Should the $2,500 campaign contribution from TREPAC to Tom Halepaska have been included in this story? Considering recent events, it seems so.
www.victoriaadvocate.com/news/2010/no...November 18, 2010 at 10:56 a.m.
BSspotter: A common oversight, and no harm intended or done. Best Regards.May 10, 2010 at 2:26 p.m.
Robert, my apologies. I saw the same date, amount, address & name, but I overlooked the "Jr".May 10, 2010 at 2:04 p.m.
BSspotter: Many thanks. In order to clarify, I contributed $1K to Councilman Halepaska's campaign. My Father on his own accord contributed the same amount.May 10, 2010 at 1:52 p.m.
Per Mr. Hewitt's request, I withdraw my comments regarding Mr. Halepaska's donors. I have no verifiable evidence of wrongdoing by any of those donors or undue benefits received as a result of their past political donations. I view their donations (including Mr. Hewitt's $2,000 donation) strictly as a public endorsement of Mr. Halepaska's philosophies. These names were extracted from public documents simply to apply the same innuendo used by the Advocate. Robert Hewitt, Jr has no more influence on Tom Halepaska than James Wayne has on Jeff Williams.
However, my position on the Advocate's selective reporting of large donations has not changed. The conspicuous omission from their pre-primary article of two $5,000 donations to another candidate isn't consistent with this election-changing article, which very likely swung 60 critical votes from Williams to Halepaska. This only makes it that much more important to balance their reporting with my own.May 10, 2010 at 10:52 a.m.
i'd really like to know what tax rates wayne is paying compared to other properties around himMay 9, 2010 at 7:36 a.m.
To BSspotter. Aside for a campaign contribution to Councilman Halepaska, which the last time I checked was my constitutionally protected right, I can assure you that no favors, promises, Board positions, etc. have now or ever either been promised or changed hands. Neither is there any expectation of favor, and were even the whiff of such a thing came up, I most assuredly would turn it down flat. So, with your post of May 6, 2010 at 10:07 a.m in mind, specifically your allegation of "6) Robert Hewitt, Jr when ____________", I most humbly ask for a retraction. My sympathies that the election results were not to your satisfaction.May 9, 2010 at 2:10 a.m.
5K is buying an election in Victoria?!? Gee, maybe I should move back.....
Armstrong is an idiot.....go, as the ViCad always adresses him as, mentally disabled guy!!!!! Maybe I'll send Mr Holy a check.May 8, 2010 at 1:34 a.m.
Halepaska said: "... Mr. Williams, I guess, is representing a special interest that might not be in the best interest of the rest of the citizens."
For what it's worth, Mr. Williams has represented my interests every time he's stepped foot in the council chambers. I think he'll continue to do that, even if it conflicts with Mr. Wayne's wishes.May 7, 2010 at 10:28 a.m.
Lamppost: "Ha! Like that motion that Mr. Hagan made last year to cut the City's Gas budget because everyone knows that gas would not go back up again."
Good observation, but not exactly over-budgeting -- maybe under-budgeting. But hey, you're trying. Watch out, though, the Cynicism Police (holein1) are on patrol. And I'm not sure why you think it's funny ("Ha!").
Lamppost: "Oh! You mean the perfectly legal actions by the City Manager that saved the City millions?"
No, I'm referring to the action he took against the will of the council. I believe Truman was very vocal about this.
Lamppost: "Oh! You mean the same VEDC that was recognized as a premier economic development organization by the Texas Economic Development Council."
Sure, but does that make it "essential", which was the context of that answer? I saw that they recently put a "Tumbleweed Crossing" sign up on Lone Tree. What's that about anyway?
Lamppost: "What a JOKE!"
Thanks, I love entertaining insiders.May 6, 2010 at 9:34 p.m.
Off the top of my head (city/county)....
1) What functions of our Local government are run below board?
- Sale of Hospital Drive behind closed doors without a public vote
- City Managers dubious use of funds to extend land purchase contract
- Focusing on tax rate instead of budget dollars
2) What functions of our Local government are run [outside] its essential scope?
- Citizens Healthplex
- "Boots" Campaign
3) What functions of our Local government are run without reason?
- Pending Airline extension w/o UHV commitment
- Sewer plant fiasco, including land purchase
- CAD Board nominations
- Over-budgeting with foreseeable sales tax shortfall
4) What functions of our Local government are not run out in the open?
- See #1
5) What functions of our Local government are over budget?May 6, 2010 at 8 p.m.
- This was meant to make the point that budgets should stay relatively flat. 6% - 10% annual increases are unacceptable and compound into huge increases in just a few years.
The criminal history dirt I mean, not a political contribution?May 6, 2010 at 7:24 p.m.
Hey Lamppost,
Since you did such a good job ferreting out Matt Ockers criminal history, where is the the dirt on Jeff Williams?May 6, 2010 at 7:22 p.m.
vox said, "Is a hike and bike trail more likely to attract business, or would it have been better to not spend that money and lower business tax?"
Not the sole reason, but considering that companies look for what communities can offer their workforce I would say it has a bearing. What was the total cost of the hike & bike trail?
vox said, "Is $750,000 on a marketing campaign to promote the newly created 'boot capital of texas' more likely to attract business than using than money to promote what already exists?"
I may be wrong, but isn't that money being used to promote Victoria, not just one event that hasn't even happened yet?
I think the lesson to be learned out of all of this is that not doing something when it should have been done will ultimately cost way more down the road. Had we been spending the money to promote Victoria in the first place we wouldn't have to play catch up with a $750,000 campaign. Had we not stopped the development of greenbelts and other public use areas then a hike and bike trail wouldn't be such a "useless" project.May 6, 2010 at 6:09 p.m.
Of course it costs money for infrastructure and essential services, the problem is that is not what are city is spending our money on.
Is a hike and bike trail more likely to attract business, or would it have been better to not spend that money and lower business tax?
Is $750,000 on a marketing campaign to promote the newly created 'boot capital of texas' more likely to attract business than using than money to promote what already exists?
Are millions of dollars to expand Airline (which I agree hasn't happened yet, but the fact that it is even being considered should cause alarm) to no where a better way to attract business than lowering business taxes?
Why is this so difficult for some to understand? This is exactly the reason why I'm voting for Mr. Williams--he's for spending our money on ESSENTIAL SERVICES and making it easier for businesses to want to come and stay here. All these pet projects do nothing to attract business.May 6, 2010 at 5:35 p.m.
i'm sorry, but lower taxes is not a plan. i hate paying taxes as much as the next guy, but i also know that it costs money to have the kind of services, infrastructure, etc needed to attract business.
and the source for startek's reason for leaving is?May 6, 2010 at 5:26 p.m.
holein1, that's easy...lower taxes!!!
You go shopping when there's a sale, or whoever has the best price. Business moves in when the taxes are low.
Sure we offer incentives, but it's akin to offering a credit card with no interest for a few months, then having a crazy interest rate when the promotion expires.
Businesses take our incentives, stay til they run out, then leave. See startek.May 6, 2010 at 5:16 p.m.
ok BS, what is your suggestion on attracting new business and expansion?May 6, 2010 at 5 p.m.
"Tommy boy, Tommy boy, you crack me up, really!"
But his Buffalo Chips are scrumptious.May 6, 2010 at 4:08 p.m.
holein1 said: "have you become so cynical and jaded that you have to try and spot BS in everything?"
No, I'm skeptical of the BS that's in plain sight, and I call it when I see it. (Perhaps I should just shut up and move to Telferner, huh.) I'm encouraged by individual citizens who're taking a stand against our current body of government that's bent on defying economic law by "attracting" business & growth with high taxes. I want a natural & sustainable economy that doesn't require massive debt. Something's gotta give.
holein1 said: "I forgot what it is that you actually like about our community."
