Compiled by David L. Hermann. RECALL Continued from Bl Sherman said the response addresses what he said was the real reason for the recall. "I feel they are after personnel because they are making innuendo about personnel and I am not going to air personnel issues out in front of the public," he said. Councilman Gary Bos worth filed his own response listing his accomplishments in office.

Recall backers now.have until Nov. 7 to file the petition with the city clerk, who must approve the language before allowing it to be circulated. Unlike the initial petition, which only required the signatures of residents who expressed their intent to recall the council, this petition to force a recall election must be signed by 1,500 registered voters. The group will have 90 days to gather the signatures. Mayor Jerry Pisha, Vice Mayor Doug Sherman and Councilwoman Kathy Ann Smith jointly signed a statement.

"The notice consists of nothing more than a list of unfounded statements, innuendo and personal attacks which have never been substantiated," they said. "Public discussion of such matters is not as simple and harmless as the petitioners have asserted." Miracle said the response did not address any of the petitioners' concerns. "It's a foolish response," she said. "I was speechless when I go it. It proves we are doing the right thing."

The squadron has the use of seven additional planes that belong to the members.

In more than three decades of flying, the members have not been cited for any violations by the Federal Aviation Administration or had any accidents.
