"In the time of your life--live." That time is short and it doesn't return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, and the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, loss, loss, unless you devote your heart to its opposition (--Tennesse Williams)
Could everyone write one simple essay about something that once happened in Saltaire…that they saw or were a part of…and put it on one big website? Somebody should collect a lot of stories before we all forget. Otherwise it is like a line in “On The Beach” : The history of the war that now would never be written.” -(JO'H)
As far as Saltaire's Constabulary always being awake, I would dispute that. Almost every morning shift I had, I would have to go to Mark Heller's house and get the walkie-talkie,as he always slept through his shift!
Perverts????? To quote folksingers Peter, Paul @ Mary----"PREVERTS---the child's life is ruined". The stress of protecting the village took its toll--many Police/Security alums still suffer from PES--Post Enforcement Syndrome--"Please get off the bicycle you are riding at night illegally", was often met with hostility and physical intimidation---we needed Taser guns, Mace and Lollipops to properly enforce the rules--sadly all Mayor Ervin and the other elected officials wanted the "Force" to do was "pledge" not to inhale the smoke a particular herb which was popular at the time----- "while on duty"!!! This draconian violation of our ability to enjoy "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness" while at work, was overwhelmingly voted down by force members at a joint session of the membership held in the old "horseshoe shaped" officials table at Village Hall.
You say that this violation of your civil rights was voted down at a "JOINT" session of the membership of the Force? Were the ballots taken on Zig-Zag rolling paper? Any possibility of a lawsuit against the village for violating your civil rights at this late date?

It's not the flag that is backwards, rather it is the Saltaire Gendarmes that are backwards.
Quick - someone wake Phil up - it looks like he's asleep

THE LONG HAIRED FREAKS - THEY LOOK LIKE ANARCHISTS - THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE OLD GLORY OUT AND BURN IT ALONG WITH THEIR DRAFT CARDS
Get those Hippies off the stage---and into uniforms! Little did they know what subversives they were or would become.

Didn't you really mean to say what perverts they were or would become?
