It is good to see the smiling faces of Cape residents.

But behind those smiles persists the fear of a real and present danger.

Some Cape residents - a small minority - want to turn the community into something completely different. What they want will result in a "dead zone" for all forms of civic, recreational, and traditional economic activity.

Then it will be necessary to plan the first annual "Escape from the Cape" event.

Stay focused, there were two groups noticeably absent from 'Escape To Cape Vincent', but who are signed-on to any 'Escape from Cape Vincent' event, British Petroleum Alternative Energy and Voters for Wind.

Escape was a small-town, small business event, BP would have been out of place, out of their element. That alone says a lot.

WOW! why do you folks have to turn everything into wind .This was about buisnesses wanting to let people know they are here.Stay Focused why do you and anon 9:08 want to stir things.Can't you just let Cape Vincent people enjoy a day.People like you are destroying any hope of people wanting to come to Cape for a day or move here.Why would anyone want to when all they hear is negative things.Don't blame this on pro wind,you two are the ones that took what,Shelly and Michelle were trying to do for Cape and made it about wind. As my grandpappy use to say if you have nothing good to say,then keep your mouths shut.
It also was to benefit pre-school and library. Very Good Causes.

1:19,

Nobody will be happier or more upbeat than I about Cape Vincent when the day comes that the Big Wind threat retreats from the town for good.

I'm sure you join me in celebrating on that day - or will you?
