SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.
Dr APJ Kalam, President of India given during the inauguration of the seminar on “THE EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Corruption as small as this can exist but what the Ricomen are saying could never be true!
Tim Ciani
Tim you miss the point.
Nobody sued. Neighbors complained.
City investigated, then got the police involved.
Also, the yards were full of junk and the man offered to clean it for $100. Can't clean up something that is not dirty.
--------
Ricomen admitted that they had violations. They are suing under civil rights because of their protected class of tenants, not because of the harassment.
Big difference- oh, the city's investigation found their allegations to be untrue. Same with the County. Same with the courtroom.
Nancy Osterman's not suing for RICO and her allegations went nowhere even though she had the purcahse agreement and whitnesses to the actual conversations who not only signed affidavits, but some claimed to have suffered thee same kind of corruptive treatment, so don't say the city did any kind of investigations. They covered it up as was evidenced when they got caught by ricomen shredding documents and destroying emails.They even tore down her house just to let her know who the boss was! Investigatin? Hah!! I'll bet ehy gave these people job promotions and pay increases to shut them up.
Two points. First, this is what happens in the real world when someone is actually suspected of doing the things that are alleged on this blog on a regular basis. If someone uses their position of authority for personal profit and/or to take advantage of someone else there is an investigation and people lose their jobs and if it is criminal they can be prosecuted.
Point 2. 1:23 Nancy didn't own the house when all of these magical incidents occurred. She had her mother sell her mother's house on a contract for deed to someone else. The people who victimized Nancy's mother was Nancy and the gentlemen that acquired the property on a CD from her mother. The City gave them five years to repair the property and they never did.
What was alleged by Nancy was that an employee of the City suggested someone who might be interested in buying the house. In all of the time this blog has been around, nobody has ever shown anything where anyone had a purchase agreement or that the employee was going to benefit in anyway if Nancy sold her mother's house. Of course, Nancy couldn't sell the house because she never owned the house.
What Nancy was able to do was suggest that she was first a victim of the police department that was trying to get her and a victim of the code enforcement people who were out to get her and that somehow she was so important because she was some small time drug abuser that all of these people would jeopardize their careers purely for the purpose of making her life miserable.
I am sure that someone somewhere in the city did look at the suggestion that for no personal profit and no apparent benefit this distressed woman (who was at the time going into treatment) was the target of two city departments...
Sounds like a rock solid case to me.

Chuck you get under my skin when you attempt to discredit so many sad stories here that are true!
In the "real world", give me a break!
Saint Paul isn't the "real world".
It is your commie friends world. And you and your friends want total control over the population even if it means violating constitutional rights.
You and your friends have had many years to dig in like ticks in all facets of local government.
I know you and your friends think you know what is best for us dumb uneducated blue collar masses and in your mind's why should we have a voice. You and your friends have all the answers.
You are happy with low voter turn outs, because this is how you and your friends hold power. I want to change the status quo incite the VAST majority of citizens who do not vote to vote. Bring them into the decision making process. Boy oh boy that scares folks like you.
You would do anything to discredit this forum because it is a threat to the status quo.
Heaven forbid this blog grew in numbers to the point the citizens would put the responsibility of making our streets safe from crime on our city leaders. Hell no, they have been riding the gravy train of the "blame game" for years and this has worked great for them.
Shift the responsibility of public safety onto landlords, bars, and businesses. Spreading crime around the city through a failed POLICE/CODE ENFORCEMENT crime strategy. (get rid of the nest to get rid of the critter) Now comes along this blog challenging the status quo. The only blog like it ever.
Saint Paul is a place where local democrats do what they can to protect a wife battering murderer.(Foster)
Saint Paul is a place where local Democrats run to the aide of a police car bombing mad woman. (Sara Jane Olson)
Saint Paul is a place where the local media doesn't report accurate incidents of crime.
I do, a good job of reporting crime that doesn't hit the papers. Serious crime! Should I shift my focus from 7th. st. to your neck of the woods Chuck? Bet I can dig up a lot of unreported crime over there.
Yeah wanna know how I hear about all that crime on 7th. st. Chuck?
I am more in touch with these streets as much as any cop on the beat.
Chuck, you may sway some ignorant imbecile who just fell on
A Democracy door step, but you aren't impressing any of us who have been reading here for months.
I have reported one true story after another here. When I have made a mistake I took responsibility for it.PERIOD!

