J.Z. Knight, the Yelm-based spirit channeler with followers around the world, has given $65,000 to Thurston County Democrats for political activities this year, the largest of any donor. The move reverses a position of Democrats in 2012 – when the state Democratic Party gave away $70,000 and local Democratic candidates gave away smaller contributions from Knight and her Ramtha School of Enlightenment.
The spurning of contributions in 2012 came after a right-of-center think tank posted videos online showing Knight ranting about Catholics, gays and Mexicans, whom she said bred like rabbits.
This time, the county party is resisting calls by the Freedom Foundation, the libertarian-styled think tank in Olympia that posted the videos, and state Sen. Tim Sheldon to give the money back. Party chairman Roger Erskine said he welcomes the money that will be used to sponsor a yearly Kennedy dinner later this year and assist with party activities, but not used for donations to candidates.
"We're comfortable that is she is in fact a good Democrat and she supports our program. We're thankful for the gift,'' Erskine said. "We reported this quite a while ago (to the Public Disclosure Commission). We have not had a single inquiry."
The foundation posted a report on Knight and the donations on its web site on Wednesday, asking why the party would accept the contributions given Knight's statements on the videos.
"We definitely think the Thurston County Democrats should give back the money. And this time actually give it back to the source rather than simply funneling it to another liberal organization. If it was the right thing to do then, it's the right thing to do now. Since when is there a statute of limitations on sleaze?" said Jeff Rhodes, managing editor of the libertarian Freedom Foundation's publications, in an email.
Knight's company – JZK, Inc. – has won two legal fights over the videotapes, which it has said took Knight's comments out of context. It secured a Thurston County judge's order last year preventing a former student of her Ramtha School of Enlightenment from distributing portions of videos that came from training sessions. The school asserted copyright control over the material.
That ruling and another stemming from the school's lawsuit against the ex-student, Virginia Coverdale, are on appeal at the state Supreme Court, and no court date has been set. See details in a news report from Jeremy Pawloski of The Olympian.
Knight's spokesman Rob Wynne released a statement this week from the school that cast doubt on the legitimacy of the videos:
"It has taken a lot of effort to reveal the lengths to which our critics have gone to cast JZ Knight in a false light in order to support their vitriolic agenda. Only when put under oath in litigation did we finally get the truth. "Court documents are available for public inspection in Thurston County in the case against Virginia Coverdale and in the New Zealand High Court in Auckland in the case against David McCarthy. JZK, Inc. received admissions by both defendants that the videos they disseminated in 2012 had first been edited. Virginia hired a video editor to create what she wanted. David did the editing himself to create the impressions he wanted, including altering audio tracks from the original video recordings. "Our critics aren't happy that the truth contradicts the image of the 'evil demon' they promulgate. To them, Democratic officials had been corrupted or fooled by JZ Knight but not our critics. They wouldn't let facts distract them so they ignore the conclusions of competent authorities and become vigilantes. "There is a way to find truth in our courts of law. In the courts, justice is served against vigilantes who lie, slander, and abuse the public trust. And just like in November 2012, the public won't forget who has abused their trust.
UPDATE: David McCarthy responded Thursday:
Mr. Wynne's press release is full of false and malicious statements against me.
There are no court documents in New Zealand that resemble anything that Mr. Wynne said about me. My initial defense documents haven't even been turned in.
I did not alter the audio. As Sandra Romero pointed out in her October 2012 statement, it was apparent that my video was not doctored.
No court has stated that I did any of the things that Wynne attributed to me.
Erskine described Knight as an upstanding citizen and said "she keeps winning business person of the year awards from her (Yelm) constituency – the chamber of commerce out there.''
Erskine – and Sandra Romero, a county commissioner who gave away Knight's contributions to a charity helping immigrants in 2012 – both question whether Knight is racist. They question whether the profanity-laced videos showing her denigrating the Catholic church, gays and Mexican were accurate. In one video Knight describes a population explosion from Mexican Catholics; in others she complains of the church and says gay men were once Catholic women.
"Those are allegations that have been made. Those are being dealt with in the courts," Erskine said. "As far as I know the courts have not charged her with anything. … I don't know the background on that. She was never jailed; she has never paid any fines.''
Erskine said Thurston Democrats put the issue to a vote of their central committee. "They voted unanimously to accept the gift,'' he said. "We had a good thorough discussion about it. A motion was made and it was adopted."
"I think the Freedom Foundation, if they had received the money, would not have said anything except thank you. She does not agree with their goals and platform,'' Erskine added.
Romero said the videos, which included pictures of her attending a Knight-sponsored candidate forum in 2012, may have been tampered. "Evidently they even took some of her comments and juxtaposed some of them,'' she said.
"I don't believe she is a bigot, just because of the people I know that are part of her school," Romero added. "They are probably more (racially) integrated there than any other place in the county. Maybe Lacey is better integrated. I think it's all electioneering. It's all campaigning. It's spreading divisiveness. I just want people to work together. We have a lot of issues that divisiveness does not help solve.''
That is a lot different view than Romero had in 2012 when she decided to give away Knight's contribution after seeing a video of Knight talking about Mexicans. At that time, Romero said:
"Unlike the other videos that were heavily edited, spliced and taken out of context this most recent one appeared to be undoctored. I am appalled by Ms. Knight's outrageous anti-Mexican, anti-Catholic raging. These vile, racist, and divisive comments against responsible and caring people have no place in Thurston County, or anywhere else. I am particularly stunned by these anti-human rights comments from her, because of her otherwise very positive record of supporting scholarships for students in the Yelm area, her support for positive environmental organizations and policies, her support of local social service agencies and her significant contributions to the economy in southeast Thurston County. However, these hateful comments are the complete opposite of everything I stand for. I denounce them. I condemn them."Knight says she channels a 35,000-year-old warrior and in 1998 founded her Yelm school to teach others about her beliefs. The school has had tens of thousands of followers.

