The par 3 could have been saved. Dana had collaborated with investors who were each willing to contribute. She was able to get funds both large and small. This would have turned it into the people's park. The golf course would have to been let go for park. Jim Barrios convinced the council of the tax exempt dollar signs. Les Thomas agreed with Dana, saw the money to save it. She fought through the 11th hour. Sad but true. Someone that looks at this and thinks temporary money gains, not community or community health will not get my vote, ever.