And that'll be about it for you Repke. Now that you've been put in your place, how bout you Eric? Wanna come one lst time and spew your shit about ricomen just for old times sake? They're on their was to town big boy and they're pissed. You're going to see a firestorm sweep through the soul and the politics of this city you never thought possible. Let's hear it Eric......sing one for the team for us.
9:27 PM
Chuck I had some respect for you until your post today... I have now lost all respect for you! You do not know the facts and until you do I would suggest you keep your personal thoughts about me and my past to yourself...
Fact one; Ok I owed $4000 more on a CD to my mother if you do not call that owning the home then ok...you got it right...by the way I paid my mother in FULL after the incident!
Fact two; It was not only someone from the police force that threathened me, it was also Mr. Magner.
Fact three; I did recieve a purchase agreement/offer from an associate of Mr. Magners and I still have it. The order was to sell to that particular person or I would be looking at a hole in the ground! I put those words on anything and everything that means anything to me and I have been clean for over four years now...I did not follow the order and guess what we have at 14 E. Jessamine "A HOLE IN THE GROUND" just as I was threatened.
Fact four; I had full authorization from my mother to sell the home, my mother undersyood the situation and that I had no other option but to sell. What would you do with backhoes in your yard...? Oh thats right your Mr. Perfect and never made a mistake in your life!
I took the consequences and paid my dues to society, did the time, went to treatment and put my life back together...I know more then anyone that I made some serious mistakes in my life but I was always taught that two wrongs don't make a right...maybe that works in your world and the world of St.Paul but guess what I am who I am today which is a much better person today then those in the city spotlife hurting peoples personal lives even more then they are hurting already...People need help not additional roadblocks.
Need I go on...?
Thank you
Nancy O.
bob,
check out tonite city council meeting . item 62 discussed
Nancy did it tonite.
Nancy O.
I was very wrong about you and the position the city took when this was first posted on SPIF. I am sorry.
You have turned around your life in so many ways.
As they say a picture speaks a thousand words and those of Magner and the red truck taking things out of your garage was really something.
Keep up the good work!
As for Chuck you are full of it.
I am sorry if my last post was filled with anger but I have never been one to lie or accept lies...even the St.Paul police said I was too honest making myself my worst enemy.
But in reality I almost feel like I owe the city a thank you for chasing me out of hell (St.Paul) and into the heaven I live in now. I love where I am living, I have my own property management business (imagine that)and I will graduate from college with honors in Nov.(Criminal Justice too imagine that too) guess I had plenty of real life experience in that field...lol.
Nancy O.
OK Bob you finally did it, you are the first person on this list to actually say something that pissed me off, you said: "You are happy with low voter turn outs, because this is how you and your friends hold power. I want to change the status quo incite the VAST majority of citizens who do not vote to vote. Bring them into the decision making process. Boy oh boy that scares folks like you."
In a a word Fuck You Bob.
I have spent the last 40 years trying to get people out to vote. That is how I have spent my free time every year since 1968. So, kiss off Bob. I have made thousands upon thousands of phone calls; I have knocked on damn near every door in Saint Paul. I have run political campaigns on a local, congressional and state wide level and you have done what Bob?
Sat here and emailed a bunch of wack jobs who think that they are so important that the entire city of Saint Paul is out to get them.
That will get the voter turn out up.
And, Nancy my friend we have emailed privately, and I wish you the best in your recovery. As I have said to you before I have faith that the healthier you get the more you will be able to take responsibility for what has happened in your life and the less you will believe the police and DSI staff were targeting you personally.
So, why do you never tell the story about who actually had the CD to the place when all of the problems to the property happened and how they ended up with your mom's house and destroyed it?
Come on Nancy, the City didn't put you in this situation, you put your mom's house in these guys hands, they destroyed it and at the last minute you wanted the City to save you from the consequences of all of your behaviors.

