DESCRIPTION:Community march planned to protest Home Depot\nWednesday, June 14, 2006\nBy 
 Carol Harper, The Ledger Dispatch\n\nDowntown Historic Jackson is the 
 planned pathway for a march slated this Saturday in protest of the proposed 
 Home Depot project currently in escrow.\n\n"Stop Home Depot/Big Boxes" is 
 the theme of the protest sponsored by the Committee to Preserve Historic 
 Jackson that will begin in Detert Park at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 17. The 
 public is invited to attend.\n\nThe march will first assemble at Detert 
 Park and open with a few speakers who will make a case for not destroying 
 the historic and scenic region of Jackson with large retail stores. The 
 march will then proceed from the park, go through Jackson's historic 
 downtown business district on Main Street and end at the steps of the 
 National Hotel, where there will be another speaker.\n\nParticipants are 
 invited to make or carry signs. Participants and anyone from the audience 
 are also invited to speak.\n\n"This is our moment in time to make a 
 difference regarding how our community will look in the future," CPHJ 
 Chairman Bob Devlin said. "Once it's gone, it's gone forever."\n\n"The 
 protest is to let the Jackson officials know that the proposed location is 
 unacceptable," said Amador Citizens for Smart Growth chairwoman Kathy 
 Allen. "It is also a rallying cry to let other Jackson city residents know 
 about the proposed project because many are still not aware."\n\nLocal 
 musician Geff Crawford is composing a song for the event and will sing it 
 at the National Hotel at the completion of the march. "He is 
 extraordinarily clever with his songs so it should be a blast," Devlin 
 said.\n\nThe CPHJ is a subcommittee of the ACSG, which recently submitted a 
 petition against the proposed Home Depot project and big box development to 
 the Jackson City Council on May 18.\n\n"The petition is still going around 
 and people are still signing it," said Allen. "People are still just now 
 finding out about the (Home Depot) proposal. We'll take petition signatures 
 all the way up to when the city council makes a final vote."\n\nFor more 
 information about Saturday's CPHJ's march, contact Bob Devlin at
