Six blind Mayors, six blind Mayors
See how they vote, see how they vote
They all wanted a YMCA
But the public didn’t see it that way
When asked if Highlands was going to pay
All the expenses for the YMCA
No one would say

This is beyond fascinating. Not two short weeks ago, elected officials were tripping over themselves in trying to lay claim to being the mastermind behind a YMCA to be located in the Town of Shelburne.
Shelburne can’t sustain a Tim Horton’s, but somehow…a YMCA becomes a feasible option? But I digress.
However when a ratepayer began asking the hard questions-like why would Melancthon residents, who already pay toward 3 arenas and two pools pay toward a YMCA and would Highland Companies be paying the capital costs for the construction of the facility… the following are the responses that were elicited.
Ed Crewson: October 17 – “I should not be credited with the idea of a YMCA”
Ed Crewson: October 18- “...John Lowndes introduced the YMCA idea..”
Highland Companies, October 21 – “...the mayors of six area municipalities requested that the region be considered a candidate for YMCA programs and services.”
Ed Crewson: October 23- “The truth is that the idea of contacting the YMCA originated with John Lowndes”
POLITICIANS: Be sure to form an orderly line or someone will get trampled in the stampede to get away from this issue.

Strike the band and man the lifeboats… just like the Titanic, I think the YMCA is sinking.
Is that good or bad-you decide.
In my opinion however, it would be good if Highlands were NOT associated with this little endeavour.