Really? I'm not the one on a mission to turn it into something it's not. I know it makes it easier for you to peg people like me as anti-growth, but that's just not the case. I want smart, responsible growth, and I want Victorians to come out of it without being saddled with massive debt and property tax increases.
Victoria's location makes it a potential funnel for commerce, but businesses are smart enough to know there's a turd in the center of the Tootsie Pop we're dangling in front of them. We have to establish long-term, business-friendly economic conditions instead of gambling on short-term incentives. That has to start with our attitude on spending. Local government can't be everything to everybody. They need to be lean and mean essential services machines.May 6, 2010 at 4:06 p.m.
BSspotter, have you become so cynical and jaded that you have to try and spot BS in everything? I forgot what it is that you actually like about our community.May 6, 2010 at 3:32 p.m.
No comment, lol!
Tommy boy, Tommy boy, you crack me up, really!May 6, 2010 at 3:27 p.m.
What's "doom and gloom" about demanding that all functions of government be run above board, within its essential scope, within reason, out in the open, and under budget? That's all I'm asking for. But for some reason, folks who demand accountable government are cast as "do nothings". It's possible to have progress without suckling from the so-called progressive, borrow-n-spend, micro-Keynesian teat. We're in the midst of the eternal struggle between the unintended consequences of ever-deceptive central economic planning schemes and the self-deterministic tenets of free-market capitalism. The lines are being drawn, and I think a growing number of Victorians are weary of the politically expedient actions of our central planners and the requisite looters.May 6, 2010 at 3:22 p.m.
WOW talk about being out in left field! The story was about Slick Willie and his lap dogs running scared. Will Armstrong should be ashamed of him self but we all know thats the kind of person he is.
A vote for Armstrong or Halepaska is a vote to spend money on what the rich people in Victoria want.
A vote for Jeff Williams is a vote for whats best for all that live in Victoria!May 6, 2010 at 2:19 p.m.
As for the Roth, Krueger thing lets look at it this way. Krueger built Fire Station 4. Its falling apart. They still have not fixed all thats wrong with it. The city knew this and still gave the contract to build the next station to Kruger. If anyone is in someones pocket its the MAYOR!!!!!!
And maybe a department head!
The Ben Jordan project had the purpose of supplying a much-needed route east to the State-planned/-funded Loop 463, otherwise known as 463 Street. It's completely disingenuous to say that anyone opposed to the Airline extension is opposed to ALL road construction. Roads are an essential service. In fact, I'm disappointed that the materials for the Red River make-over were downgraded. BUT, it's absolutely silly to fund a road into a pasture if there's no commitment from UHV to build out there. That road can be built more quickly than a campus, so it only makes sense to not break ground until there's a tangible reason.
Ah, the old "if you don't like it, why don't you move" shtick. Well, how about if you want to run up debt you'll never be able to repay, move to California? They progressed themselves into regression. I want growth and an improved quality of life, but only at a rate the taxpayers and market can bear -- not at self-defeating rates determined by the whims of central planners.
Not everyone views the world from a golf course.May 6, 2010 at 1:27 p.m.
perhaps a better road expansion example would be Ben Jordan. it was a road to nowhere and now there are 3 new neighborhoods with homes selling in excess of $170,000 adding to the tax base. i imagine that there will be more to come in the next 10 years, perhaps some apartment complexes to serve the expanding college student body.
i seem to remember that years ago there was a lot of hulabaloo about the building of Loop 463. Yep, that sure seems like a waste of tax payer dollars now, doesn't it?
if you don't want to see your city expand and grow, that fine, just move to telfner, bloomington, dacosta, or any other two-bit used to be town around here. otherwise, get out of the way of progress. what a bunch of cry baby do nothings. i'm glad that none of you are on the city council or county commissioners court, or, God forbid, donate your time on a local board of directors. if you were then Victoria would be a ghost town.May 6, 2010 at 12:58 p.m.
vox, yes it is absurd. The results on the various polls were all over the map in results and vote counts, but I cherry-picked them to the best of my ability. ;)May 6, 2010 at 12:25 p.m.
Lamppost: I wonder if this same debate was had when Navarro was extended way back when? Or maybe Laurent? Or Rio Grande?"
If it was under the same pretenses and economic conditions, I sure hope there was debate. These things need to be put through the public filter. I'm sure those roads had somewhere to go -- like Houston, Bloomington, Hallettsville and beyond -- and a pressing need was demonstrated to improve upon them over time. As it stands, the Airline extension would be a road to nowhere, but that's a dead horse.May 6, 2010 at 12:22 p.m.
I think you guys may have taken a turn for the ridiculous by using Advocate polls in your arguments. I seriously doubt the few hundred voters (at most) that participate are representative of the city.
Oh and Lamppost, the difference between those roads and airline is that they connect to other cities...yes, even way back when. There wasn't an airport in the way to stop expansion of those roads either. I'd like to introduce you to Hwy 59, which takes care of travel in that direction pretty nicely, and it actually goes somewhere.May 6, 2010 at 12:10 p.m.
Or these--
Should the city spend $8 million to extend Airline Road?
Yes 31%
No 68%
How effective will the city's new boot ad campaign be?
Very 5%
Somewhat 23%
Not at all 71%
Do you think the city manager's evaluation should be done in public?
Yes 62%
No 37%
Do you think the city of Victoria needs an aggressive marketing plan?
Yes. 23%
No. 76%
Should the city have offered incentives to Star Tek?May 6, 2010 at 11:48 a.m.
Yes 34%
No 65%
Of course there's a bidding process, but what good is being the potential lowest bidder if the government isn't funding projects? For instance, one could argue that Krueger & Roth donating to the same candidate cancels out the influence, while another could argue that it only doubles the influence to initiate otherwise debatable construction projects, such as the Airline extension. I also see a distinction between making a donation for future benefit at another's expense and making a donation to prevent future unwarranted detriment. Some methods of protecting your interests are more noble than others, but granted, nobility is definitely relative in this case.
I know nothing of the size of James Wayne's sphere of influence, but from what I've seen, he doesn't seem to be looking for handouts. If he wants to charge outrageous rents and craft cumbersome, one-sided lease agreements, and the market will bear it, congratulations to him. High prices & hassles will spawn competition in the long run.
The rebidding fiasco seemed justified from my perspective, and I've received no money from Roth Construction. Sure, it was a hassle, but I appreciated the deliberate & visible way in which it was approached. I've seen Roth's fingerprints on several campaign finance reports, so I can't speculate on who owes what to whom.
I guess it boils down to whose "cohorts" wish to leech off the taxpayer the least, huh.May 6, 2010 at 11:31 a.m.
I think 99% of the population has a grudge against the city...with the way they do business who wouldn't?May 6, 2010 at 11:05 a.m.
Lamppost asks:
"[A]re the people that gave money to Mr. Pozzi involved in law suits against the... County?"
I can't say for sure. I do know that a few of Pozzi's donors are being sued in their capacity as agents of the County hospital, which is just a fun bit of trivia.
From what I know of Williams, he will not feel a sense of beholdenment to Wayne's exclusive interests. I'm sure Wayne knows Williams is not for sale and made the donation merely to support a candidate who has the analytical foresight to avoid potentially litigious situations. Is it at all possible that Wayne understands that Williams is a genuine advocate for the taxpayer and realizes what's good for the taxpayer is also good for him -- such as lower property taxes and unfettered commerce?
Considering Halepaska's philosophies on government, I don't like to see donations from...
