that is the way I feel. Try to do something good to better your self and surroundings, and you get looked down upon by those who know nothing. I think that if what I have done has offened you in anyway, then maybe you need to look at yourself and realize that you could be the problem. I am only one person and can only do so much but, if I had more time I would continue this project. I would continue writing letters to the editor and e-mail our state rep. again. Which I still haven't heard from, there went a vote! Suggestions for the future would be to talk to more people about this subject and listen to their views on it. I would also try to get the word out alittle better so people could see the pictures of these old run-down buildings. For those of you which believe that this project is uncalled for and are against bettering my community, I have no time for your useless opinions. Finally my project has come to a close, I didn't accomplish what I wanted but I done my best. I thank those who supported me, and could careless about those who didn't. Maybe later this project will be picked up where I left off.

We are pretty much at a stand still in our project. We are trying to post all our pictures on our web page at the moment. We have wrote letters to the editor of our local newspaper, we will keep you informed on how the letters come across. I have emailed our state rep. but have yet to hear from her.

This the letter I wrote to the Hart County News Herald. Should appear in next weeks paper.


Dear Editor,

I have been a resident of Bonnieville for nine years now. Ever since I can remember there have been some buildings in desperate need of repair.
In my opinion I believe these buildings should have been condemned and torn down a long time ago. The way I see it is that if these buildings are of no use to us, then way are they still standing? Not only are they an eye soar but also could become a hazard to small children.
I have found it hard to do anything by my self. The people who own these buildings should have taken it upon themselves to do something about the problem. These buildings have stood long enough; it is time for them to come down.
Maybe I am the only one to notice how junkie Bonnieville is beginning to look, or maybe I am just the only one who cares. This subject has never been brought up in the past, so maybe the people of Bonnieville enjoy being seen as a town in decline.
The reputation Bonnieville has gained is bad enough. Why not do something to better the community, and bring Bonnieville out of the decline that it is in.


Sincerely,


Brian Carver

The buildings in Bonnieville should be removed, so that new buildings could be built there to make Bonnieville look better.
