I was told that all permits

were applied for and that at the last minute approval for

marksmanship and archery events were denied. I was also

told that if they should happen to hold such events there

would be consequences to such actions up to and including

arrest. I had no reason to doubt the veracity of these

comments, as I thought they came from reliable sources.

These same people, now,

will not back up their statements; therefore, I must

assume they were not telling me the complete story or

perhaps even the truth.

I admit I made an error in

judgment trusting these people and not talking to Chief

James Murray directly. I did make my comments, perhaps in

haste, due to the fact that my son was going to the day

camp and was quite disappointed that the above mentioned

events had to be canceled. I was quite upset at the turn

of events and incorrectly blamed the police chief for

what apparently was not his fault. I am sorry if I caused

any embarrassment to Chief Murray.