1) Texas Association of Realtors when an Airline extension is up for debate
2) Elton Calhoun of Regional Steel when rebar is needed for road construction
3) Don Krueger when ____________
4) John Roberts & James McHaney when VicAd is writing articles like this
5) Ben Heilker of Victoria Air when the City has lots of cubic feet of air to cool
6) Robert Hewitt, Jr when ____________
7) Milton Greeson of Atzenhoffer when the City operates a fleet of cars
8) Bette Jo Buhler when an Airline extension is up for debate
9) John Clegg when ____________
... to name a few. The influence of this cast of characters is likely to be pervasive, to say the least. I'm not suggesting these people lack moral character or intend harm, but I do trust one $5,000 donation from a James Wayne more than a cumulitive total of $5,000 from 20 of these folks.May 6, 2010 at 10:07 a.m.
Your conclusion was a "politial ambush" Perhaps, that opinion may be true, but inconsistancies in reporting don't make your opinion a fact.May 6, 2010 at 12:12 a.m.
Shades, how does presenting ignored donations of similar size and time not support my conclusion that VicAd's reporting is not consistent? Please explain.May 5, 2010 at 11:58 p.m.
Regarding Pozzi's contributions---your data does not support your conclusions---perhaps Mr. Williams would have been best served by turning down that money. That would have gotten my vote.
Thanks for the info. I think I'll vote for Pozzi....in November.May 5, 2010 at 11:38 p.m.
The deficient article in question was published a few days before the Primary Election, making its timing similar to this article. It would have been appropriate to mention that $10,000 came from executives/owners of a single business, don't ya think.
Refresher: www.victoriaadvocate.com/news/2010/fe...
I'll disclose anything you'd like once you disclose all McHaney and Roberts family donations to local candidates & Advocate commingling on influential boards/committees so we can all better understand the Advocate's "role" in local politics. My civically-motivated support of citizen-candidates has no bearing on the validity of the facts I've presented. I'm no more of a threat to your publication or local establishment than the public record. I only seek to spackle the cracks.May 5, 2010 at 11:22 p.m.
BS,May 5, 2010 at 10:55 p.m.
This story is about the city council campaign spending reports. The city election is Saturday.
The story is not about the county elections, which are in November. That's a different story for another time.
To be fair to our readers, your role in the campaign will need to be clear if you're going to continue to campaign on our forum. Please feel free to call the newsroom during regular business hours to discuss.
I find it disturbing that VicAd is running a hit piece on Jeff Williams for receiving a single, presumably-stringless $5,000 donation while failing to mention Don Pozzi's multiple $5,000+ donations in its article dedicated to -- what else -- political contributions. That was a great opportunity to mention the following donations to Pozzi:
2010 Campaign:
$5,000 – 11/10/09 – Heber S. Lacerda – CEO of Regency Nursing & Rehab
$5,000 – 1/12/10 – Jim West – Owner of Jet Maintenance
$5,000 – 2/8/10 – Donald Kivowitz – Founder & Chairman of Regency Nursing & Rehab
[ Lacerda-Kivowitz: www.corporationwiki.com/graphs/roamer... ]
2006 Campaign:
$3,000 – 2/7/06 – Jim West – Owner of Jet Maintenance
$10,000 – 2/16/06 – R.W. Briggs – Briggs Ranches, Fordyce Holdings ($24M+ on CAD books*)
[ *Note: James Wayne has about $20M on CAD books ]
2002 Campaign:
$5,000 – 10/22/01 – Jim West – Owner of Jet Maintenance
$5,000 – 11/29/01 – R.W. Briggs – Briggs Ranches, Fordyce Holdings ($24M+ on CAD books)
There are a dozen or so Victorians in the $2-4k Club over those 3 campaigns.
---May 5, 2010 at 10:49 p.m.
I think it's obvious that VicAd is simply carrying out its protectionist agenda with this snipe disguised as news reporting. Sure, James Wayne is a shrewd, competitive & virtually-unlikeable business man, but he is far from being an insider and is supporting a genuine outsider, which explains the targeting by the insiders' mouthpiece. For shame. I wonder if we should expect more political ambushes from this once-esteemed publication. I wonder.
Not sure where you get your informtion but it is incorrect. I know several city employees. Some in pretty high positions with city. No employee has lost their job. As people are retiring or leaving for other reasons the positions are not being filled at this time. Employees were given up to a 3% raise. Yes I am not happpy with the city manager getting a large raise, either. Nobody is getting theri pay cut.May 5, 2010 at 9 p.m.
Where there is smoke, there is fire. The only way to get a really bad reputation like this, is to be a really bad person.May 5, 2010 at 8:01 p.m.
I agree with rdela5. The City Manager's evaluation should be BEFORE the election. Why after the election? Armstrong, what are you NOW trying to hide, besides the fact that the City Manager was given a 16% raise when other city employees were given none; and, a lot of employees in Victoria are losing their jobs, getting their pay cut back or getting their hours reduced; putting an even greater burden on the rest of the citizens of Victoria. Or is it just the fact that once again you are strong arming members of your own council with your gestapo actions.
I think it is time we change the good ole boy mentality of Mr. Armstrong's yes men and get people in office that care about this city and not their own personal power.May 5, 2010 at 7:40 p.m.
I'm sure if I was the largest individual properity tax payer in the city I would be more than a little "sue happy". Most of you have complained about the VCAD and the tax rate. If you had the means, would you sue?
I don't know James Wayne or Jeff Williams, nor do I know Halepaska or Armstrong. I try not to listen to rumors.
James Wayne is one of the most successful business men in Victoria, fact. Sometimes you have to do things that others might consider cold hearted, mean, ruthless or callous in order to acheive the success you want. Doing what is right and what is easy is not always the same thing. We witnessed it earlier this year with the sewer plant.
Accusing someone of trying to "buy" an election by making a $5,000 donation is not only ridiculous, but as a citizen of Victoria I find it offensive. I should send that clipping in to Leno. 5K is a political buyout!?! What year is this?
I guess the good thing to come out of this article is that the cost of buying the mayor is known.May 5, 2010 at 4:47 p.m.
A lawsuit against the city?
I thought it was against VCAD, and as we all know both the city and county claim that the Appraisal district operates and is independent of the city council and county commissioners court.
At least that is what council members and commissioners have stated if I remember correctly.May 5, 2010 at 4:06 p.m.
I agree that Mr. Williams has stood his ground and spoken his beliefs before council long before Wayne's endorsement\contribution. I believe it is more of an Halepaska v. Wayne history issue. I do know personally what kind of businessman Mr. Wayne is, and it will be hard for most voters to separate the qualities and ideas that Mr. Williams espouses versus his now public association with Victoria's "least-likeable citizen" Mr. Wayne. Overall - I think this is a tough article for the Williams' camp.May 5, 2010 at 12:47 p.m.
Once again the reporter for the Victoria Advocate did not do his research before posting his article.
First of all, it is of public record that Mr. Halepaska filed a lawsuit against James Wayne at which Mr. Halepaska did NOT prevail. Mr. Halepaska forgot to mention how much HE had to pay out for HIS legal fees.
Second, Mr. Halepaska also forgot to mention that he recieved a large contribution of $5,000 from the Victoria Board of Realtors, but he is only reporting $2,500. It appears to me that Mr. Halepaska is not a very honest and reputable man.
Third of all, Mr. Williams has been going up against the City Council and fighting for his rights and the rights of the citizens of Victoria way before Mr. Wayne's contribution.
I have had the previlage of knowing Mr. Williams and feel he is very passionate about what he believes in.
It is of my opinion that Mr. Halepaska is better off behind the counter making cookies. I think it is time for new faces and fresh ideas! Vote for Mr. Williams on Saturday, May 8, 2010.May 5, 2010 at 9:35 a.m.
Dancingmom, good point. Bashing local businesses is not a good way to get re-elected. If this practice becomes consistent, who is going to be bashed next? Lest we forget, whether or not we agree on all of Wayne's actions, he is not only a local businessman, but a local citizen. It is not like Wayne is a criminal or something.