When Lee Ray Pickrell set up trail cameras along his property, a mountain lion was the last thing he expected see.
But that's exactly what appeared on his computer screen Monday.
"I was yelling at my wife, I was shocked," said Pickrell.
Pickrell lives along County Road K-5 on a Ripley County farm in southeast Missouri.
He says there is a good concentration of deer where the big cat was spotted, so he believes it may had been sticking around for some time.
"I hope he's gone though, I hope never see him again, I'm tickled I got the picture," said Pickrell.
This is the first confirmed sighting in Ripley County, the second in southeast Missouri in the last few weeks.
"It's pretty common to see evidence that a mountain lion has been in the area, but to actually spot one on camera is the first I've ever seen," according to Darren Killian, a 13-year agent with the Missouri Department of Conservation in Ripley County.
With firearm deer hunting season just around the corner, there are some things hunters need to know if they ever encounter a mountain lion, according to Jim Low, a spokesperson for the Missouri Department of Conservation.
"If a person sees a mountain lion in person and it doesn't immediately leave the area, try to look larger," Low said. "Don't ever turn your back on a mountain lion and back away from the area until you're out of sight of it. Should it attack, always fight back. many attacks ended when people fight back."
Low says that the department always wants to know if a mountain lion is caught or sighted.
Mountain lions are protected under the Missouri Wildlife Code.

For Preminger at Fox, we concentrate on five films, all of which were released on DVD under the Fox Film Noir umbrella. While one could argue about the use of the word noir in one instance, all five films have the look and feel of noir, they're all very much of a piece and they're all brilliantly directed by Otto Preminger.
Fallen Angel has all the classic noir ingredients – a down-at-the-heels drifter, a sultry siren that men will do anything for, an innocent nice girl, a tough cop, and various other archetypes. As he had with Laura, composer David Raksin provided another classic noir tune, this one called "Slowly," which plays as source music throughout the film (and is sung by both Alice Faye and Dick Haymes). Additionally, Raksin provides his usual expert background score, beginning with a nervous, bustling, and exciting main title and continuing through a series of wonderful cues. There's nothing quite like Raksin in noir mode and Fallen Angel is a Raksin classic.
Where the Sidewalk Ends reunited the stars of Preminger's Laura – Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney. The composer for Where the Sidewalk Ends wasn't Preminger regular David Raksin, but a Fox staff composer named Cyril J. Mockridge, with whom Preminger had worked before. Mockridge based his score around Alfred Newman's classic "Street Scene" music – a piece that was used regularly in films of all types at Fox during that era. But what Mockridge does with it is great, and his own original music, of which there is plenty, suits the film perfectly.
No Preminger at Fox collection would be complete without the film that started it all – Laura, Preminger's 1944 classic. For this CD, we include "The Laura Suite – Theme and Variations."
Daisy Kenyon (1947), is a drama with a romantic triangle at its center, involving Joan Crawford, Dana Andrews, and Henry Fonda. It's a terrific drama, filled with Preminger's directorial touches that elevate it from being just another potboiler. Once again, the composer is David Raksin. Although the film has almost no music, the little that's there is wonderful.
Whirlpool (1949), has a cast that includes Gene Tierney, Richard Conte, Jose Ferrer, and Charles Bickford. Once again a Preminger film features a classic David Raksin score, this one filled to the brim with one great cue after another beginning with its dramatic and then beguiling main theme. For this film, Raksin is at his most atmospheric and it's one of his best scores and the longest score in this set.
Five great films by one great director for a great studio – four with scores by David Raksin and one with a gem of a score by Cyril J. Mockridge, all of which adds up to some great Golden Age film score listening. - KRITZERLAND

In his first term, Barack Obama's Africa policy was notable mostly for its apathy and false starts. But a newly announced initiative has the potential to be a lasting legacy.
If Ukraine does manage to pacify the Donbas, it will be saddled with a devastated, unstable, and permanently insecure rust belt that will continue to do what it has done since independence in 1991: serve as a channel for Russian influence on Ukraine's internal affairs and a home to political forces that oppose reform and integration with the West.
Davutoglu's foreign policy has dangerously exposed Turkey to regional threats, which will probably preoccupy him as he takes over the prime ministership.
Letters From
Wardah Nur never imagined that she would become a soldier. And, until ten years ago, she couldn't have. Nur belongs to a small, elite group -- the 2013 "lady cadets," as they are called -- the latest batch of women to train at the Pakistan Military Academy since it began accepting them in 2006 during General Pervez Musharraf's presidency.
In the 12 years since gaining independence, East Timor has struggled in almost every facet of economic and political management. As its neighboring economies boom, it is quietly on the path to becoming a failed state. And it is quickly running out of time to change course.
Vienna's opulent Palais Coburg was originally designed as a palace for Austria's former Habsburg dynasty. But amid the tense negotiating sessions over the future of Iran's nuclear program, it could sometimes feel more like a prison -- for diplomats and journalists alike.
Earth Overshoot Day is the date on which humanity's demand for natural resources exceeds the earth's ability to renew them in a year. Last year, we hit that mark on August 20. This year, it comes one day earlier. For the remainder of 2014, in other words, we will be living beyond our planet's means.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban recently announced his government's decisive break with liberal democracy. If EU leaders do not address this problem, they could soon lose Hungary for good.

