We don't need him quickly rolling over to support the dark side, which I would expect him to do. Mr.Barge probably won't get it either because of his leanings the other direction. I doubt that Mr.Hoffman is that interest, but why would he apply?

Maybe the other fellow is worth a look--remember it will take 4 votes to get the job, so someone is going to have to jump ship. Actually I prefer the 6-member Council, which requiares a clear 4-2 majority to pass anything. Anyone who watches or attends the sessions of the current goup can detect the obvious-------

these people actually don't like each other. And the Admin and citizens are being held hostage.

"4 seek open 1^st Ward seat” the headline in The Journal sez.

No one will actually get a real look. The so-called "movers-and-shakers" have already decided who they want, since their preferred puppet (the widow of a councilman) delined.

If the truth be known, who actually did “seek” the seat, and who did the local power brokers themselves seek out to “install” into the seat? Who was “sought out” but had the integrity to refuse to take part in this fraud? Will that person (who had the integrity to refuse their pressure to “volunteer”) have enough character to “blow the roof” off this fraud, Mr. SB?

How about it, AJ, Josh and ASJ? They need at least ONE of your votes to pull off this possibly felonious con job. Which one of you will sell out?

So what is your connection to know that these schools are not excepting Middletown students, or are saying they are less qualified as a 4.0? ]]> Fri, 07 May 2010 12:19:06 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2948&PID=18804&title=so-spiderjust-curious#18804 So Spider.....Just Curious.... : I DOUGHT (lol)IT is in Raleigh,... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2948&PID=18802&title=so-spiderjust-curious#18802 Author: acclaro

Acclaro, you're too easy to debate...you shoot holes in your own arguement and make my point!

1.APclasses-do u even know what they are? How much do they cost the district?

2.Twenty yrs. ago u predicted M-town's demise and u want outta here and your rationale for staying is so u're kids could stay in the same place for K-12. Thought they went to private school. So why did you stay?

Let's see 20 yrs. ago and your kids are in college or graduated..let's do the math..thought u took statsIII and calclll...but guess u don't know basic math! And ur thinking of buying another house here.

save yourself. WC or Springboro would love another resident. So what if it takes 10 yrs. to sell the house. Quality of life is more important and u are one unhappy person with a self esteem problem.

3. Fenwick, Miami Valley= higher ACT/SAT scores. Wlhy? Going to school with docs, CEO's kids...hmmmm, so socioeconomics does matter. Glad u saw the light

4. A self-proclaimed expert on the schools, politics, the city...hey, u've got all the answers. M-town needs nothing more than u!

5. Oh, and by the way, my child got accepted at 3 of the schools on ur great school list and in their honors programs,too, along with their top academic scholarship offers!

6. Do u have any idea why the private schools have a higher college acceptance and college graduation rate? And, no it is not what u have stated previously.

7. Rule #1 if ur gonna debate, know ur subject inside out and clearly by reading ur posts u give urself away!

8. Sorry bud, M-town is too full of people like you, the know-it-all types and self-proclaimed experts. Think about putting the 'ol house up for sale. 5 yrs or 10 yrs to sell and take a little loss on it...sure u don't need the proceeds to buy ur next house in your nirvana WC or Springboro. U'll be a lot happier!!!

9. You can't even get the MHS dropout rate correct!

10. Smartman, Bobbie and myself have kids at MHS and know the quality education they receive there, are involved in our kid's education and frequent the school regularly.

And, then there is you...........

Who knows when u've been in MHS, I'm sure it's beneath you,but somehow magically u know exactly what goes on there and what the problems and solutions are....................

Very interesting, very, very interesting................................................................................................................................................................................

Hermes--I had dinner at Dewey's and dessert at Graeter's in West Chester last night.

Place was packed and traffic was at a standstill.

If that is "having it tough", then we are having it "REALLY TOUGH" around here.

I understand your thinking and "feel your pain".

I hope that the annual 3% raise pattern is broken.

If I was wrong on this issue, I will say so, and work harder to make it right somehow.

You didn't see or hear about me out partying and celebrating at any victory party.

Just a short break from "starving the beast" and please don't think that my contradiction doesn't bother me.

I came out of it all thinking that the BOE and new super actually will listen more than the Admin.

Spider - you missed something when you said "come on-the levy passed" this was 2, and I repeat,2 levies bundled into one. I think a lot of people over looked that point. Had it been one levy renewal it probably would not have been a big deal, but 2 in one ?

And Bill I agree with you, I think the pay freeze was a gimick and I think I stated that once. The tactic there would be to agree with it until fall then pass out a really nice raise and a really nice bonus to the new super.

We only need to look at Lakota and see that things are difficult for everyone. Lakota voted it down because they knew they couldn't afford it, and if they can't afford it neither can we. (yes I know the setup there was different than here)

Like a lot of people in the Lakota district said, "these levies have to stop or at least be brought under control".

sj, the house on the corner is pretty nice (Curryer). I know he started around $375 Kk 5 years ago, and is probably around $240KK, but right on WWGC as you know. I like the white one one the left near Pratt's old place. Did the saltbox on DaVinci finally sell (right side? I'm waiting on Dr. Scott's place, with the tennis court built in.

lol acclaro--Marty Stuart should be excellent, though not creating much buzz.

Not my thing, but might go.

Am working with the new man taking over the MU-M series next year.

Same person who runs the enormously popular MU-H series.

First two shows so far will be Doc Watson and Arlo Guthrie.

Hoping to liven it up with a few things from this century to follow:

Blues?

DEVO?

Bela Fleck?

Chris Thile?

What would everyone like?

if I ever move, it would probably be to another spot on my same street.

One place on Shadow Hill that I like(nfs), and two on Curryer.

A friend just bought a fire sale home on Da Vinci.

I wonder if the pay freeze will actually occur since it sounded like a simple verbal agreement. Probably followed by a wink wink and promise to make up for it with a 6% raise in year 2.]]> Thu, 06 May 2010 15:31:29 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2948&PID=18781&title=so-spiderjust-curious#18781
