HI 
Check out _http://realskate.com/news.htm_ (http://realskate.com/news.htm) 
for more information. Clarkie is having a blast exposing the underbelly of  
skateboarding. Always on target, whether you agree or not.

"I don't like skateboarders, and I don't like skateboard  parks," said 
[Capitola] Councilman Kirby Nicol before he proposed scrapping the entire idea.  
Wow! I woke up this morning with an e-mail from Judi  about this article in 
the _Sentinel_ 
(http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/archive/2007/May/01/local/stories/06local.htm) . I am in shock!  Maybe we should e-mail the _Capitola City 
Council_ (http://www.ci.capitola.ca.us/capcity.nsf/CtyCnclIntro.html)  and  
show them how nice and intelligent we are. Judging from _Kirby's_ 
(mailto:kirby at wharftowharf.com)   e-mail domain "Wharf to Wharf" he at least likes athletes 
and races, runners  that is. That event attracts tons of traffic, noise and 
litter - so I am  confused. But maybe there's hope for him yet to change his mind 
that people are  people no matter what their sport of choice is. If you write 
please cc the mayor  and cc me also. I am shaking, I can't stop shaking! WOW!
 
Thank you for  contacting