I think this goes much deeper that just a person donating to a candidate. The reaction of Halepaska, as reported, becomes a threat to each citizen of Victoria. Does this mean that if I donate to Williams or Nickerson, I am going to be brought into this whole mudslinging?May 5, 2010 at 9:16 a.m.
Before you start juding James Wayne for having cars towed from a childs funeral you should have all the facts. He did not have the cars towed, he had given the church permission to park in the parking lot for the child had been a guest in his home numerous times. A local towing company took it upon themselves to have cars towed.
Let's get back on the subject of the articel--the election. Who cares if Mr. Wayne made a contribution to a candidate. Is Halepaska that scared that he is going to loose that he has to bash a local businessman.May 5, 2010 at 8:56 a.m.
My comments have nothing to do with Wayne or Williams, but rather this loose lipped, ridiculous excuse for a Mayor. What in the world is the nutt talking about? He is such a hipocrit! His ridiculous statements in this article make me want to puke! "A little 'ol city council election"? WHAT?
If that old buzzard was given 5K then he would be clicking his heels and jumping for joy. Someone please keep this guy out of the papers. His nonsense is down right laughable. I use to read this rag for comedic value, but now I just want to cry when I hear the "Face of City Government" making statements such as the ones printed in this here fish wrappin's.
Armstrong you cease to amaze me. Someone please muzzle this guys soup sucker.May 5, 2010 at 8:33 a.m.
Four points:
1) If you think VCAD is competent and not corrupt to the core, you don't own anything of value in the county or you're dumb enough to just pay what ever they ask every year without looking at your statements.
2)If you think someone who earns money by renting property doesn't work for the money, you (again) obviously own nothing of value to the community.
3)If you've ever wondered why other cities the size of Victoria and smaller have more businesses and more national brand businesses than Victoria (eg Bay City) the answer is the stupidity and corruption in the existing city government.
No one with a brain would invest in a city with this kind of council and law enforcement - increasing gang activity and tagging with close to zero law enforcement response and a council hell bent on blowing hundreds of thousands of dollars on unneeded sidewalks in a downtown where no one ever goes.
4) If you think getting monetary support from a large businessman disqualifies a candidate from public office then why did you vote for Obama with his $947,000 from Goldman Sachs?
I'd have likely got through Saturday with out voting but this two-bit Advocate hatchet job and the related comments has got me all fired up to vote and get as many as I can out to vote as well. Personally I'd vote for Wayne in addition to Williams if he were on the ballot.May 5, 2010 at 8:05 a.m.
I have yet for someone to give me a good reason to vote for Halepaska over Williams. These are the only reasons I've been given:
"Halepaska has 6 years experience on the council"
...6 years experience doing what? Agreeing with the mayor on every single issue? No thanks.
"Halepaska is a successful business man"
...well, maybe if he would help run the city like he runs his business we'd be in better shape
and now "James Wayne contributes $5K to Williams"
...whoopty doo. James Wayne may not be a model citizen (hell, he may not even be a model human being), but he is a business man. If Williams can do things to help businesses in this town then it is a benefit for everyone, not just James Wayne.
One Will Armstrong is bad enough, we've had three on the council for a while now.May 5, 2010 at 8:02 a.m.
victoria advocate, it seems like mr wayne's property taxes and property values are the heart of the story here.
why don't you investigate his properties and then compare to other properties around the neighborhood ????
im guessing the results would be very, very, very interesting.
anyone voting for williams is a fool, just take a look at the money behind the candidate.May 5, 2010 at 7:32 a.m.
Ok, so why dosen't the Advocate print Armstrong's top contributors......May 5, 2010 at 7:23 a.m.
Hey, Hey,....I thought everyone knew that "Victoria" has its own Mr. Scrooge" need....I say more.May 5, 2010 at 5:20 a.m.
Mr. Halepaska is a winner in my books
Mr. Wayne is fighting the two biggest problems in Victoria.
#1. A 'spend happy' city government.
#2. A totally out-of-control Central Appraisal District.
And to top it all off .... he is doing it with HIS OWN money.
Wayne has more of HIS OWN money invested in the future of Victoria than anybody (and everybody) on the city council. The council only wants to spend taxpayer money! I wish Wayne sucess in his fight(s) and I believe Victoria will come out ahead if he wins. The town needs more people that are willing to put THEIR money where their mouth is.
All politicians say one thing to get elected and do another thing in office. We already know from 6 years of history that Halepaska is an automatic 'Yes man' vote with Armstrong. I'll vote for Williams and see if he has the backbone to stand up to Armstrong ... and maybe even enough backbone to stand up to Wayne ... if and when the time comes. We certainly do not have anything to lose by trying something different.May 5, 2010 at 5:11 a.m.
Lamp Post why are you afraid of James wayne because you can not get him on your side?? Please Joe, Gabe, and Jeff were there by invite. Did you not go to the city council meeting? We all know who you are Pliscand. At swann crossing it was invite by the land owner and James Wayne was not there.May 5, 2010 at 1:01 a.m.
Mr. Halepaska I would like to know something. You have been asked about the problem the city has keeping Police and Fire Fighters. You say well we gave the a blanket rise. Why dont you tell people that out of the last 5 blanket rises that was given Oct 1 each year 4 time in Jan 1 the insurents went up. Anyone with a family lost most of what they were given!May 4, 2010 at 11:25 p.m.
I think James Wayne is a bad person! On the other hand i have known Jeff Williams for 15 or more years. He is a good person. He looks out for others before himself. He looks for the good in people. You should not jugde him by just one person. Jeff will look out for the city and what we all want and need not what the Will Armstrong wants.May 4, 2010 at 11:16 p.m.
Who the hell Wayne thinks he is? A King maker?May 4, 2010 at 11:04 p.m.
The reputable citizen business man has my vote here.
Judgment matters and Williams needs his head examined.
From what i have seen most of Halepaska campaign contributions came from the very well of in the down town area. Why is this? The same people that wanted all the money wasted on the down town area! Looks to me they are buying the mayors lap dog another term.May 4, 2010 at 11:04 p.m.
Oh look! Someone is challenging one of Wills lap dogs ( Halepaska, Polasek ) and he starts the mud slinging!May 4, 2010 at 10:57 p.m.
How can three men vote the same way on everything?
This is to funny. Wayne contesting the tax amount on his properties. It might be what amount of income the properties bring in for Mr Wayne from what I hear his rental properties have one of the highest prices in Victoria. (with stipulation in some business rentals. This totally convinces me on who to vote for come election time. Vote for someone that worked for his contribution and can be trusted in this delicate position. Nothing that happens in this town surprises me anymore.May 4, 2010 at 10:05 p.m.
I will try to remember that the race is between Mr. Halepaska and Mr. Williams. However, I believe you are known by the company you keep. Mr Halepaska you have our vote.May 4, 2010 at 10:03 p.m.
"While both city council candidates are businessmen, Williams said Wayne supports him because the two share a similar philosophy. Williams said he is pro-business, for lower taxes and minimal government intrusion."
James Wayne and Jeff Williams share similar philosophies. WOW. This is the same James Wayne that towed vehciles from his property while people attended a funeral at a church on Laurent. I guess we can expect the same from Jeff. No scruples, no mercy, no conscience, sue happy, treat people with disrespect. I could go on.May 4, 2010 at 9:28 p.m.
Tom may not be perfect but he is no James Wayne.
Mr. Wayne believes we all deserve the best councilman money can buy.May 4, 2010 at 8:09 p.m.
Was leaning toward Williams. Not any more.May 4, 2010 at 7:41 p.m.

