Community's youth

I am so glad my kids are grown and graduated!!! I shipped my
final "baby" home to college in Houston this past year.
I dealt with all these same problems: what to do with young
adults in a boring climate, Kay-Hi and the total fiasco that
Revilla has become, all the "same-old-same-old" for
YEARS. Personally, I never found anyone in a position to make
a solution who actually gave a damn - from mayors to school board
and so on. I don't really see that anyone elected in this town
cares --- though it does look nice to say you do on a campaign
poster when one is running for a position in local government,
huh?!!!
Sports are a wonderful "escape" for kids in this area
and we, as adults, should know how very few "escapes"
there are --- for anyone! There COULD BE many other worthwhile
avenues for our young people here.
I think anyone with a good
"sports" idea -- -or ANY OTHER idea to involve the
young in our community in doing anything -- -(besides meth or
oxy) --- should be encouraged to come forward and have full
community support! This community could help our young if vibrant
ideas rose to the top instead of being shot to the bottom prior
to being given a chance!
