Could someone please verify if a relative or close friend of a City Council candidate is being groomed for a City job?  I heard this rumor recently and found it disturbing.
 
Go Bucks!

OK- Just reading the agenda items from the 5/19 date -- Specifically the Charter Committee get togethers. Looks like Mr. Nagy and Mr.Nenni had a disagreement on Council members meeting at Frisch's. Nenni asked if he was there and if not, the info. was just hearsay. In the May 4th meeting, Picard said he wanted the statements in the record as the statements were accusations against the city staff.( So what Picard) Mr. Soppanish said to leave the personal things out of the meeting. Wow- sounds like a little trouble a brewin' and some tension among the troops. We have all indication that there are divisions on this committee and it is rather obvious who the club members are, but we won't mention names will we Picard, Nenni and Scorti? How about Scorti making the statement that he trusts Council??? What would possess one to make a gullible statement of denial like that? Is he seeing what we all are seeing or has he been "blinded by the light"? The struggle continues between the people and the oppressors.]]> Thu, 21 May 2009 09:54:36 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=949&PID=6579&title=charter-committee#6579 Charter Committee : So, Feb of 06 is where it all... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=949&PID=4263&title=charter-committee#4263 Author: MadisonMom

The problem Vet is the City Manager thinks Kohler is wonderful and her righthand man.  Personally I think he has control over to much of what goes on in the City and influences things to his liking rather than what is best for the Citizens overall.  I think new blood would do wonders for the City.]]> Tue, 10 Feb 2009 08:25:03 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=949&PID=4252&title=charter-committee#4252 Charter Committee : Vivian- Seems there is a trend... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=949&PID=4251&title=charter-committee#4251 Author: VietVet

Vivian- Seems there is a trend here. This is not the first time that Kohler's name has been mentioned along with money being re-directed. He seems to have his hands in alot of "money taking an altered course" in projects around the city, and, rumor is, the money ends up in his own little projects. For the good of the city, it sounds like Mr. Kohler needs to go away. He seems to be inhibiting progress. How does he do this without Rusty Carolus knowing about it? OR, is the Finance Dept. looking the other way?    If true, perhaps we can put Kohler and Carolus on the same Greyhound bus out of town. Heck, I'd like to fill that bus with some of these clowns down at city hall!    ]]> Tue, 10 Feb 2009 07:17:00 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=949&PID=4251&title=charter-committee#4251 Charter Committee : MadisonMom It is the most historic... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=949&PID=4246&title=charter-committee#4246 Author: Vivian Moon

It is the most historic 11 acres in Middletown and was established May 30, 1827.
The Middletown Cemetery was declared historic in 2005 by the City Council as per Mr. Kohler's request so that CDBG money could be used to restore the vault...however he used all the money downtown and I haven't heard from him since. Donations from the public and grants have supported my efforts at the cemetery for the past 5 years. It's been hundreds of hours of labor with an ax and shovel to get it cleared and cleaned up over the past 5 years.
Last year it took us 2 months to clear the Richmond Street west fence line because the trees and shrubs were grown into and through the fence and had to be hand cut out in order not to damage the chain link fence.
The East fence line is still a total mess.
It's time for the City to do what they promised and start repairing the vault.

I need to make a correction to my above statement.
The Middletown Historical Society did file the 2005 grant for me with the Middletown Community Foundation.
However they did refuse to file any future grants for me in 2007.

First let me state that anytime within the last 60 years if the City had repaired the roof and gutters of the vault we would not be having this conversation...
To restore the stone work requires a specialized skill. Houston Bros in Cincinnati, are the very best at this kind of restoration. They will number the stones as they are removed at each corner and then put it all back together. Then clean all the stone work.
The vault at Miltonville Cemetery is smaller, built later but by the same stone mason.
After I get the stonework completed I will need to replace the slate roof, copper gutters and cupola and then have new steel doors made.
Here is the link to the Miltonville Cemetery photo:

I hope to make a small addition to the great works of Mr. George Crout.
Mr. Crout wanted Roger Miller to take over the Middletown Historical Society...so do I.