With a lineup depleted by injuries and unable to even field a full lineup, North Dakota was looking help from anyone tonight.
UND found it again in the form of its freshmen class. As in Friday's 4-4 tie with Harvard, the freshman class contributed four more goals tonight in an impressive 7-3 victory over the Crimson at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
The all-freshman line of Brendan O'Donnell (Winnipeg, Manitoba), Connor Gaarder (Edina, MN.) and Mark MacMillan (Penticton, B.C.) led the way. Each player had a goal with Gaarder setting the pace with two assists to go with his second goal in two games. Freshman Michael Parks (St. Louis, Mo.) chipped in with a goal as well.
UND could only dress 11 healthy forwards and 5 defensemen, one under the norm at each position.
One of the veterans in the lineup, junior right wing Danny Kristo (Eden Prairie, Mn.) led the way with two goals and one assist to join Gaarder and junior Joe Gleason (Edina, Mn.) with a three-point night. All are right wingers.
"I thought he was the leader of our team tonight,'' UND coach Dave Hakstol said of Kristo. "Not by anything he said, just by his actions on the ice and the level he played at. Most importantly, he had that high will level in him that we've seen before.''
In Kristo's case, where there's a will, there's a way.
UND rallied from an early 1-0 deficit to take the lead on goals by O'Donnell and Gaarder at 7:02 and 8:47 of the first period.
That's when Kristo tilted the game UND's way permanently.
He showed great patience to beat Harvard goalie Steve Michalek with a sizzling wrister at 13:31 and came back with a power-play goal at 15:13 when freshman defenseman Nick Mattson (Chanhassen, Mn.) set him up all alone;
That 4-1 lead was all UND needed to run its record to 6-1-1 over the last eight games. UND improved to 10-8-2 overall while Harvard dropped to 4-4-4.
The seven goals tied the most this season, matching the total of a 7-6 win over Colorado College on Nov. 25.
Sophomore Brock Nelson (Warroad, Minn.) completed UND's scoring with his team-best 15th goal of the season late in the third period.
Being short in the lineup proved to be no obstacle for the Sioux, who came out with an edge after kicking away a two-goal lead in the last period in Friday's tie.
"Having a lot of guys out of the lineup is hard to do,'' Gaarder said. "A lot of guys came out and stepped up and made some big plays tonight,'' Gaarder said. "Freshmen had to step up and play big.''
Kristo said the team was still smarting earlier in the day after giving up the lead in Friday's tie. "We kind of gave that game away yeterday and everyone was pretty upset about it. So basically the mentality was to come in hard and play Fighting Sioux hockey and come back and get a victory tonight;''
The Sioux played without injured players Corban Knight (High River, Alberta), Derek Rodwell (Taber, Alberta) and Mario Lamoureux (Grand Forks). Also missing was defenseman Derek Forbort (Duluth, Minn.), who is playing in the World Junior Tournament currently going on in Canada.
"With Knighter, Mario and Rods out, guys needed to step up,'' Kristo said. "Our freshmen did a great job this weekend. Hats off to those guys.''
Hakstol said the depeted lineup was never an issue. "Our mindset was pretty focused on how important this game was and how critical it was to get the win,'' Hakstol said.
A win an a tie against Harvard from the ECAC could provide a key edge later in the season when the 16-team NCAA tournament field is picked. Currently, neither UND nor Harvard rank in the top 16 in the Pairwise Rankings, which mimic the process the NCAA uses to pick its 16-team field.
Gaarder has played in just over half of UND's games (11 of 20), but his role has increased dramatically of late, and his contributions have been noticeable.
"It's kind of been an interesting transition for him,'' Hakstol said. "He came in and didn't play a lot early. He kept working for more opportunity. Every time he gets more opportunity, he takes advantage and does some positive things for our team.''
Gaarder's one-timer from the right point just six seconds into a power play gave UND a 2-1 lead and put it ahead to stay.
Players on all three of UND's full lines contributed at least one goal with the top two lines leading the way with three scores each.
"Tonight we got a little bit from everybody,'' Hakstol said. "I thought our young guys had their best weekend offensively.''

of the 30 companies continued to enjoy negative federal income tax rates"
continued is the predicate and to enjoy is the object of the verb.
As to "in profits", I suppose it is an adverbial modifier of place.

DALLAS, July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global pioneer in security software, today announced the launch of its Second Annual Global Family Internship Program. This initiative promotes the importance of educating the millennial generation on cyber security, as well as provides first-hand work experience in a corporate environment.
"Young innovation is critical to the sustainability of our business," says Glenn Harbin, director of human resources, shared services, Trend Micro. "We want this internship to teach students not only about their field of interest, but also about how to integrate into the work environment. Generation Y is one that will redefine the workplace. Therefore, we believe it is our duty to stay ahead of the curve while making every effort to prepare both parties for the assimilation of the millennial generation into the corporate atmosphere."
The family internship program runs for up to eight weeks in the summer. Interns have the opportunity to learn about cyber threats from industry experts while focusing on the importance of data security for the millennial generation. Interns are generally relatives of Trend Micro employees, emphasizing the company's family-friendly culture.
Trend Micro offers a wide variety of fields of study for interns to pursue, including marketing, accounting, human resources, finance, research and development, technology support, and sales. Within these areas, interns learn the impact each department has on the company's ability to execute on its mission to create "a world safe for exchanging digital information."
"This internship is a phenomenal opportunity to see the inner workings of the corporate world. We are able to not only experience how a successful global company is run, but also see the application of the technology that the company creates," said Bobby Dotterer, a Trend Micro human resources intern. "As a millennial, I see first-hand how our lives are integrated with technology to an extent never before seen by society. Having an inside look at a company whose primary goal is to keep data of users of technology secure is extremely inspiring."
Throughout the course of the summer, interns will chronicle their experiences through blogs and social media. To follow interns' activities, visit http://blog.trendmicro.com or search #trendterns on Twitter.

A new thin-framed pair of shades will empty out a few pockets with a price tag of $500, but the controversy behind the poorly-named designer duds is enough to turn away several people.
The sunnies are named "Anorexxxy," referring to their super-thin frame. The french, "modern-vintage" design is quite captivating, but the offensive title that alludes to the eating disorder, Anorexia, is causing a ton of controversy.
Celebrities are grabbing the limited edition frames, but many people wonder if this product glorifies eating disorders.
The topic of eating disorders is one that has brought about a lot of controversy in recent years. #Thinspo was among Fox 29's most recent explorations of the of the community that desires thinness.
The sunglasses in question defend their brand saying they never realized that the name could cause such an uproar.

