THE ISSUES WE ARE FACING (cont.) <br /> <br /> <br />The University has brought in people who don’t appreciate the contributions of older <br />families. <br /> I learned at U of O about natural resources but not in the context of deep family <br />heritage as described by Jennifer. We are seeing natural resource industries versus the newer <br />political environment. 50/50 is not just based on length of time in town. It is not old versus new. <br /> <br />Long term results are more important than immediate profit. Environmental stewardship <br />is the next important principle. <br /> It is possible to both enjoy a rugged hike and a nice cup of tea <br />on the same trail i.e. new growth ~ thus people can also enjoy Oakway Water Center. I agreed <br />th <br />with many of every person points, loved 5 street market and also Oakway. <br /> <br />Council cannot be expected to solve the perceived “culture war” but can be a model for <br />cultural discourse. <br /> Council needs to be a role model for problem solving. We focus too much <br />on the bad, and we label ourselves. I heard Andrea say that she was uncomfortable having this <br />conversation. I am discouraged. There is “dismay” that we are focused on the divided council <br />as a subject matter. <br /> <br />Council role is to model how the community can work together and we should be that <br />model for good governance and leadership. <br /> Let’s show leadership by focusing on our <br />collective interests and potential. The community really wants the same thing…a goal for a great <br />community. We need to recognize that we share that. <br /> <br />We are saying a lot of the same stuff so let’s focus on sameness for progress. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 9 <br />
