John Veasey's Notebook - 10/27/08

Received a call from David Garcia, who said that every­thing looks good thus far for the dog park following Tuesday evening’s meeting. “We had around 22 people attend the meeting,” he said, “including (commissioner) Randy Elliott and (city coun­cilman) Bill Burdick. “There’s a lot of interest in this project, and I think it will make a difference for Fairmont,” David said. Arsena McIntire says she believes the dog park is a “great idea for Marion County.” She has a 3-year-old German shepherd named Hondo who enjoys playing with other dogs but says "our leash laws prohibit that."