Firefighters have contained a small wildland fire that flared up north of Incline Village early Friday morning.
Firefighters with the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District first got a report of the fire around 2:30 am.
It was burning above the Allison Subdivision near Ralston Court and Jennifer Street.
Crews took more than an hour and a half to reach the fire's edge after hiking about a mile through thick and heavy vegetation.
And they got it contained pretty quickly, though it continued to put up smoke for a while afterward.
Firefighters say our drought conditions can mean fires can start even in January. "This is one of the driest water years on record, this is really unprecedented for this area. Hopefully we get some moisture soon," says John Washington of the U.S. Forest Service.
Firefighters urge campers to only light campfires in designated campgrounds, and say it's important for homeowners to create defensible space around their property.
No structures were threatened.
The U.S. Forest Service has taken command of this fire.
The cause remains under investigation. If anyone has information regarding this incident, call Assistant Fire Marshal, Mark Regan at 775-461-6200.

Parcel tax thread
Original post made by Dave on Mar 20, 2008
But now the board dropped off the home page and was down on page 2 of the forums and under sports! Is the PW trying to hide this even though still an active thread?
Here is the old page becuase there's good stuff there.

I think it's just natural thread progression. Unlike many forums,this forum doesn't kick a thread back to the top when someone post's on it.
You'll probably just need to keep chasing it around. IMO, it's not going away for awhile.........Many parents are upset!!!!
Like you, I've also "been educated" about school financing while reading the parcel tax thread.

