341ml bottle, on a pleasant patio in downtown Kelowna, in advance of the Canada Day fireworks show. I remember this as being pretty good, way back before GIB's beers were yanked from Alberta liquor store shelves.
This beer appears a clear medium golden yellow hue, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy dirty white head, which leaves a few instances of volcanic erosion lace around the glass as things settle out.
It smells of mildly bready, but mostly grainy pale malt, soft hints of musty field honey, and earthy, floral hops. The taste is a semi-sweet, somewhat bready graininess, a hint of bland biscuit, a slight twinge of muddled honey sweetness, and fairly tame earthy, musty hops.
The carbonation is on the low side, but frothy all the same, the body a waning medium-light weight, and a bit too tacky in its smoothness. It finishes mostly clean and a bit off-dry, the lingering malt and loitering honey sweetness still perceptible.
Inoffensive, in that underwhelming Canadian honey lager pantheon way, and easy enough to drink, when hearts and minds are focused elsewhere - across the table, or perhaps down the street.

Bought at BC liquor store on Commercial Drive.
Very drinkable, but nothing complex. This beer is refreshing but bland with almost no aftertaste. Despite the name, I'm not really tasting any honey. I wouldn't buy it again (Whistler's Bear Paw Honey Lager is much better), but I'm having no problem getting through the six-pack I bought.

Poured aggressively, this beer is an orange gold colour with lots of bubbles. The off white head started large, but lasted less than a minute and ended up as a thin ring.
The smell is grainy and grassy with a dull sweetness overtop. I would say it is more of a malt sweetness than a honey one.
Honey sweetness subtley reveals itself first in the taste, followed by a maltier sweet taste that is reminiscent of the Island Lager. I find this lager to be better balanced as it actually has a bit of a grainy hop finish. Nothing fantastic, but above average in the taste department.
The mouthfeel seems almost identical to that of the Island Lager, not thin and not overly carbonated.
In the end I would say that this is better than a macro, but certainly not an outstanding lager. I don't think it would be hard to get macro drinkers into this beer though, so it may serve as a nice gateway beer.

Draft: Poured a golden/amber color lager with a medium size foamy head with OK retention. Aroma consists of light malt presence with light sweet notes form honey. Taste is also dominated by light caramel notes with sweet honey finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. This is almost closer to a Vienna then a straight lager but refreshing nonetheless with limited amount of complexity.

An average offering from the Granville Island Brewery, but at least they are consistent in offering average beers. It's a clear golden colour, decent white head upon pour, but it disappears quickly and leaves a minimal amount of lacing. Aroma is crisp, predominantly floral hops, and the smallest bit of sweet malt. This possesses a pretty good mouthfeel, it's very satisfying, but the flavour department isn't really home right now, it's crisp, but the taste seems to be muted. It's actually quite refreshing, just a tad bland.

Pours dark golden with light carbonation rising. Small white head that dissipates quickly.
Not much aroma coming out of this one.
Taste has honey, bread, sweetness, and apples.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and a little flat.
Overall, pretty nice and very drinkable. Low ABV makes it a good session beer.

Amber yellow appearance with a small amount of head that slowly settles down leaving some lacing. Smell consists of honey, grain and some malt, very light though and hard to pick up.
Taste consists of honey, bread, sweetness, some hops and malt. Very light overall, but refreshing. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Finish is a dry honey taste.
Overall, this is a simple honey lager. It's refreshing and inoffensive, but also lacks any outstanding features. If you want an easy six pack to drink, I'd recommend.

Had a friend of mine pick this up for me while she was out west and I've heard a lot about Granville Island but I'm a little underwhelmed. Its a very basic clean lager with a hint of honey sweetness in it. I would have liked it to have a little more bitter on the end. Taste a lot like other honeys lagers I've had in the past certainly on of the better ones but not all that impressed. I am looking forward to the Pale Ale that I also have. All in all decent don't think I would buy it for my self but wouldn't turn it down if it was free.

