The post- ings quote Scripture and other Christian sources, ex- tolling the virtues of being grate- ful and compassionate and putting others first. Busch considers them reminders to himself as much as to his em- ployees and patrons. a tough standard to live up said Busch, 56, who plans to expand his min- istry into Mansfield next year with a $7 million water park on 14 acres next to the Big League Dreams sports com- plex under construction east of Texas 360 at South Heri- tage Parkway.

Talks have centered on fi- nancial issues such as admis- sion fees, revenue sharing and legal liabilities. The pros- pect of a city facility sporting religious themes featuring the VeggieTales characters, which relay sto- ries reflecting Christian val- ues has not been raised publicly as an issue in Mans- field. In Gilbert, where Hawaiian Falls considered building a water park earlier this year, opponents raised the religion issue along with concerns that the proposed site was too close to their neighborhood. consider myself a Chris- tian said Sandra Avery, a Gilbert resident and opposition organizer.
But she said the park would have been property, and we feel that the religious aspect should be Hawaiian Falls scrapped the park plans there because appeasing city officials and neighbors would require too many modifications, Busch said. At a recent meeting, Mans- field Councilman Greg Kuna- sek asked whether the Christian emphasis violated church-state separation re- quirements. But a city attor- ney said there would be no conflict because the city would be leasing the facility to Hawaiian Falls, much like a school district leases its cafe- teria to a church for Sunday services. Kunasek said the Christian concept fit in with my beliefs, which presents a good question for me: If they were Islamic, would I be as comfortable, or would I be raising more of a ruckus? That is a very fair question and something I should think Kunasek said he suggested that Hawaiian Falls use the in- spirational quotes on signs but leave off the scriptural ci- tation. it would modern- ize the he said.

It reduces land and construction costs and ultimately admission costs, he said.