Chuck I have more then admitted to my addiction and that yes I did cause the law to be on me...the house did not and by the way drugs were never found in the home, the power was never shut off until ordered by the city, the mess that caused condemnation was from the raid... drug dogs did not sniff out drugs so I guess the force felt it was necessary to tear the place apart and still find....NOTHING.
As I have said over and over again yes I did still owe my mother $4000and I paid her, I pay my bills.
As for my recovery Chuck it is going great, thank you! I am not sure how you feel my recovery will change what happened, the truth is the truth Chuck... no recovery in the world is going to change that, in fact I think if I remember correctly in treatment one of the main causes of addiction is to hid the truth, I hope I am beyond that...maybe you need more meetings for your recovery if you need support I could join you if it would make you feel better... I have helped several others in recovery, even with housing!
Nancy O.
We all know who you called Chuck,
your constituents.

And you sit here and conversate with all us wack jobs.Go to e democracy and see the real kooks there big shot!
And by the way your a lousy campaign manager.How many votes have you mustard up for your budy bucky?
Tim Ciani
Did anybody feel the ground shake in St.Paul?I think theres a quake coming.The Ricomen have been very very quiet.Brace yourself because the other foots going to fall and the fight is coming to a theater near you.Stay tuned!
I am wondering how anyone can sit here and anonymously discredit the credibility of another individual when they were not there for the actual incident in question...? Chuck are you a credible witness to the ricomen claims or mine..? If not, how can you make such statements?
Chuck yourself and few others (very few) are making your judgements on a biased self influenced opinion due to your position within the city and need for the city, and the fact that you read and comprehend only what you feel will support your personal feelings out of the court summaries does not give you the credibility to make a judgement in any case, oh thats right... you also go on to state its just "your opinion" and that in reality means...??? Not much.
Nancy O.
Tim you little pretend person, do you still hide behind your mother's skirt in public?
Well, I haven't been Thune's campaign manager in a long time, but having been active in his campaign I will remind you that in 2003 when he made his comeback he was opposed by the Mayor of Saint Paul Randy Kelly and the out going Council member Chris Coleman and he was outspent by almost 3 to 1 and his opponent spent over $100,000 the most that has ever been spent on a City Council campaign and he won anyway. So, he got enough votes.
And this last time we had every scum ball out there giving money under the table to Thune's opponent and subsidizing his opponent's pretend business so that his business could "donate" more money to the campaign then it had made the year before and he had every cigarrette smoker in the City ticked off at him, and he got enough votes to win again.
So, sounds to me like it was a pretty successful campaign.

Chuck Repke
No Nancy, I make my opinion about your stories because you neglect to mention the people that you sold the house to and their problems keeping the house up.
Your continued willingness to lie about what occured and how many years the property was under order to be repaired is what makes me question your credibility.
I worked in corrections from 1974 until 1989. I got no trouble sorting out people who are working at getting their shit together from those that are protecting their criminal past.