When comparing our funds to San Ramon, it's important for our board to know that parents are asked to donate $500.00 per child during registration. These high pressure donations go into a fund that pays aides, reading specialists, and other extras. I'd rather pay a parcel tax of $150.00.
In regards to comparisons to Livermore Schools, I don't believe their elementary schools have vice principals. I am not sure about San Ramon.
If our board is going to analyze the reading specialists positions and their effectivenss to the point of conducting a 2 hour meeting on April 8th, shouldn't place other positions under the same scrunity?
I know my friends who are dedicated reading specialists are feeling "singled out" by the board.
Isn't learning to read the foundation for further success? Are we really a community of character in action or just words. The most fragile learners need our support, not our disdain because they "cost too much." Failing ANY child is a heavy cost for any community to bear.
Mom concerned about the board's direction
on Mar 21, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Thanks for educating me, Stacey,
I had no idea that function was there, but considering I have trouble just turning a computer "on" and "off" - it doesn't suprise me that I didn't notice it. :)
on Mar 23, 2008 at 7:36 am
Reading specialists are important, certainly more important than some of the administration staff the superintendent has refused to consider for layoffs.
The superintendent has refused to make obvious cuts to unnecessary expenses (like his car allowance, for instance) or to unnecessary positions in the administration (does anyone really think we should keep the Public Information Department intact when, at the same time, we are laying off Reading Specialists? - and this is just an example of an administration position that could be cut without impact to the students).
The board, unfortunately, has allowed the superintendent to do this, and we, the taxpayers, will have a chance to be heard when we vote for or against the parcel tax.....
on Mar 23, 2008 at 10:32 am
That's not exactly true, the cabinet, including the superintendent, recommended taking reading specialists off the cut list. It was Kris Weaver who insisted that reading specialists be put back on the list.
Only Pat Kernan, who has a deep understanding of what reading specialist do, and Chris Grant, who wants to cut administration first, voted against putting reading specialists on the list. Mrs. Weaver wants the opportunity to "allocate and possibly change" the reading specialist positions. A program with known success, so why change it? Our special education numbers are down over 300 children since 2002. The director of special education has said that he believes the reading specialists have made a difference in those numbers. Special Education is much more expensive than a strong reading specialist program. So, don't blame Dr. Casey for this one. Three members of the school board voted to pur reading specialists on the potential cut list to give "added flexibility". Unfortunately, those reading specialists are hanging in the balance and some have already excepted classroom positions rather than try the impossible task of serving two schools. Reading Specialists have been told they might not know their fate until August. How do they plan for the next school year, not knowing if they are in the classroom, out of a job (4 reading specialists are temporary teachers and received their layoff notices), or trying to share two schools or working on an allocation formula set by the board?
These reading specialists have saved the district thousands and thousands of dollars by serving as staff developers rather than the District hiring outside presenters at $1000.00 a day. A few board members are only focusing on numbers served rather than viewing reading specialists are intervention specialists who also have a huge impact on classroom intervention.
Write your board members if you are upset about reading specialists rather than blame Dr. Casey. He has been a supporter of the reading specialists because he knows first hand the impact they have had on student achievement and teacher training. That evening the board could have placed vice principals or other administrative positions back on the cut list, but they singled out reading specialists. So, if you want to write anyone about your concerns, write the board members.
on Mar 23, 2008 at 6:26 pm
And don't forget that Kris Weaver is up for reelection in the Fall.
on Mar 23, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Yes, good point!!!! Please attend or watch the school board meetings, and it will give you a very clear prespective of which board members try to represent the child who doesb't have a voice at school board meetings. Too much is decided based upon friendships, e-mails, and parents present at school board meetings. The reading specialists were told they were off probably off the cut list, so they didn't attend or ask their parents to attend that particular school board meeting. After the last elementary principal went home, Kris brought putting the reading specialists back on the cut list up for a vote. It appeared to be a very deliberate move to take that vote at 11:00 P.M. Yet, the Barton Reading Program which had lots of parent representation earlier that evening was saved from the potential cut list. Although a very successful reading intervention program which trains parent tutors, it only serves 2 elementary schools and is specifically designed for dyslexic children. Not all children who struggle with reading are dyslexic. Parents, not reading specialists, meet with these children two days a week; whereas, a reading specialist meets with their students 4-5 days a week and also provides English Language instruction, staff development,writes grants, updates teachers on the lastest research and research based instructional practices, demos lessons, and coaches teachers, particularly new teachers, as they grapple with implementation of new standards. Plus, reading specialists typically have a masters degree and all have reading specialist credentials. Both programs can run and work together, but cutting the reading specialists isn't a good idea right now with so...much pressure on student achievement.
We elect board members to represent all children! I hope Chris Grant and Pat Kernan continue to run and stay on the board. I don't under Jim Ott's position particularly since his own daughter benefitted from the reading specialist program at Mohr.
on Mar 25, 2008 at 10:32 am
Kris Weaver has been in favor of a parcel tax for years. But I will be surprised if she runs for re-election this year. I recall her being in favor of term limits when it was brought up a few years back. Chris Grant's seat is up for re-election and I think he wants to keep it. Steve Brozosky stated he would not run for his seat when he was appointed last year so that seat should be up for grabs. Too bad because Steve asks really good questions that most of the others aren't willing to ask.
Pat Kernan was re-elected by default 2 years ago when he and Jim Ott both ran unopposed. But here is the issue. Pat Kernan is not a Pleasanton resident!! Do a search for him and you will find a residence AND his law firm address in Camino, CA. I don't think this is right even though he lived in town for many years and supposedly shares an apartment on occasion here in town. His kids are long grown and out of school. Why is the district allowing him to stay on the board? He should resign so that his seat can be replaced in this next election. We do not need another appointment so now is the time for him to step aside!
on Mar 25, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Calm down, Dave. Pat still has a residence and family in Pleasanton and spends plenty of time here. If you're not satisfied with his performance, then don't vote for him. But don't get sidetracked- there are too many other relevant issues to focus on here!
on Mar 27, 2008 at 8:15 am
Pat uses an address in this community but he and his wife sold their Pleasanton home several years ago and their primary residence is now in Camino two hours from here. Isn't this is illegal!!! There have been elected representatives in other communities that have been caught and held accountable for doing the same, recently a representative claiming to live in San Francisco.
We have heard that the school district is giving students ten day notices to vacate for using false addresses in Pleasanton, why do they look the other way for a board member?
on Mar 27, 2008 at 12:45 pm
John sounds like he is confirming that Kernan only keeps a residence and spends time here but does not live here. Is this legal? Does the rest of the school board know about this and allow it to continue?
on Mar 27, 2008 at 4:22 pm
" it's important for our board to know that parents are asked to donate $500.00 per child during registration. I'd rather pay a parcel tax of $150.00."
Dear Mom,
Our school board does know about the high pressure donations that are extorted out of us parents each year. They have made it clear a parcel tax will not eliminate the donations. The parcel tax will be in addition to them.
Have you had your child's name written on the board and humiliated in front of the class for not paying their fees the way my child has?
Is there really a Pleasanton trustee that does not live in Pleasanton?
on Mar 27, 2008 at 4:39 pm
According to this Web Link, it seems pretty clear Pat is based in Camino, CA -- not Pleasanton.
on Mar 27, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Yes, believe it or not, my son's preschool used "high pressure" tactics like posting names and making graphs of donations. They placed "wish lists" out on the counter constantly. This was after paying his monthly tuition. So, yes, I understand and believe that it is very unprofessional to do those things. I am sorry to hear that happens in our elementary schools.
Basically, the funding issue is a problem at the state level and districts are coming up with various ways around the lack of funding. Californias have come to think of things like class size reduction, specialists, music and art as extras. Whereas in many states, these are considered part of the core education program.
I am completely against "high pressure" donations at the school site. When I taught in the eighties, we could not ask for donations unless a parent came forward and offered. The school provided all necessary materials back then. We didn't even send supply lists home. Times have definitely changed.
The board is also a bit guilty of "high pressuring" this community into the "parcel tax" or else. Each time I write a board member in support of the reading specialists, the reply from most has come back with a comment about needing the "parcel tax" or "What would you like us to cut?" I don't want the students to miss out on anything that the children before them have had or experienced, so it appears we have to go the San Ramon direction...expensive and high pressure donations, a parcel tax, or lose programs. Personally, I have mixed feelings about all options, so hopefully the state budget at the May revise won't be as bad as projected. Hopefully, our elected officials won't let our Governor repeal Proposition 98 which guarantees a certain level of funding to our schools.
on Mar 27, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Schools are not allowed to charge fees and no students can be denied access because of the inability to pay. They are donations not fees. If a teacher is writing a name on the board for failure to pay, it should be brought to the teacher's attention or to an administrator's. There should be a way for the child or parent to quietly let the school know if money is an issue. Having said that. . .
All teachers rely on donations to give children in this area the kind of education we all want for our kids. There is no other way to provide it with the lack of state support for education. The copy budget for a department alone often exceeds the department's entire budget. Often the amount allocated for textbooks is less than the textbook cost. Those donations, along with the community's support is why the schools are better here than an areas that is economically challenged. The greatest (certainly not the only but the greatest) determiner for good schools is the socioeconomic status of the community.
on Mar 27, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Some agree with me even if John thinks it is okay for a non-Pleasanton resident to hold an elected position in the city. Using the mailing address for one of his adult kids, or even spending the occasional night there does not mean Kernan's PRIMARY residence is in Pleasanton. The office for his sole law practice is in Camino for pete's sake! What does that say about where he lives?
A year ago there were a number of Pleasanton residents who applied for the open board seat---ones with kids in our schools and experiencing current day to day issues. I am just saying that there are other residents willing to fill that position instead of allowing someone to continue on when they no longer live here. Where is the 'honesty' in this scenario or does the district pick and choose when the "Community of Character" traits are important?
Sorry to have gotten off the original intent of this thread. But, I am just stunned that this is allowed here when it is front page news when it happens elsewhere.
on Mar 27, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Mom, Consider responding to the board member's question of "What would you like us to cut?" with a reply to cut administrator's salaries by 5%! Last fall they approved admin raises of 4% totaling $407k (money not available in the budget) so a 5% cut should more than make up for the reading specialists.
The board should be having that discussion and not buying into the selfish line that Dr. Casey gave them. Per the PW article:
"The problem with that is getting back to having a competitive salary schedule and we don't have the authority to do that unilaterally," he said. "When you start cutting salaries and reducing days, you become less competitive. It's something that we're going to consider, but it's hard to pull salaries back up to where they were."
The district and board know that it will be MUCH easier to pass a parcel tax if the public thinks that reading specialists are at risk of being lost! After all, how many people will vote to approve a tax if it is to give administrator's a raise. That is a lot more than being a "bit guilty" of pressuring the community into a parcel tax. IMO.
And keep in mind that while San Ramon has a parcel tax and perhaps even larger parent donations, the ADA dollars they receive are about $650 per student LESS than Pleasanton. SR teachers, on average, are paid about $4k less than Pleasanton teachers (adjusting for benefits.) Does anyone have any data comparing administrator salaries for the 2 districts?
I still say no parcel tax until PUSD cuts from the top down!
on Mar 28, 2008 at 10:10 am
Dear Moms,
I am a reading specialist in Pleasanton, and I don't believe the board will get a parcel tax passed "to save reading specialist positions." If the board is trying to gain support for a parcel tax, they used the wrong pawn. We serve a very silent minority of students in our district. Reading specialists are passionate about our work, and I know I felt completely demoralized when I heard some of the comments from the board that February evening. "Bang for our buck" was the worst. Just reading this thread, there have been so misunderstandings about who placed the reading specialists back on the potential cut list. The cabinet, including the supertindent, asked for the removal of the reading specialists from the cut list. A board member insisted placing them back on to create "flexibility". (However, four of our reading specialists have received lay off notices during this period of flexibility--all experienced teachers which left job security in other districts to come to PUSD. Districts always have trouble recruiting experienced reading specialists, and now these actions from the board will make future searches even more difficult).
A board presentation will be made at the first board meeting in April. The board will examine how all the various reading programs, K-12, serve the children in this district. We are unsure if they will vote on any changes that evening.
Allocating reading specialist time turns reading specialist into tutors. That negates the complexity and the depth of our position and the strength of creating a schoolwide literacy program including providing staff development to our teachers. As in Fremont, once a reading specialist becomes parttime at each school, the strength of the position weakens, and eventually, like in Fremont, is cut all together. Then in a few years, the levels of the children in the upper grades will begin to widen. Why do so many parents leave Fremont to bring their children to Pleasanton Schools? They want the pace of the instruction to meet all children's needs, including their high achieving children.
The most powerful voices are the ones that actually attend the meetings. That has been so apparently clear during this budget process. How this community takes care of their most fragile learners truly defines whether we truly are a community of character in actions not just words.