Bells will soon be ringing across the capital city as students prepare for the first day of classes next week.
But 4 new JPS district buildings will not be ready to house students.
School officials say Bates Elementary, along with Cardozo , Kirksey and Peeples Middle Schools, are now set to be opened September 14th.
Until then, students enrolled in those schools will attend classes elsewhere in the district.
According to the Clarion-Ledger, the new projects represent $64 million of the $150 million bond that Jackson voters approved back in November 2006.
Officials say information on what schools students will attend will be mailed to parents.

AudioFile Reviews 2008 December/January 2009
Clements has written yet another book that gives young listeners plenty to think and talk about. When twins Ray and Jay wonder what life is like without a twin, they discover it's not all they expected. Listeners will be able to identify with the both their scheme and its consequences. Keith Nobbs narrates with excellent pacing, cadence, and intonation. As he brings Ray and Jay to life, he gives great energy to the pair, allowing listeners to empathize with the boys' ups and downs. Nobbs captures the attitudes of these sixth-graders and their friends, ensuring that listeners are quickly caught up in their story. The adults' voices are distinct and appropriately supportive as well. J.K.R. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

Career questions about college web development position
Hi, I called my local community college to see if I could apply as a volunteer for their faculty training department.
But something better happened: The staff member told me that they might consider an opening for a part-time paid position.
I'm thrilled but also nervous as well because the job presents a lot of unknowns. The only thing I know is what the department does: providing an online multimedia curriculum to help professors and employees become better at their jobs, web services, itunes U and seminars.
I did not find an online job description and during the interview the director will tell me what my responsibilities are. A good sign is that the staff member I spoke to asked if I was beginner or intermediate and after sending my resume they know that I am just out of college. It seems that they are not really looking for someone with years of experience.
- Have you guys worked for a college as a front-end web developer?
- What was the experience like and what was the learning curve?
- Did they train you?
- Were most of your duties front-end or back-end?
- How can I prepare for the interview?