CAN you dig it? I went to BC, CANada to score this beer!
It began with a nice, solid finger's worth of bone-white head before reducing to mere wisps. The nose, however, was pure honey. It was leaning into a beehive and taking a deep breath, albeit without the angry, stinging bees. Very pleasant. The color was a slightly hazy golden (honey) color. The mouthfeel was medium with a great honey sweetness on the palate. The finish lingered with the honey taste that had been so prevalent throughout. Now for a couple of caveats re. my review and the marks. I am generally not a sweet (malty) beer fan, but this was a very different type of sweet, not cloying and very true to its origin. Also, I like honey as an alternative to sugar as a sweetener. I feel like I really blew it by not buying more of this one when I had the choice. Traders?

3.08/5 rDev -3.8%
A: Poured with a moderate-small, fizzy white head that dissipates to a thin film. Body is dark yellow, with good clarity.
S: Slightly sweet malt aroma, with hints of sulfur and DMS. After a bit of warming, something very unpleasant comes through that I can't put my finger on... it's a little similar to B.O., to be honest.
T: Just a hint of honey in the flavor, and barely that. Touch of DMS, with a medium malt sweetness. Kind of refreshing.
M: Light-medium bodied, with high carbonation.
D: I'm not a fan of the aroma, and it was turning me off quite a bit the more I drank. Otherwise, it's a good example of the style.

Work steps up on Chorley's war memorial
7:00am Sunday 14th October 2012 in News By Chris Gee, Reporter
Work is under way to add the names of all the fallen from the town to the war memorial in Astley Park.
The work, which is part of the Chorley Remembers project to improve the town's memorials, will see 741 names engraved on a new wall behind the Celtic Cross.
It will also see a general refurbishment of the area, close to the Park Road entrance, with the other memorial stones repositioned into more prominent locations.
The civic war memorial in Astley Park was first unveiled in 1924 and the idea of adding the names of the fallen has been around for some time.
The redevelopment has been made possible thanks to the many people who responded to the appeal for names of the fallen from conflicts ranging from the two World Wars through to Korea, Cyprus, Northern Ireland, the Falklands and Afghanistan.
Chairman and co-founder of the Chorley Remembers Project, Lindsay Hoyle MP, said: "We thought it was only right that all those who have given their lives in conflict are individually recognised on the memorial.
"A lot of work has gone into finding and researching all the names and it will be a fitting tribute for them and their families for years to come."
The work is due to be completed in early November in time for Remembrance Sunday.
It is part of the wider work of the Chorley Remembers project, which has already seen an upgrade of the Chorley Pals memorial site and will also include a permanent exhibition down at the Astley Hall complex and restoration of the memorial arch at the entrance to Astley Park.

Sharing expertise on ever-changing trends in all practice areas of immigration law
The BBA Statewide Task Force to Expand Civil Legal Aid in Massachusetts met for the fifth time at the end of January. We are making great progress as we gather facts, information, and real life stories of people whose lives have changed for the better because of assistance they received from legal aid attorneys.
The Task Force is composed of 27 leaders in the Boston legal community, including representatives from private practice, in-house counsel, academia, every branch of government, and legal services. The Task Force was formed in the spring of 2013 and has had regular meetings almost every other month.
In early meetings, Task Force members worked to draft surveys for legal services providers and judges to quantify facts and observations on civil litigation and aid. They devised three surveys and sent them out to the appropriate players. The Task Force created two legal services surveys – a "use of funds" and a "turn-away" survey. These surveys would show how many cases legal services providers completed in a year, how many people they turned away over two single-week periods, and how much legal assistance they provided short of representation. Results are still coming in, but the legal aid providers have been extremely supportive, helping us reach nearly 100% participation. Continue reading at Issue Spot.

Absolutely Beautiful I fell in love with this set after seeing it in the store. I looked at a lot of different sets after that but never found any that were quite as beautiful. Even though you can't get it personalized, the quality of the product is well worth it. It feels heavy and they are very polished. I can't wait to use it in October. June 28, 2011