Do not get pulled into the question of which programs should get cut. Give direction to restructure and find cuts that do not touch the kids or get an outside professional to come in and show PUSD how it would be done in the real world.
Only then should a parcel tax be considered.
Send email to:

Pat Kernan and his wife no longer live in Pleasanton. They sold their home more than three years ago.
Pat's wife, Marcia identified herself as "a resident of another community" in this PW post.

Would the Pleasanton Weekly please investigate this? Is it legal to be on an elected board if you no longer live in the community?
on Apr 3, 2008 at 9:41 am
I received this email from the PTA this morning:
"Join the Pleasanton PTA Council, concerned parents, students and community members and let your voices be heard as we urge our political leaders that cuts in education are just not acceptable!
Where: Amador Valley High School
When: Friday, April 4th, 2008
4:00pm - 5:00pm
Parents and children are encouraged to make and bring their own signs!"
This seems like a great idea, until you realize they are not speaking to the Superintendent, who STILL refuses to realize that he and his office are a huge part of the problem. I someone should oganize an alternative rally at the same exact time where everyone meets in front of Caseys office and demands that he look for cuts in his administration. Once again, wasting time and not addressing the real problems.
on Apr 3, 2008 at 1:49 pm
I would like to have a meeting but what good would it do to make it at 4-5:00 on Friday at the district office? No one will be there.
I support the PTA rally but agree we need to influence locally also.
If some parents want to meet at 3:30 at Amador with our own signs then hope parents from the PTA rally will support our points, that would make more sense.
on Apr 3, 2008 at 11:08 pm
I think it is fair to say that the problem is in the state as well as local. The rally will be good to show your support to the state legislators although those from the state that will be at the rally seem to be tax and spend representatives that want to raise taxes. I think the message to them needs to be to work within their means and ensure that schools get funded to the amount required by law. They might have to severly cut other programs in the state (many of which they started up in the last 4 or 5 years).
Locally, you need to go the School Board workshop next Tuesday, April 8 from 6pm till 7pm. This workshop is on their proposed Parcel Tax. This will be at the School Board chambers at the district office. This is the time to tell the Superintendent that "he and his office are a huge part of the problem." You need to tell him what it is you would want him and his office to do before you would even consider to support a parcel tax. The Board has to hear this. You would be wise to tell the board that our district gave out raises to management just before the reduction in revenue was made public (how convenient) while San Ramon held off in their raises. If we took these raises back that we would not have to make all these these cuts. It is easy to make the connection that a parcel tax would be paying for the raise to management. Do you want to pay for a parcel tax that paid for the raise to the Superintendent's staff?
Another thing that I have not heard mentioned at their hearings is the cost of an election. I thought I heard from somebody that this is over $100,000 to the district. We need to ask. If you do not support the parcel tax, it is best to let the board know now before they spend the money on the election, forcing even more cuts. I imagine that the district will also hire consultants and send mailers in favor of their parcel tax so the cost may be much more than $100,000.