I think you should go for this job opportunity even if your not that much aware about the entire department work. Most important thing you should concentrate on is to prepare for the interview. Keep in your consideration the company's knowledge,(i.e. about the company, what it is all about? , What kind of a work do they deal in with? etc.).
Wish you luck for your interview..

L to R R to L Alpha
The right end of the three ridiculously popular low 7 routes. These tend to get hammered all day, either as warm-ups for the harder routes or as projects for those getting into the grade. The singular moves are all fairly easy, with so many rests you might confuse your real objective of climbing up with finding the next rest. Probably no harder than the 7a+ routes to the left, and probably no harder than 6c when taking advantage of the rests.

A three-year guaranteed contract worth a million and a half? For a position coach? No way McGarity could have allowed that to be matched. And Garner would have been crazy to turn it down.

Does Your Company Have The Emotional Intelligence To Be A Leader?
The key word here is "achieve", because the company can be motivated toward a lot of other things, both positive and negative, but a single focus on achievement is what contributes to emotional intelligence.

MG42 shooting quick burst
Another perspective of the 8mm MG42 German. As you can see, this gun is mounted on a post war MG3 tripod. We are still restoring the original WWII Lafette tripod and will post videos of it in the future. The finish on this particular MG42 still retains the clear phosphate coating that was used just before the end of the war. It looks to be painted silver but it is not. Germany was in such a hurry to field every MG42 they built they would often skip the bluing process. If you also note, the gun generates a high degree of heat and the front booster cone can be seen smoking alot after firing. It was almost impossible to change the barrel with a fresh one without the aid of an asbestos mitten or heavy cloth rag. Enjoy!

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @wwltvsports
METAIRIE, La. — Drew Brees is a half-glass full kind of guy.
So when asked Tuesday how he felt with his preseason finished – Brees won't play Thursday night against Miami in the exhibition finale – New Orleans' Mr. Everything QB said the Saints got what they wanted from this 4 ½ week endeavor.
"I feel like we got accomplished what we set out to accomplish which was to get a little better each time, get the number of snaps that we felt like we needed, spread the ball around, operate efficiently and effectively with good tempo and rhythm, all those things," Brees said.
As cliché as that certainly sounds, there's truth to it.
The Saints opened preseason with a listless 17-13 win over Kansas City. The offense went punts, field goal, punt, turnover on downs and punt before halftime. They had just 163 total yards and were 2 of 7 on third down.
A week later, it was better. Field goal, touchdown, touchdown, field goal and field goal were the results of New Orleans' first five drives.
That they made that transition in such a short amount of time without having game plans at their disposal shows Brees' point.
And other than Joe Morgan, the Saints' receiver who was lost for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, New Orleans' offense emerged relatively healthy. Even more, they've found that two in-house draft picks – Nick Toon and Kenny Stills – could deliver on their promise.
"The goal is obviously is healthy as you can going into Week 1 and also with as much confidence as you feel you can have," Brees said. "I feel like we have felt that (confidence) as we are going along."
There's a good reason for that. New Orleans, starters and backups, rank third in the NFL in yards per game, first in sacks allowed per pass attempt and fourth in average time of possession.
In other words, the Saints' offense is on pace to be the Saints' offense as it has been under Sean Payton.

Risotto with Gorgonzola

An airy bulge move leads into exciting terrain up a featured, unprotected prow (this part may merit an 'S' rating, if you're not comfortable on unprotected 5.7). Place a directional at the top, and head to the right to belay/lower from anchors at the top of Curving Crack.
Small to medium aliens/cams and nuts. A blue alien fits perfectly in a slot on the upper section.

Hashim Shawa, the head of the Bank of Palestine, says that in 2012 Palestine will adopt the private pension system that Chile pioneered 30 years ago and has exported throughout the world. As you can see from the map below, it will become the second Arab territory after Egypt to do so. Of course, the devil is in the details, and for the reform to be as successful as it has been in Chile, Palestine should introduce a whole set of complimentary economic reforms. But if done right, at least in this regard Palestinians will be ahead of almost all of their neighbors, including Israel.

