Boone County Journal article...clarification

The May 28 issue of the Boone County Journal contained a piece by Bob Balgemann mentioning the Pride being on the agenda of the Poplar Grove Administration Committee. Some residents not affiliated with our group attended the meeting and again requested authorization from Poplar Grove for Candlewick to incorporate. None of us from the Pride were in attendance. Their request was again denied with the village president making the point he doesn't believe Candlewick is moving forward with a referendum and if they submit the petition to the county court Poplar Grove will take it through the committee process and act with input from their citizens.

We have had questions from some who miss-interpreted the article to mean the Pride is supporting the incorporation effort. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are sure Bob, the author, had no intention of making it appear as such but as in many situations, meanings can be considered differently. We want to make it very, very clear we feel it would be disastrous for Candlewick to incorporate and we intend to continue our quest to make our case.

Thank you so much to those who asked the question so we could clear up any doubt.
