Greg,you keep talking about children while Ericm,SPACE volunteer,admitted that most of the time events are held by not SPACE but outside companies for the purposes of fund raising or such.I asked him to comment- no answer.

About government intervention - are you forgetting that SPACE is the one who invited the government officials already on their side ?
Yes, there is a person in the neighborhood who has been served with a no-trespass order. Everyone else is invited.

Perhaps the supportive emails and web-posts are from part-time residents. I don't think you'd object if someone showed up to express an opinion who's only here one month out of the year. The 'off-island' support that I've seen in emails and web-posts are from people like this.
Hope this helps.