Architecture as the mirror of an age. Part I: destroyed and forgotten
Cross-regional and Blogosphere, Culture and History, Uzbekistan6 Comments
Alex Ulko, NewEurasia's special blogger, begins a series of publications on the architecture of Central Asia. The reasons for the mass destructions in region, cultural analysis and exclusive photos – in the first article
That architecture is one of the most visible, tangible and decisive symbols of its time is part of commonplace wisdom shared by Egypt's pharaohs, European monarchs, Chinese emperors and 20th century's dictators alike. A lot has been written about titanic efforts of various rulers to immortalise their human power in stone (and more recently, in steel, glass and concrete) and Central Asia is not an exception. The revolving golden statues of the Turkmenbashi in Asgabad, the grand Khan Shatyr designed by Sir Norman Foster in Astana, the strikingly expensive Palace of Forums in Tashkent and many other architectural wonders of the recent years found their critics and admirers and yet I would like to discuss two aspects of local construction which usually attract less attention. The first is the kind of architecture that appears in passim, not commissioned by presidents or local authorities, and the second is what Mikhail Bakhtin, a Russian literary critic, called 'a minus-shape', in other words, the architecture denounced as unnecessary and subsequently destroyed. Let me begin with the latter category and say a couple of words about the buildings that have been destroyed in Uzbekistan in recent years.
The unique Monument of Freedom in Samarkand's Central Park built in 1919 by an Austrian POW and a local Russian architect was destroyed in 2009
The Monument was destroyed at night and by the next morning the site was empty
As cities develop and grow, it is inevitable that some buildings and even areas get demolished and one has to get over it, despite the strong feelings one or another building may evoke. However, it is important to examine what particular edifices are sacrificed and the lessons learnt from this exercise, in my opinion, may be as telling as the analysis of the above mentioned grand structures symbolising the conscious power of the ruling class. Talking about Uzbekistan, one of the most apparent motives for the destruction of certain buildings, identified by many is the desire of the current regime to eradicate the memories of the Soviet (and by extension- of the Russian) rule. While it is certainly true in many respects, a quick glance at the list of the demolished buildings and residential areas does not support the theory of a conscious anti-Soviet and anti-Russian conspiracy.
In 2010, a large part of the century-old Central Park in Samarkand was destroyed and huge healthy plane trees taken down
Systematically wiped out quarters of colonial Tashkent, Samarkand and Ferghana are not alone in their losses; they are matched by equally arbitrary and off-handed treatment of 'old towns' where the ancient monuments undergo some heavy-handed 'restoration' and living quarters are simply taken down. In fact, such historic cities as Samarkand and Bukhara have suffered the most. I remember all too well the scenes of destruction at Shakhi-Zindah, arguably the most interesting architectural complex in Samarkand, the gem of the Temurid architecture. In 2004 UNESCO sanctioned the restoration of the ensemble on the condition that it would be carefully done using the authentic construction materials of the time scattered around the surviving mausoleums. The 'restoration' however, involved the destruction of some brickwork with crowbars and the use of reinforced concrete. Soon a similar fate befell the ancient monuments and old neighbourhoods around Guri-Amir and the Registan in Samarkand, the Hasti-Imom complex in Tashkent and many other old quarters in other cities of Uzbekistan. The vibrant and crowded Tashkent street in Samarkand connecting the Registan and the Siab bazaar was cleaned and brushed up in the 1980s and 90s until it was finally transformed into a lifeless line of 'boutiques' all designed to one standard, involving polished flagstones, shining metal railings and large windows, which will be discussed later along with other examples of modern (hardly contemporary) architecture.
Such cottages in the centre of Tashkent are increasingly rare
The same can be said about much lamented and mysterious in its purpose and motive massacre of plane trees in all cities of Uzbekistan in 2009-2012. Again, the internet is full of hypotheses linking this programme of extermination to the apparent colonial status of the plane tree, urus-darakht (Russian tree) and the anti-Soviet stance of the government. In fact, this programme merely put the gradual annihilation of public green spaces that has been underway for many years, on a different scale. Almost any person living in the private sector in any city in Uzbekistan could recall that the first step that makes a typical new owner of property would be to demolish the nearly century-old house and to chop all the trees around it to free place for a concrete courtyard.
Large parts of the colonial architecture of Samarkand were demolished in 2010
A snapshot from the film 'The Mirror of the World' showing how the 14th century brickwork of Shahi-Zindah was smashed with crowbars and spades in 2004
The problem is that these people simply see beauty in a different way: an old shabby colonial cottage with a crooked apricot tree outside and rickety 19th century wardrobes inside is ugly, and large, barrack-like concrete palaces painted in sugary hues are beautiful. The medieval civilisation that could maintain such plane tree groves as the famous Chor-Chinor in Urgut with its huge 500 to 1000 years old planes, is long gone. On the other hand, Ruslan Muradov, an architect and art historian from Asgabad, maintains that the cultural value of the old and the authentic is a fairly new development, linked with the liberation and secualrisation of the 18th-century Europe. In his opinion, the late Soviet-Russian-European protective and positivist approach to the material cultural values of the past is simply fading away in the newly independent Central Asian states. In other words, the off-handed demolition of historical urban areas in Uzbekistan and other Central Asian states is not the result of a carefully planned nationalistic campaign with rationally selected targets but is a mere consequence of a general lack of culture.
Dozens of houses in the historical Penjikent Street in the centre of Samarkand's old town was devastated in 2010

Barcelona have been about as close to a tailspin as is possible since their 2-0 loss to AC MIlan in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie. Two losses to Real Madrid and less than stellar league performances (in general) have create a real sense of doubt about the team's ability to overcome the deficit today and advance to the next round.
The highly intelligent individuals at Barca Blaugranes, our Barcelona blog, have offered up their opinions about Tito Vilanova and Jordi Roura's formation options ahead of today's match.
There are really only two options: 4-3-3 or 3-4-3. With the 4-3-3, Barca will still have three forwards and plenty of chances to score, but a 3-4-3 gives maximum attacking options with an extra offensive midfielder instead of a fullback, However, the 3-4-3 carries more risk of conceding.
Both options are intriguing but my first reaction to a 3-4-3 is of course a concern for Barca's defense and their propensity to concede goals.
The 3-4-3 could potentially liberate Messi and give him a chance to pull the strings with his sharp passing, but Milan's counter attack could leave Barca's three-man line exposed.
My personal feeling is that Barcelona will start the game in a 4-3-3 formation and try to get an early goal. If the score remains 2-0 going into halftime, that would be the likely time for Roura to make an adjustment and go with a more aggressive formation. Starting in a 3-4-3 would take some stones, so to speak, and would draw some serious backlash if Milan were able to exploit the formation and score a goal.
On the flip-side, making a change that allowed Messi to play slightly deeper and have someone ahead of him to work off could make a huge difference in breaking down Milan's defense. It would also allow Andres Iniesta to play a more normal midfield role, rather than being push forward on the wing to create room for Cesc Fabregas in the midfield.
Whatever the choice that Barcelona's coaching staff makes, it's going to be an interesting day at the Camp Nou.

On Friday, September 22, retired General Michael Dunlavey presented "Leadership in a Troubled World." to over 100 students and visitors on the campus of Lake Erie College. His motivational speech was part of an afternoon event designed to give potential honors students from area high schools the opportunity to learn about the honors program at Lake Erie College.
In his speech, Judge Dunlavey urged students to become leaders, asserting that leaders are made, not born. He also outlined what he believes to be the characteristics of true leaders. Among the qualities he identified were "courage in their beliefs," "magnanimity in their dealings with others," and "perseverance in the face of adversity." Above all, he said, "leaders do the right thing," and challenged students to always do what they believe to be "the right thing."
Dunlavey also shared a number of experiences from his time working at various government institutions, such as the Terrorism Threat Interrogation Center, the National Security Agency and the Army's Intelligence and Security Command. As an authority on today's troubled world, General Dunlavey discussed his personal views on such issues as terrorism, foreign policy and civil rights. At the conclusion of his speech, he also took time to answer the students' questions.
Judge Dunlavey graduated from the University of Notre Dame and served in the United States Army for four years. He later received his Juris Doctor degree from the State University of New York in Buffalo and established a private practice in Pennsylvania concentrating in complex civil litigation. Dunlavey also served as an assistant District Attorney for Erie County, Pa., was elected to the Court of Common Pleas and later served in the Army Reserve where he was promoted to Brigadier General and was assigned as the Deputy Commanding General of the Army's Intelligence and Security Command. He was later promoted to Major General, and then General at the National Security Agency, Fort Meade, Maryland. Shortly after 9/11, Major Dunlavey was personally chosen by the Secretary of Defense to create and establish and interrogation center and system to house al Qaeda, Taliban and other terrorists from around the world in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. General Dunlavey successfully completed that mission in November of 2002 and returned to the National Security Agency. In August of 2003, he was assigned to the new Terrorism Threat Integration Center as the associate director for Homeland Security. He has recently retired from the Army and returned to civilian life.
Founded in 1856, Lake Erie College is a dynamic and progressive institution of higher education. The College offers 26 undergraduate majors, including new programs in sports management, forensic psychology and therapeutic horsemanship, as well as master's degrees in business administration and education. This coeducational college, grounded in the liberal arts, enrolls just over 1,000 students of all ages and is nationally recognized for its equine studies programs and international learning opportunities for students.

