Hi Jame,

thanks very much for writing. I was not familiar with the extensive background to Lyle’s very nice profile of the woman serving coffee in KF. Thank you for making me aware.

As I understand it, you’re upset that more was not done to explain why you stopped serving coffee there, is that correct? Lyle’s story was about the nice deeds of the woman, as she was the focus of the story.

You were not mentioned because the story was not about you, it was about her stepping up to help others in need.

I saw the material on your site about your request to the DA’s office, can you please send us the criminal complaint against you? I’ll be honest, we don’t typically report on trespassing crimes, but if KFPD & the DA’s office got involved over the use of a bench, I’m curious why. I won’t promise we’ll do a story on it, but I will look at it.

Thanks again for writing.

Serving others is not about the person but the people you serve and the report missed the mark.

And the bench bully stuff took my time away where could no longer spend time on Breakfast Friends Vets Park and it takes more than sitting in a park waiting for the donations to come in. It takes work, not just sitting in the park hoping donations will come in.

If you are going to do a story about the homeless, do the story about the homeless, not some lady in a wheel chair sitting in the park not doing the work required to serve and help the homeless.

You are right the story was not about me but it did not have to be mentioned at the top or beginning of the story that I quit either. That brought me into the story without telling the rest of the story, now didn't it?

It could have been told without the part where "I quit" or "They Quit" It could of been told about the people that needed the help and not the person doing it as that part if done correctly people could figure out for themselves that she needed more donations in order to keep it going. No, it was about someone that quit and all about an elderly woman in a wheel chair with a dog on her lap. Where was the rest of the story of what the story should have been about? The Homeless!

Now do a story about the "Homeless" in Vets Park and leave the Coffee Lady and me out of it.

The story was not about me, but I got brought into it with, "They Quit". Now didn't I? People from all over were wondering why the rest of the story was not told. But it was not about me. Yeah, right!

I worked hard getting "Breakfast Friends Vets Park" off the ground and all BS I had to go through to get it started. And for someone to sit in the Park and not do the work required to keep it going and wanting to take credit for something she did not start, but I did. It takes more than sitting a wheel chair with a dog o your lap to help the homeless. And then use the very words I used when I started it. "If it helps one person it is worth it. Who do you think made that statement each time it was done. One guess? But, "they quit".

You should ask to take a look at the flyer Coffee Lady put in a few places on Main Street with hours all over the place to fit her schedule, but in the report the hours from 8:30 AM-9:30 AM were mentioned.

Who do you think came up with those hours? I did through trial and error for the best time of the morning to be serving coffee and donuts to the less fortunate. Those are not her hours, they were mine.

And where on Thursday's had to do it from 9AM-10 AM during the summer hours due to the fact that city of Klamath Falls needed to do maintenance on the Park. And where I had to get the approval of the Health Department to be able to do "Breakfast Friends Vets Park" and passed by using prepackage items.

As the water for the coffee had to be from Klamath Falls City Water and where no cooking was involved that's why everything is prepackage because the Kookie Man on his bicycle, was stopped from doing it when he was making cookies for the homeless in that very park and was stopped because he would not give the ingredients to his cookies.

But to sit in the park and take credit for something that someone else stated and then not tell the rest of the story, but just say, "They quit" and leave it at.

Shameful!

And Sad and pure laziness when doing a news story about the Homeless in Vets Park and they both missed the mark.

And if you want to know what is going on with the Bench Bullies, do your own homework.

Sit in the park & wondering why you are not getting donations.

Donations take WORK, not sitting in a park talking about them...

Anybody can sit in the park handing out coffee & donuts, getting the donations replaced is WORK, not sitting and gossiping.

Carole Mommer....

Pun intended in title. See how many see it?
