DEAR EDITOR:

Aaron Young’s behavior is not that of a park director. He uses Mill Creek Park in a very evil way, to hurt people, yes, just to hurt people by slaughtering baby deer and family. He counts the money of the people who donate and throws it away on attorneys and to take another’s land.

He is an autocratic man with a work assessment from Geauga that is relevant to our situation right now. Geauga Lake Park and everything it stated about Young are happening to us right now.

He is supposed to be directing “our” park, getting our opinions and pleasing us all. Instead, he is pleasing himself, doing only what he wants to do, trying to turn our park into “his” business. He thinks he owns it, and that is a huge problem. His arrogance, temper and unreasonable stance for “I Want” is unbearable to those who know what is happening. This is not a professional man, this is a 5-year-old in a man’s body. He goes through life with, “I want this or else, I will get even.” He was never voted in by the people, but put in by a friend.

Not too long ago he was named in a $2.2 million lawsuit against him for “retaliation” against two individuals who worked in the park. They became his victims because they were critical of him for the decisions he made. They won the lawsuit and Aaron must pay $2.2 million for his “retaliation.” He is retaliating against the Save the Deer group by collecting baby deer and their mothers, putting them back into the park onto the golf course and slaughtering them to pieces with blood all over. The mutilation is unspeakable.

This is “retaliation” that we dare stand up to him, that we dare secure attorneys, that we dare present a petition, that we dare tell our stories, that we dare cry, that we dare love our Mill Creek Park. How dare we speak up against Aaron Young. He is showing us by killing, so cruelly, the deer. He was even at the golf course on one of the slaughters to watch the babies and nursing mothers screaming and hurting and mutilated until they finally died. What a torturous death.

We have asked nicely and pleaded nicely, some of the elderly cried and pleaded to this cold and feelingless subhuman. It’s impossible to be nice to this arrogant person who thinks he’s so great. He has associates who have a blog and internet site that gather people to fill out polls, make calls or whatever vice to pretend they are on Young’s side. How is that fair to the truth? I realized as well that ODNR is in cahoots with Young.

I don’t know how long this will take, but there are other means and measures to attempt. He has now taken our three-minute right to speak. We are to call with questions, so they can be ignored.

A person who grew up in the Mahoning Valley with Mill Creek Park a good part of their life is needed. Someone who loved it for its nature, beauty, joy and memories. Someone who knows about Volney Rogers.

Please, get someone who cares, someone like Mr. Whitehouse was. This reminds me of just a few weeks ago, how they treated Mrs. Whitehouse when she wanted to pour her heart out. It was so shameful, I cried.

This is the second attempt with petitions to get rid of him. Two different groups of citizens. What does it take? Seriously, what does it take to unclog the drain?
