    Thanks Mr. Frain. Well appreciated. Just because I lost does not mean that I will not be involved. I will gear up for an Election Next Year.

    Once again, Mr. Frain it is refreshing to see you taking the high road and being positive.

    It is a true shame that the "silent majority" of voters did not make the 10-minute effort to come to the polls and cast their vote. The out-come would have been different.

    I care about Community and will continue to do so.

    While i agree that smoking is bad for us. The part i have trouble understanding is when do we quit taking are rights away. Do we really have any left.
