Dear Editor,

Leaving in Hartselle is a continual learning experience. First I had to learn fuzzy math. Then I had to learn about Hartselle fuzzy law enforcement and then about Hartselle fuzzy ordinance.

Recently I visited www.Hartselle.org and learned about fuzzy demographics. Reading what the City of Hartselle wants to tell the world what Hartselle has to offer gave me a different view of Hartselle.

Under schools, Hartselle City Schools has a vocational tech school with one campus, but it has no teachers or students. Why do we have a school with no teachers or students? Maybe it is to get funding from local, state and federal agencies.

Under utilities, I learned that Hartselle Utilities has an electrical storage capacity of 3.35 million gallons and a peak consumption of 2.5 million gallons. I ask a representative of Hartselle Utilities about these capabilities. Hartselle Utilities did not know anything about the capabilities mentioned.

Under labor statistics, Hartselle has a civilian labor force of 58,000. A remarkable feat when the city stated that the population of Hartselle is just over 14,000.

Under recreation, I learned a few things. The first thing I learned is that Hartselle has a golf course and coliseums. (The spelling for coliseums comes from Hartselle’s website). I talked to a representative of parks and recreation about these facilities. I learned that there was a resemblance of a golf course at Sparkman Park and that this representative did not have any idea where the coliseums were.

It is nice to know that Hartselle’s leaders are telling the world that Hartselle offers all kinds of service without telling it’s department heads that we have the facilities and capabilities.

Maybe we need to change the city’s motto from “The City of Southern Hospitality” to “The Fuzziest City in the World.”