Chuck Repke
Chuck I did sell my home to someone that the city did not approve or I should say Mr.Magner did not approve, then the city also threatened that person if they were to buy it they faced consequences...That statement I was not a witness too. I was not allowed to continue working on my home according to city officials statement and they had backhoes in my yard(or my mothers in your mind cause yes she still held the deed)so yes I had to sign off immediatley which left me with a bad check for the home. The fact still remains that Mr. Magner did instructed me that I could only sell to the person he sent or someone he approved, I am sorry I thought this was a free country.
I have never hidden my past or denied it Chuck and DO NOT PLAN TO START so your theory that " you got no trouble sorting out people who are working at getting their shit together from those that are protecting their criminal past" may be correct for a percentage of the individuals that you have dealt with...but guess what I also am in the small percentage that has been able to stay clean and law abidding and was according to CPS the first one in 18 years to beat the case I did and turn my life around as I have to get my children back, in fact I am still in contact with the gaurdian ad liten that uses my cause as an example yet today. So Chuck you can discredit me til your heart desires, someday you will realize and accept the fact that I am not your typical or average statistic on an addict or whatever label you would like to attache to me.
Nancy O.
Chad Staul, assistant city attorney filed for an opinion with the IPAD to see whether code enforcement would be required to release information about St.Paul residents who had their power shut off for more than 30 days and the reasons why.
A citizen or citezens first asked ex-cel to release the addresses and they refused.
Ex-Cel then gave the addresses and reasons for shutoffs to code enforcement.
The citizen tried to get the info from code and got turned down.
The IPAD opinioned that code enforcement must release the info to citizens.
Anybody know whats up here ?
IPAD opinion 08-022
11:39 is Jeff Matiatos.
"So, why do you never tell the story about who actually had the CD to the place when all of the problems to the property happened and how they ended up with your mom's house and destroyed it?"
WTF???......this story has been told so many times it makes me sick to even hear about it again. The story goes all the way back to when Lee Helgen thought it was good news that Jessamine was tore down. Remembe that Repke? Back when the only help your type had for Nancy was telling her how the property owners were using her. Guess what Repke? The property owners till are still standing by her and have nothing to gain from her now, the house is gone, but the people who supported her then stand behind her now.
Because that would make Chuck look bad in the eyes of his friends in the city...some people get favors from the city and others suffer it depends who you know and who you make upset thats reality. I know and many others know the truth that is all that really matters, my life has improved so much the last time I even drove in the Jessamine area I had to think twice before even stopping for a red light!
I am thinking maybe I will get my mother to write a post stating how she feels about this whole topic and then Chuck can try to degrade her too...Lets see statistics show that addiction runs in the family....hmmmmmmmmm my mom don't drink (or do street drugs), my brothers don't and guess what neither did my grandparents, guess we blame the neighborhood environment!
Nancy O.
What up Eric? You're pretty quiet. I've talked to the ricomen in the last few days and they have a suprise for your beloved little city. Tell us about the bad properties again eric and how they don't take care them. They're "bad boys" Eric and need admonsihment. Go head and give r a spin man!
Chuck said;
I have run political campaigns on a local, congressional and state wide level and you have done what Bob?
my response;
Chuck I haven't run a campaign, and all I have to show for over 700hours of debating on the Internet on behalf of our President, is a large portrait of him and Laura signed with a personal message of gratitude to me. I was deeply honored when it came in the mail with a return address
"The President Of The United States"
Chuck, I have had it with the non sense crime strategy this city has. I am determined to make changes and so are many others. Even the criminals on the street are talking about how bad it is getting.
I have an offer to the RICO guys.
For 3 years I have fought this good fight and I have kept your issues in the lime light. I know at times I may of pissed you off, but, I have never turned my back on the housing issues. I feel you owe me.
DON'T FORGET THIS > The local media has been a puppet of the city for years and assisted the city in the "blame game" of shrugging personal responsibility of public safety onto landlords and other businesses.
IF, you win this case at a trial, I want you to give me the EXCULSIVE on your story. Meaning, if a reporter wants to talk to you inform him he has to come to A Democracy Town Hall to speak with you.
You will be empowering citizens! And it won't cost you a dime!
Repke and Eric will be giving you a lot of competition Bob. Repke will be jockying to be the spin agent for ricomen so he can control how the story that he's denied for yeara gets played out in the press.
"Fact four; I had full authorization from my mother to sell the home, my mother undersyood the situation and that I had no other option but to sell."
And you know what? Nancy did not need her mothers permission to sell. Nancy had a CD. That automatically puts her in title, which gives her the right to sell.
"Of course, Nancy couldn't sell the house because she never owned the house."
If Nancy had a CD, she COULD have sold the house. Nancy says she had a CD. I doubt she would say she had a CD if she didn't. so how was she not the owner of the house????

"I have never hidden my past or denied it Chuck and DO NOT PLAN TO START"
Nancy,
You do not have to defend yourself to those who want to sling mud on you and diminish who you are. You are a great person, and whatever you have done in the past is between you and God...since He is the only one who can judge you.
Wishing you continued success in all you do!
9:54pm, 4:28am & 5:33am I would like to thank you for standing by me and having faith in me, I really appreciate it. 5:33am you are correct I do not need to defend myself or my past... my past is just that "my past".
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Again thank you...

