ALSO: Notorious developer John Longo responds to Dec. column...using a phony name! So, in addition to reneging on a pledge to the Town of Georgetown, the guy is also a coward! Guess the Planning Board has their answer to what kind of "man" he truly is! A true hoot to read. Yes, fact is stranger than fiction!!!
Want to join the "Georgetown Whine Line?" or the "Political talk line?" or the "Computer Repair line?" or the "Flowers and Veggies line?" Well, send us your request. The list, originally started and owned by Rich Coco is still runs threads of Georgetown interest, and have spawned many would-be other google groups in town (liz). FriendsofLonnie_ @gogglegroups.com originally started out as a collection of supporters of Lonnie Brennan's Selectman election campaign. It has evolved [devolved] into a general free-for-all about all things Georgetown, and "list" contains many non-friends. It's quite the howl, and it's quite a community of sharing (and yes, opinion and gossip). Venture forth if you are interested or brave. click here to send us an e-mail to get on the list
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have been forced to close Modern Defense in Georgetown effective Sunday, August 1st.
4 weeks ago, Landlords Roland & Debbie Gatchell had assured us that we would be able to stay in our current location for as long as necessary until we found a place to re-locate our school. We continued our business based on their word.
Last Thursday, without warning or provocation, a constable came in to Modern Defense and served us with eviction papers effective August 1st. We scramble to hired an attorney to represent us figuring that it could not be legal to evict us with only 9 days notice. We found out that we had no recourse and pleaded with the Gatchell's to give us a 2-month lease extension and even offered several hundred dollars more to secure the deal. We explained to them that we did not want to leave our young students without a school.
In spite of all our efforts, our attorney was only able to negotiate a lease until September 6th. We signed the paperwork and sent it back immediately. However, the Gatchell's waited until today, Friday July 30, 2010 to inform us that they had changed their mind yet again and that they want us out by tomorrow. This is the most outrageous abuse of power I have ever experienced in 41 years on this planet. Unfortunately because of their lack of common humanity, we are now forced to close the doors and only give you, our students and friend's only 1-day notice.
Please accept our deepest and sincerest apologies. We are very sad that it has come to this.
We will continue to pursue the location in Groveland and in the meantime we would like to extend an invitation to all active students of Modern Defense to continue training at Defensive Edge in Wakefield. Sensei's Larry, Rick, Bill, Manny, and Joe will be teaching there.
To show our appreciation for all of your support, we would like to offer all active students 2 free months of training in our Wakefield school to see if you can get accustomed to the new location. We would love to continue to help you grow in the arts.
Please note that all automatic billing will cease effective immediately. We will be open for classes as usual tomorrow. Please come by and see Sensei Larry to say goodbye.
