At board meetings, Plemmons frequently sifts
through a stack of papers and constantly jots down
notes. Making decisions seems to come a little harder
for her than it does for others.
But her decisions seem to be the result of insight into
things fellow board members might not be exposed

houses. The blacks and whites get along well

Since Reynolds Park Road has a blend of youth,
young adults and a few retirees, some say the area is
ideal for the family-oriented.
"This is a growing neighborhood," says Thatch,
an employee of the city/county pubic school system
and the father of three. "There are a lot of families
out here with young children, and that is especially
important to me."
"This is a nice place to raise a family," says
Celestine Morris, the mother of four and a five-year
resident of Reynolds Park Road. "The way the
families are growing out here, we may need a larger
recreation facility in the near future."
The Reynolds Park Recreation Center has a
numberof programs for residents, including swimming
in the summer, basketball, dance classes, tennis
and the popular boxing program.
The Reynolds Park Golf Course, located across
the street from the recreation center, attracts both
residents of the area and golfers from other parts of
the city.

"My father was a military man and I was born in
New Mexico and went to schools in Hawaii that
weren't segregated," she says. "And 1 tend to view
things differently than people who grew up in a
segregated society. 1 view things in a more positive
way, and somebody else may not see that."

Politically, the Reynolds Park Road area is one of
the more active, says Alderman Larry Womble.
"The people in that neighborhood are very in
telligent, very astute and very aware politically," says
Womble. "Usually at precinct meetings, 10 is a good
number. But often, we have as many as 50 from that
neighborhood who come out."
Thatch, the neighborhood precinct chairman,
agrees with Womble.
"For the most part, we get out to the polls and
vote," says Thatch, who is serving his first term.
"The people are politically active and concerned
about issues, particularly education and the things
that affect the community."
As in any commmunity, however, there are always
areas that need improvement. ,
"What bothers me most is the streets," says Mrs.
Morris. "Reynolds Park Road needs to be widened."
"I would like to see a nice restaurant or cafeteria
out here," says Mrs. Weir. "If we want a good meal,
we have to go all the way across town."
"Some of the roads out here need to be
resurfaced," says Tucker.
And, says Thatch, "I would like to see the people a
little more active politically."

their homes. Those inside CD areas can recieve
grants or loans to finance painting their homes.
Home owners with a certain income level can also
qualify for CD home improvement loans, which
would be repaid over a period of 15 years at low interest
costs. "We want to offer something and have it
so people can pay back something but keep it affordable,"
said Don Dwigging, city representative.
And the plan also includes grants for elderly
residents and low-income residents who can't afford
to repay a loan.
"1 want you all to sign up tonight. And if you
don't sign up tonight, 1 want you to go home and talk
to your wife or husband and sign up tomorrow for
one of these programs," Southeast Ward Alderman
Larry Womble urged Easton residents at a recent
community meeting to discuss the CD program.
After Dwiggins explained the benefits of the housing
renovation programs, Womble cautioned Easton
residents who missed the boat when community
development funds were doled out previously,
"We'd better get it while the getting's good/' he
said.
"If we had been on top of it when community
development first came out, we wouldn't be here
tonight."
Ann Hanes and her husband Andrew said they initially
came to the meeting just to support the programs.^VLdon*!know_
Hanes said. "I 'm surprised about the loans. But 1
came to support anything to help the community."
A few other residents, who questioned why the city
is giving them money to repair their homes, were
somewhat skeptical. "I don't know," or "I'll have to
look into it," some remarked.
