This photo (showing the two buildings involved) as asphalt was being applied and leveled on the new parking lot on the NE corner of 13th & Main was taken March 3rd. |
At the 7pm City Commission Meeting Monday City Manager Pam Polk reported the fire was "still under investigation" and provided no additional details. -- Ted 11pm 3/7/2011 |
I just searched through all my recent streetscape photos and located this Feb. 20th view of the March 6th fire site. -- Ted 11:35pm 3/7/2011 |
This is an exact copy of the information that I finally received today (April 5, 2011) from City Manager Pam Polk in reference to the fire between the fire department and funeral home garage on March 6th. I had received no hint of official information on or before the March 25th date flagged on this letter and was surprised to see a "press release" referenced by my competitor's newspaper last week and I immediately requested an official comment from the city then, as I don't take my news from my competitor. I have no problem with the city withholding information until they had finished their initial investigation but am disappointed the information was then selectively released. -- Ted Wright 4/5/2011 |