There are a lot of negative blogs about PUSD administration. This problem is truly at the state level, not at the PUSD administrative offices. I have worked in four school districts, and PUSD is the most slim in support staff at the administrative level. Many districts have various curriculum directors, we only have two. Most districts have a person or two more for each GATE, English Language Learners and other special projects, we have one person doing all of those jobs. We only have one person in charge of the large task of testing. As a reading specialist, I work directly with many of our administrators at the district office, and they have a tremendous workload because years ago, during the last budget crisis, they trimmed the work force.
If you are angry about administration, go the the California Department of Education website and look at the amount of jobs in Sacramento. The biggest problem with funding is that we need more to come directly to district without categorical strings attached.
Please use your energy to write Sacramento. Right now, the fact is our district has to cut 4.5 million dollars. It has to come from somewhere. I am one of the reading specialists who may have my caseload cut in half, and it saddens me that 50% of my students won't continue services next year. I don't blame Dr. Casey, I blame the governor's budget. As a mom, do I chose reading specialists, counselors, or class size reduction? I know I don't want my kindergarten to enter a class of 33 instead of 20 in the fall.
I believe it is harmful to start comparing our district to others, but each district has it's own particular needs. As far as pay, some of the very best teachers in the bay area come to Pleasanton from our surrounding districts because of the PUSD pay schedule and the working conditions, including the support we receive from our administrators. Those of us who left districts are only placed on the 7th step of the salary schedule even if we had 8 or more years in our other district. I had 14 years experience before leaving another school district. We do this and give up our tenture because PUSD is an outstanding place to work and the pay schedule allows us to only suffer a minor hit to our pay. Otherwise, PUSD wouldn't beable to recruit experienced teachers to our district. As a mom, I am thrilled that my son will get the best of the best.
PUSD has a system that is working for children, so we can afford to take away any of the people or programs that have made us the 8th or 9th? best district for its size in the state of California.
I hope this community can pull together and fight for our children instead of against each other.

You have only said what we already know.... there is even more waste elsewhere.
"our district gave out raises to management just before the reduction in revenue was made public (how convenient) while San Ramon held off in their raises."
As Beth said:
"The district needs to show us, the community and taxpayers, that they are willing to make the necessary cuts at the top first. It is simply not right to tell me that class size will be increased in K-3, while keeping non-essential personnel and expenses (PIO, car stipends, to name a couple)."
Only after seeing serious cuts, kept away from our kids, then if I believed there was still a true need I would support a parcel tax.
School Board workshop next Tuesday, April 8 from 6pm till 7pm

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — BRENTWOOD — Former Salem Zoning Board of Adjustment Chairman and state Rep. Ronald "Tony" Giordano will spend a year in prison after pleading guilty to drug charges this morning.
Rockingham Superior Court Judge N. William Delker sentenced the former town official shortly before 10 a.m. and Giordano was led off to jail.
Giordano, 54, has been free on $10,000 cash bail following his arrest Dec. 30, 2011. He was the focus of a monthlong investigation by Salem police, who said they found more than 100 Oxycodone pills while searching his home on Lois Lane.
Giordano was charged with three counts of selling Oxycodone and a charge of conspiracy to the sale of a controlled drug. Each of the felony charges is punishable by three and a half to seven years in state prison.
He decided to plead guilty shortly before his trial was to begin Jan. 7.
His one-year sentence is for the three counts of selling a controlled drug. He received a suspended sentence of five to 10 years in state prison on the conspiracy charge.
Giordano resigned from the zoning board just three days after his arrest, which stunned Salem officials, even though he had a criminal record in Massachusetts.

Published on Brock University (http://brocku.ca)
Future Undergraduate Students
A Message from the Chair
To begin, let me introduce myself: my name is Dr. Neta Gordon, and I am the current Chair of the Department of English Language and Literature. I am delighted that you are considering application to one of our undergraduate programs and while I could describe details of what you might expect when you arrive, I'd like to relate a bit of my own undergraduate story first. I attended a relatively large Ontario university, one that I had heard about for years from parents and guidance counselors. No question, it was a great school, full of professors with remarkable research profiles and extremely capable students; the trouble was, I never talked to any of them. The culture of learning at the institution I attended did not encourage a sense of a scholarly community or (in my opinion) student empowerment.
Since arriving at Brock in 2002, I have been lucky enough to join, and now help foster, a culture of learning that is dynamic, constantly challenging, and enriching for both professor and student. The seminar system that distinguishes Brock, as well as the faculty's enthusiasm for bringing their distinctive research projects into the classroom and supporting student initiatives, produces a powerful sense of identity in our majors and gives each student confidence in his or her own developing abilities. This is the school I wish I went to, as our students get to be part of something real: a vibrant community of scholars, both expert and novice, who continue to learn from one another.
Brock's Department of English Language and Literature is, I think, extraordinary (and, in fact, our most recent external review stated that "Brock's Department of English is probably among the very best of those in the country that do not have doctoral programs"). We have 19 full-time faculty members, three of whom will be teaching the first-year classes in September. Dr. Tim Conley, who researches primarily in the field of international modernism, but who also writes fiction and is the author of The Encyclopedia of Fictional and Fantastic Languages, will be teaching ENGL 1F91- English Literature: Tradition and Innovation (affectionately known as "The Greatest Hits of English Lit"). ENGL 1F97 – Literature of Trauma and Recovery, will be taught by Dr. Susan Spearey, whose research expertise is contemporary South African literature. Finally, I am happy to be teaching ENGL 1F95 – Literature in English: Forms, Themes and Approaches for the second year in a row. My own research area is contemporary Canadian fiction and drama about World War One. Students who are interested in our English and Writing, Rhetoric and Discourse Studies program, may also take WRIT 1P96 – Introduction to Writing, Rhetoric and Professional Discourse with Dr. Robert Alexander, whose research area is print news and literary journalism. I encourage every incoming major to sign up for a Smart Start program so that you can discuss with a student advisor which course or courses suit your own interests (see http://www.brocku.ca/registrar/smart-start for more information).
For every wonderful faculty member in our department there are many, many exceptional students. To remark on just a few: Oksana, a founding member of Brock's Creative Writers Club, is graduating this year and has been accepted into an M.A. in Creative Writing at The University of New Brunswick; Tom, another member of the CWC, as well as the English Students Association, is currently pursuing his M.A. in English Literature here at Brock, focusing his research on the science fiction short story collection The Atrocity Exhibition by JG Ballard; Alison, who graduated last year from our English and Writing program, has worked as an intern with Quill & Quire Magazine and as a reporter for the Grimsby Lincoln News.
As you make your decision about university, please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions you might have.
Best wishes,
Dr. Neta Gordon

