Paul Schemel Quotations

Seventy percent of the town has suffered catastrophic damage, but all the structures were impacted one way or another. Our goal is to get building materials to the town so they can begin to rebuild.

I'd love to see the town pull together. The Greencastle community is a caring, close-knit community and I've seen them pull together like they do during Old Home Week. But, this is a serious time to pull together and I hope they rally in this time of need I'm certain they will.

We'd love to have a convoy of trucks. But, we're just asking the community to do whatever they can to help in anyway they can.

There's no commitment at this point by either party, but it's the necessary first big step to identifying that this is the personnel, this is the equipment and a pretty good picture of what it's going to cost to establish a joint police force.

Grand Isle is a town very much like Greencastle. Both have about the same population. Both are hardworking communities with strong values.
