Farewells needed for Capellini
Dear Editor:
The administration recently heaped praise on those commissioners who had served the city for a few months. Noticeably absent from the departing elected officials was Mayor Albert Capellini. No matter what the circumstances or what your feelings are about the former mayor, this was a man who had served the city for 20 years, with the last 16 being as the mayor. He should have been given the opportunity to say his farewells.
I don’t buy the argument that he was suspended and therefore not entitled. The manager had no problem putting Al in his car and taking him to the MPO meeting to speak on behalf of the city in getting the stimulus money for the Dixie flyover. I think that the city showed a lack of class in not extending the invitation.

Discrimination at the flea market?
Dear Editor:
On Sunday, Mar. 15, my husband and I left on a bus from Century Village with 22 other residents for a trip to the Festival Flea Market at Sample Road. When we arrived, we all went to the information table to get Festival Discount Coupons.
The woman at the table gave us a hard time. She said that Century Village has to give her a list of names of people coming to the Festival.
It’s funny that people who are coming from hotels, motels and their houses aren’t subject to such discriminatory requirements. Festival doesn’t mind when folks from Century Village leave our money with vendors – which is often quite a bit. When my husband and I were told to take up our problem with their administration office, we spoke to another woman and received the same reply.
My husband and I will now think long and hard before returning to a place which discriminates against Century Village residents.