A little quiet aren't we Eric. You down with the flu or something. Slither on up to the troff here and sling us some of that ricoman shit. How bout you Chuck? Wanna take one final swing at them? They're bad boys Chuck and need punishment. Let em have it! How about you Amanda? Sally on over here and let r rip!
I thought about giving you support Nancy. I didn't think you needed it. You serve up a good can of woop ass all by yourself. :-)
OK Timmy here are the numbers for you. In 2007 Ward 2 had the highest number of voters of any ward 5155 and Thune had 2733 votes 53.5%. It has the 4th highest number of registered voters and in a normal election comes in 4th so coming in first says something. Also it was the only Ward to have a turnout over 30%. City average was closer to 15%.
In 2003 Ward 2 again had the highest turnout 5403 votes, though you have to give some credit to this list's favorite Mayor, Randy Kelly and the outgoing council member campaigning for Thune's opponent as well as her $100,000 campaign war chest. Thune had 2677 votes 49.5% so the "write in" votes could have held sway in that election (thanks Mickey!).
So, when Bob or you babble about voter turnout and the "insiders" those numbers show how little you know.
If you all on this list hate Randy Kelly and Randy Kelly gets all of his money people to give to Thune's opponent and not to Thune doesn't that mean that there are other people who like Thune? And if everyone who likes Randy doesn't vote for Thune, then Thune has to get his votes somewhere else...
My point was every city election every campaign works their butts off to try and increase voter turn out. That is why they put up signs, knock on doors, send mailings... its the point of campaigning.
And Bob 700 hours, nice start.

Ok Chuck first of all you are being very ignorant... No I did not say the dogs caused the code compliance, of course they didn't...What I did say was the dogs did NOT sniff out drugs because there were none but the police were determined to find some so yes they tore the house apart which caused the "condemnation" and the follow up to that was I either become an informant or I would recieve the code compliance...
Next issue; the time I was allowed was not all them years Chuck... this is the time frame I was allowed after that I was no longer allowed to perform work on the home and as it ended up I had to sell;

Gee Chuck if you look at my records better you would realize that I was in that home for about 30 years or better with me being the owner (on a CD) for 20 of them years and if I recall correctly I never had write ups for problems until this incident. Next time try to get your facts first please, I can help you with that if need be...

Oops sorry forgot this part on the last post;
11/13/2002: Building Permit Issued
08/05/2003: PERFORMANCE DEPOSIT: FORFEITED
Yes Chuck my bond was forfeited I was not able to satisfy the work orders in the time allocated to me just as I was threatened I would not be able to if I did not become an informant. Those orders from Mr. Johnston were to write me up beyond my abilty to repair cause they would have me busy taking care of other legal issues... The dollar figure for repairs Mr. Johnston wanted written up were to be for around $25,000, I guess he felt that would be more then I could handle.
Actually Chuck none of this even matters anymore... I am gone, the house is gone, I am happy, the city is happy and Jessamine is a much more livable place now...for who I don't know cause I wouldn't move back to that area if I was given a free home. Hey maybe you could try your luck at some more condo's on Jessamine with the help of the city and their funds of course, being that you did so well with your last project on Maryland & White Bear!
Have a wonderful evening, I know I will...

Repke stick that in your pipe!Nancy that was very witty and correct.the white bear condo project was a flop and still sits empty-way to go Chuckie.

This woman is nothing to mess with Chcuk. I's steer clear if I were you. She'll out do you every time, and you know why that is Chcuk? It's because her and her self serving, status seeking good foor nothing landlord using friends that exploit and use her are the ones who are right
OK Nancy and then what happened?
What goes on between 2003 and 2006?
Three more years pass without the building being repaired.
All the City's fault.
Yes you were such an important Mob king pin that they were out to get you...blah, blah, blah...

No Chuck I was not a Mob King Pin...what I was is an associate of someone that Joel Johnston from the SPPD made very clear he wanted and he wanted my help or I would face his consequences that included the help of code inspectors. The reaction when I said I would not work with the SPPD on getting that individual made it appear that he had a personal vandetta on that individual.
So Chuck you feel it is ok for me to recieve very limited time for the repairs...and the list grew as I tried to comply, then its ok for Mr. Magner to order me to sell to one of his associates for a very rock bottom price and make threats to me if I didn't...?
I do have a question for you Chuck...
If the home was such a hazard to society then how would that differ if I was to become their informant..? Remember if I would become their informant my home would no longer need to be condemned or have a code compliance... So by snitching all them health hazards of the home must just simply fix themselves I am assuming...correct..???
As for those years after I sold the home...one answer I have is I guess I should of sold to Thune they he could still be working on it for next the 10 years and get away with it!

Chuck for someone that has worked in corrections your either not very smart or they kept you uninformed of what happens in the real world when it comes to undercover investigations and their techniques to get people to become informants... I have several friends in law enforcement and I would assume you do as well, don't they trust you enough to talk to you about the streets and how they get individuals to cooperate with the investigating...?
Nancy O.
Nancy what happened between 2003 and 2006?
You said you only had nine months to get the work done, what happened for the next three years?