Owen Thomas, Business Insider
It is presumably important, because they are putting a lot of their own money behind it. (Wojcicki is married to Google cofounder Sergey Brin.)
But not important enough for them to honor the winners by showing up on time to their own event.
There are a lot of TV cameras in the room, and reporters from CNN, CNBC, the Wall Street Journal, and other publications. Organizers asked the press corps to show up early.
The program just started—55 minutes late. None of them apologized for the late arrival either.
Venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz fines partners who are late to meetings with entrepreneurs. Maybe that's a good idea to apply more broadly.

I wrote that I want to take pictures, play music, and write stories about interesting people.
At the time, I was a night shift supervisor for the phone company in a data center, and at times I felt like a ship lost at sea without engine, compass, or rudder. It was a good job, but I longed to do more with my life.
I was trapped by the security of my job. We needed insurance, and we had bills to pay, so we had to have a steady paycheck.
We'd built a new house a few years before, and I wanted to go back to college for my master's degree, but I felt that was a pipe dream without a steady job with a regular paycheck.
It seemed crazy at the time to even consider doing anything else, but that didn't stop me from writing those words in my journal.
I laughed out loud as I read that passage tonight, because I shot photographs today of high school kids who'd received sports scholarships to colleges around the country.
This afternoon, I interviewed a man who played football on a University of Alabama football team that won two national championships. He got a great job after college, got married, had kids, then lost it all when he got strung out on pain meds after problems with kidney stones.
He was homeless for a few years; he pawned his college national championship rings to buy drugs.
I don't want to say too much right now, because the story has not been published, but he did turn his life around and his story is nothing less than remarkable.
I'd say he was an interesting person to interview.
Tonight, Jilda and I are finalizing our set list for our gig tomorrow night. In the past year, we've played at festivals, art galleries, and coffee houses around the area. We don't make a great deal of money, but playing music seems to be good for the soul. So maybe you can see why I smiled when I read the entry from 1992 — I want to take pictures, play music, and write stories about interesting people.
I think everybody has dreams, but I guess too many believe their dreams could never come true. Back in 1992, I didn't know how I would ever make my words come to life, but those dreams were important enough to me that I wrote them down in my journal.
Things didn't happen over night, but I marched steadily in the direction of my dreams.
I think I can say with some authority that words have power.
Even if you don't see any way possible that you can make something happen in your life, write down what you want.
I'm living proof that it pays off.

Victor Butler, slated to be one of New Orleans' starting outside linebackers in the team's new 3-4 defense, tore an anterior cruciate ligament in one of his knees, according to the Times-Picayune's Larry Holder and the NFL Network.
Butler signed with New Orleans in free agency this offseason, following new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan from Dallas. The 25-year-old had been somewhat of an on-field coach for those players unused to Ryan's 3-4 scheme having played in it for the past three seasons.
On Tuesday, the third-to-last day of team organized team activities, Butler collided with Mark Ingram after the running back caught a swing pass going to his right.
Butler immediately went to the ground, bent over in pain. Athletic trainers eventually aided the linebacker off the field, carrying him with his arms around their shoulders into the team's main building from the indoor facility. Both coach Sean Payton and Ingram spent time making sure Butler was OK before getting back to practice.
After practice, Payton said that the two players "banged knees," saying, "I think he is going to be fine actually, so we are fortunate."
But less than 24 hours later, that appears to have been early wishful thinking.
It's likely that Butler will end on injured reserve. Linebacker Martez Wilson will now likely be in the hunt to take over for Butler at the position.

Harry Potter Night 2007 by HPFans - about 7 years ago
"This year for our "Harry Potter Night" we designed our shirts using CustomInk. We go SO many compliments at the movie, as well as the night that the 7th Harry Potter book was released. Everyone kept asking us where we got our shirts...and we told them that we designed them on CustomInk. Working with CustomInk was great, and the shirts have held up very well. I wear mine all the time, and have washed it several times and it still looks brand new!"

Wow, nine comments and not one complaint!! Must be a new record.
ITS AMAZING, well except the part with Harry grabbing Voldemort, it looks like he is going to kiss him, but the Snape memory stuff looks great.
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHH! I was holding my breath the whole time! I think I am going to cry!! DX
Great job Leaky staff! I think you guys are the only ones who have it up right now. Apple is still having issues with their link
Thanks for letting us know it doesn't show until the last half hour. That saves the Los Angeles people some time waiting for it. Nice to have the QT file in the meantime. :)
Ok….it's not bad but I just can't help thinking that throughout the trailer I've heard Voldemort's scream at least 5 times and it was like the same scream!

Director of the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts from 2004-2009, Sharilyn J. Ingram came to academia from a career in cultural management, including such positions as President and CEO of Royal Botanical Gardens (Canada), Deputy Director of the Art Gallery of Ontario, Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Western Development Museums, and Director of Policy, Planning, and Management Services at the National Museums of Canada. Throughout her career she has served on numerous boards and advisory committees, including the Cultural Human Resources Council, the Metro Toronto Cultural Advisory Committee, the St. Catharines and Area Arts Council, the Niagara Symphony Association, and the American Public Gardens Association. Consulting clients include the Vancouver Olympics 2010 Organizing Committee, the Saskatchewan Foundation for the Arts, the National Museum of Science and Industry (UK), City of Vancouver Cultural Services Department, and the City of Burlington (Public Art Master Plan). In 2005 she was named a Fellow of the Canadian Museums Association, the highest recognition of service to the museum sector.
At Brock she teaches arts management and cultural policy, based upon her experience as a senior manager and as a drafter of federal cultural legislation. Her research interests include cultural leadership (with particular attention to organizational culture and human resource issues), the intersection of gardens and art, meaning-making within the museum, and Monet at Giverny. During her recent sabbatical year she was a keynote speaker at the 4th Global Botanic Gardens Congress in Dublin, speaking about art in public gardens. Beginning in 2011 she is a community appointee to the Culture Committee of the Regional Municipality of Niagara.