NEWNAN, Ga. (AP) - Teachers and students at a school in western Georgia have rallied around a 7-year-old girl who's still recovering in a hospital after being pulled from a well in her grandparents' back yard.
Brooks Elementary School Principal Julie Raschen told the Newnan Times-Herald on Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1esqW0x ) that Megan Winters "is a precious young lady full of spirit and spunk."
On Dec. 30, Winters fell into a well in Whitesburg and spent about an hour inside it before she was lifted to safety by Carroll County emergency crews.
Raschen says parents of Winters' classmates have come together to support the girl's family with gift cards to cover gas and food, and have made trips to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston to deliver gifts for the family.

Greensburg —
Decatur County 4 Kids (DC4K) will be sponsoring Indianapolis Police Department (IPD), Sgt. Terry Hall's Good-Touch-Bad-Touch program, which empowers children to know when an adult has touched them inappropriately, and to seek help.
Parents will be given the opportunity to see Terry Hall's program before he presents to Decatur County elementary schools, 7 p.m. Tuesday April 2, at Greensburg Elementary School (GES).
Hall is scheduled to appear at GES Wednesday, April 3; Carousel Day Care Thursday, April 4; St. Mary's Thursday, April 4; and North and South Decatur Elementary Friday, April 5.
Hall runs a nationwide body safety program dubbed "Good-Touch-Bad-Touch" for students kindergarten through fifth grade. He has worked seven years in the IPD Sex Offense Branch, and 30 years as an officer. Hall was assaulted as a child, and his work with children stems from that experience. Hall estimates that he has spoken to approximately 600,000 people over the course of many years.
Hall appeared Oct. 2012 in DC4K's conference Happy Kids, Happy Families, Happy Lives, where he discussed the realities of sexual abuse, and parents' obligation to educate their children of the threat of sexual predators. The sad reality is that the vast majority of abuse happens within the family.
Hall's program addresses a number of societal problems that keep children from reporting abuse, including that children are often accused of lying.
Hall poses the question to adults: How can kids lie about something they don't know about? Children aren't allowed to call their private parts by their real names, let alone say someone touched those parts.
When Hall meets with the children, he will use anatomically correct dolls to show where kids are not allowed to be touched.
Hall also emphasizes that kids must obey their parents and respect adults, but if a child is uncomfortable with certain touches the child has a right to tell an adult "no."
Hall will ask the kids "Who do your private parts belong to?" and if Hall's program goes well, the answer will be "Me!"

I'm stuck with tutorial chapter "18 Movie warp points". I create interest points, jump from one to another, etc. But nothing happens when I drag points in the warp point editor panel. The point moves but there's no time-warp effect on the clip.
Tutorial says:
"Once you've set one or more interesting points, you can use the Warp Point editor panel to apply a time-warp effect on the clip when it is playing back on a layer. By dragging warp points left and right, you can adjust the amount of time it takes to get from one interesting point to another, without changing the overall duration of the clip."
This feature would be really helpful.

The Texas Longhorns only signed five defensive players in the 2013 recruiting class. Find out what the 'Horns will be getting.
Last spring, the Longhorns were assembling a Dream Team. Then 20% of the class decommitted, including two five-star prospects, leaving some massive, and defining, holes in the class.
The latest on Torrodney Prevot's commitment to USC and what it means for Texas, Penn State kicker Anthony Fera, whether or not the Texas Lonhgorns will open up fall practice this year. And more.
So much for considering Texas. Oh yeah, and so much for being an Aggie lean. Time for the coaching staff to actually develop a coherent plan at defensive end.
2013 Lancaster defensive end Daeshon Hall has effectively been a soft verbal to Texas for some time and the news of his decommitment finally broke Thursday. Where does that leave the Longhorns at...
2013 Texas commit Durham Smythe is representing the USA at the World Championships in Austin. While in town, he spoke with Burnt Orange Nation about a variety of topics.
The Texas Longhorns could easily find themselves without a defensive end in the 2013 class. Should Texas get pro-active and offer 2013 Plano Prestonwood Christian defensive end/linebacker Mike...
So, the trips to Baylor and Texas A&M were major red flags for Lancaster defensive end commit Daeshon Hall, who is certainly best categorized as a soft pledge at this point, but there may be more. Scipio Tex was tipped off about some rumblings around the Pacific Northwest that the Hall family could be headed back in that direction, which could seriously open up his recruitment. Not time to panic, but time for continued serious concern, as defensive end recruiting in this class could quickly become a major issue.
All the latest on Texas recruiting in the 2013 class, including a possible visit by commit Daeshon Hall, the latest on Antwuan Davis, and more.
