UPatrick Purser, onguKhomishana weDolobha kanye nomnikazi weShoal Creek Canoe Run, uyakwamukela ukunakwa okutholwe yidolobha kanye nomthelela wako emnothweni wendawo. Usebone ukukhula njalo ebhizinisini lakhe lokuqasha izikebhe kusukela kwaphuma le documentary ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka. “Abantu baqhamuka ezindaweni zonke, ikakhulukazi abahamba ngamabhayisikili. Amaqembu abo athanda ukugibela ezansi lapha emaphandleni abukekayo, ezansi nemigwaqo emazombezombe,” kusho uPatrick. “Ababonakali bekhathazeke kakhulu ngesithunzi sedolobha. Kodwa angikaze ngibone noyedwa wabo ehlala sekuhlwile.”
Izivakashi eziya eShoal Creel Canoe Run ziyakwazi ukuthenga izinto eziyisikhumbuzo eziphonswe ekhaya zohambo lwazo oluya e-Iron City. Izinto, okuhlanganisa izikibha nezitikha ezinkulu, zihlotshiswe ngamafulegi amavukelambuso nezisho zasendaweni ezidumile njengokuthi “Paddle like hell … ngizwa ibhanjo” kanye nokuthi “Siyakwamukela e-Iron City, bukela umhlane wakho.” UPatrick uthi lezi zikhumbuzo bezithengiswa kahle kangangokuthi bekunzima ukuzigcina zikhona. "Besinamahembe e-'Iron City Blues' angamashumi amathathu futhi ayesehambile esikhathini esingangesonto."
IMeya u-Anthony Purser ikholelwa ukuthi lokhu kuwukwehla nje kwebhakede uma kukhulunywa ngamathuba okumaketha kwe-Iron City. “Sizoqhubeka nokwakhela phezu kwegama lethu elibi lesikhathi esidlule futhi siliguqule libe into enhle yesikhathi esizayo,” kusho imeya. Amadola ezivakashi avela kubantu bangaphandle abanelukuluku kakade aseqala ukuba nomthelela emphakathini. “Sisanda kuthenga ama-computer nama-cubicle eCity Hall ukuze asisize singene ekhulwini lama-21,” kusho umphathi-dolobha. “Siphinde sakha Ibhodi Lezokuvakasha elihlanganisa ikhonsathi enkulu ngasemfuleni ezoba sentwasahlobo ezayo.”
Ngekhonsathi ezayo kanye nokwanda okubikezelwe kwezokuvakasha, imeya inomuzwa wokuthi kuphuthuma kakhulu kunangaphambili ukuqasha kabusha umbutho wamaphoyisa. “Abafake izicelo abafanelekile kumele ngabe baphothule ukuqeqeshwa esikhungweni samaphoyisa, ngeke babe necala elibi, futhi kumele bakwazi ukusebenza ngaphansi kwengcindezi enkulu,” kusho uPurser. Abafakizicelo abanentshisekelo kufanele bafake izicelo mathupha eCity Hall, etholakala ezansi nomgwaqo ukusuka endaweni yokufaka amabhokisi.
