Editor: Snake Plissken’s proposed new vision for Clearview as an exclusive anti-social behaviour zone has clearly inspired Council. Like many ideas that are before their time, this may be ridiculed by some. But a good offence is the best defence. So having passed their by- law, Council should move forward immediately with a marketing campaign. This of course should have a slogan, or tag-line, and a memorable jingle. And given Council’s commitment to public engagement, holding a competition would be a great way to move forward. In the interest of getting this going, I am offering some ideas to prime the pump: For slogans, and in keeping with Mr. Plissken’s musical theme: Clearview – Beyond Thunderdome Clearview – Just Never Sleeps Clearview – Where You Too Can Rattle And Hum And for Clearview’s New Township Song, Home on the Range is an obvious tune to build on for the new Vision. So I propose the following new lyrics:
