[QUOTE=janbergeron;593980]I thought I'd made myself clear, but I will say it again. I am not trying to start rumors, but find valid information to squelch them. I've tried to find some support to tell this person it's baloney, but I haven't found it yet. Criticizing my legitimate request doesn't help.
For what it's worth, I run an email list for my village, and have run it for eight years. I don't abide rumors, and I try to obtain valid information before I tell people that they are just rumors. The person who sent me this is quite reliable, and, in fact, is the type of person who gripes when others send out rumors, so she is just trying to get some facts.
Why the "business man" would start something like this is beyond me. All I want to do is put an end to it, true or not. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the ban on support for parades also sounded ridiculous, but as it turned out, there was some truth to it.
And to answer the other question, yes, I am Dr Jan Bergeron, a retired veterinarian who has lived in The Villages for nine years (come next month). I am on the Advisory Board of the Mac Users Group. And I do not like rumors, hoaxes, urban legends, chain letters, and other related nonsense.
Note to the owners of this forum: I think it is a great place to share information, but I would recommend special forum for Village Rumors, where people could ask legitimate questions about rumors. I certainly get enough of these and spend a lot of time researching them. I did research this one but could not find any information, which is why I posted the question here. I did not expect to be criticized for asking the question.

Read this real slow............................
"This morning while shopping, a business man mentioned that he attended a meeting this morning at Lake Sumter. He told me The Villages will no longer have entertainment at the town squares….starting in Jan. He also mentioned that an estate sale would require a $ 50 permit and 2 “security” type people must be present. Yard sales would no longer be allowed.