Chuck what don't you understand...? I was forced to stop the work and sell after nine months, ask the guy that bought it what happened... From what I had observed the house was coming along great and near completion, and according to a truth n housing report from a private co. that I had done it was in good condition structually and all...like I said unless your Thune or someone else affiliated with the city the rules differ.
Nice try Chuck...
Nancy O.
Chuck I answer your questions now I have also asked you a question at 10:15am and you failed to answer...why???
Nancy O.
Nancy, I don't buy the assumption that anything would have been any different with code enforcement had you done the right thing and helped the police.
I think the word used in recovery is grandiosity.
Think about this Nancy is what you believe is true, why did they let the guys you sold it to screw around with the house for three more years?
All of this pressure on you to be an informant and to sell the property to Magner's friend happened back when you were using in 2002 right?
So, you sell it to two other clowns that never repair the building but dink along and dink along and never get anything done on the building. So, in 2006 what happens does all of these City people suddenly remember who you are and how they wanted to screw with you?
Nancy, next time your in group ask them what grandiosity means and how it might have an impact on your recovery.
Your friend.

Chuck I think you will find a difference here I had a drug addiction you are in recovery from alcholism here is some more info for your recovery, hope it helps you...
Drunkalogue...
is an oft-repeated presentation of one’s drinking career. Such presentations are known
for their rote delivery and for the grandiosity they often contain. While drunkalogues
seem to serve a recovery maintenance function for some individuals, the negative aspects
of the drunkalogue (wallowing in the “what we were like” phase of one’s story) have led
groups (e.g., LifeRing Secular Recovery) to promote “soberlogues” as an alternative: a
presentation that focuses on one’s current life in sobriety rather than in the past
(Handbook of Secular Recovery, 1999, p. 31). It is important, however, not to
underestimate the therapeutic functions (problem acceptance, identity affirmation,
recommitment) that such periodic recounting serves for some individuals in recovery.
Dry Drunk… refers to a period of self-imposed abstinence that, minus a broader recovery process,
magnifies all of the alcoholic’s character defects, e.g., intolerance, resentment,
grandiosity, jealousy, etc. (see Emotional Sobriety, Wellbriety).

Before you even say it yes Chuck I know an addiction is an addiction, but there are some variations as well, when it comes to alcohol many people have memory lapses I do not have that issue and never have...in fact I have an excellent memory, sorry Chuck you can attempt to bash me as much as you would like people that know me know better and can see right through you and what you are trying to do.
Chuck I never stated all city employees are dishonest but whether you care to recognize it or not there are a few that really should be under internal investigation. As with any wrong doing I am sure one day it will catch up to them it always does.
Nancy O.
Nancy my friend, what I am saying is that whatever happened in 02 you were able to have nine months to repair the property and didn't. You were then able to sell the house and the City allowed whoever you sold it to almost three more years to fix the house and they didn't.
For you to think that 3, 4 years later that the reason why this thing still isn't fixed is because someone is out to get you concerns me.
I tend to think when I don't accomplish something in 4 years it has more to do about me.

Chuck I really don't care to dispute this issue any longer it has been years now and I am who I am and where I am now having learned very much from my mistakes. I know I made mistakes I just didn't feel the approach the city took on it was very professional or proper. There are much better ways to handle addiction/behavior issues then the way the city has decided too. Look around at what many area's of St.Paul has become, its not a pretty picture in my eyes... Thats where I have concerns Chuck. I have accomplished more in the past four years then a lot of individuals do in a lifetime, I am happy and doing the best I have ever done in my life.
My concern now is more focused on helping others in which I am planning to continue my education after I recieve my bachelors degree this fall to fulfill my goals of helping others put their lives back together. Whether you care to believe in me or not is not an issue, I have some people that are very thankful to me for having faith in them and helping them get back on the right road already... That is what I find important, I believe their are many good people out there but the addiction has taken control of their life, they just need the proper help and encouragement versus being degraded and lead to believe they are worthless to society. I have made many goals and accomplished many with a few more that might surprise some people...
Lets move on now and have a great weekend...
Nancy O.