(WMC-TV) – We're sending out a High 5 - to a group of Memphians who are making a difference in the lives of those who live on the streets.
They call themselves the Urban Bike Food Ministry (UBFM), and every Wednesday night they take to the streets of Memphis handing out food and supplies to anyone in need.
On Wednesday, one of the coldest nights so far this year, we followed along.
Rev. Tommy Clark with Cumberland Presbyterian is the founder of UBFM.
"I've been in the cycling community, more of a cycling advocate for several years and so I wanted to create something with my own unique touch," Clark explained. "One night I bought some stuff to make some burritos, I figured it'd be easy to make. And I ended up making like 15 burritos and I got on my bike and just started riding around town by myself and I found somebody that looked like they were in need I'd give them a burrito and say hey what's your name." Clark said.
"I ask if they had any concerns or prayers and just talked to them and tell them that hey look just to let you know I'm thinking about you. And I care about you. The response was great, some people gave me hugs, some high fives. Some people prayed with me. It was something I didn't expect." Clark said.
Clark's idea blossomed into a non-profit the serves the community of Memphis every Wednesday night. Instead of 15 burritos, they prepare as much as 300 and hand out clothes, blankets, water bottles and care packages. A small act that makes a difference in many people's lives.
"A lot of the guys around here be expecting them," said recipient Toni Whitfield. "It's so cold, anybody that's out here tonight, I just pray for them. They do a real good job," Whitfield added.
Clark says they are no fixing homelessness or offering any long term solution. Instead they focus on hospitality and love. Recognizing each person as a human being.
"We're gonna allow people to know that we care about them," said Clark.
The group meets every Wednesday night, rain or shine. If you would like to help, either to donate items or to deliver them, visit ubfm.org.

Our History
Multicultural Center: What Does It Mean?
In 1978, two undergraduate students attending Boston College approached Dr. Donald Brown, the Director of Minority Student Programs at Boston College, and expressed their concerns about being labeled as "minorities." These students argued that "minority" was an offensive and unacceptable term when applied to people of color. Dr. Brown developed the AHANA acronym to eliminate the negative connotations that are associated with the term "minority."
AHANA stands for African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Native American. As Dr. Brown states, "AHANA is not a degrading, inaccurate or stereotypical term. It is a term that is creative, unique and symbolic of pride. It was not developed to segregate its members from the remainder of the [University] community. It was developed to unite its members for the greater good of all, to inspire cultural awareness, and destroy the void among students of different racial backgrounds." Dr. Brown presented the acronym and the feelings of the students to the Board of Trustees. Like the student population at Boston College, the Board of Trustees warmly accepted the new term and encouraged its use.
In keeping with the changing trend, The University of Maine began successfully experimenting with this acronym a few years ago. At UMaine the term AHANA has been altered to Multicultural Center. All aspects of the term remain the same with the exception of the change from Hispanic to Latino/a thus replacing the "H" with an "L" in the acronym. This change resulted from the fact that many people consider themselves Latino/a rather than Hispanic.
Currently, there are more than 30 colleges and universities using some form of the acronym on their campus. At UMaine, we continue to test the acronym for its uses and purposes on our campus.
"When you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone." – Coretta Scott King (1927-2006)
By providing quality services and programs, from personal, to academic, to social, cultural and ethnic, we are committed to ensuring that your educational experience at the university will be a positive and productive one. I encourage students to make the time to connect with and take pride in the programs and services designed to encourage, support and empower students of color to succeed.

Undergraduate Majors
Elementary Education
Early Childhood , Birth-Grade 3 Option, Clinical Pathways, Bachelor of Science in Education Degree
Candidates pursuing a bachelor of science degree with a major in elementary education have three options:
- elementary education in grades 1-6 option, which leads to certification to teach elementary education in grades one through six
- early childhood option, which leads to certification to teach early childhood and elementary education in prekindergarten through grade three
- dual certification elementary and early childhood option, which leads to certification to teach children from birth through grade six.
Early childhood education majors study a core of education and liberal arts classes. Combined with a professional education semester that includes 16 weeks of student teaching at two different age levels, this curriculum prepares candidates upon graduation to be highly qualified preschool or primary elementary school classroom teachers.
According to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, UCM is "one of the premier teacher education institutions in the state," and has a reputation for preparing some of the finest teachers in the classroom today. Full accreditation by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), as well as national recognition by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI) provides further verification of high quality. UCM's programs meet all Missouri certification requirements at the undergraduate level.
Central Missouri's teacher education program prepares teachers to be competent, caring, reflective practitioners committed to the premise that all can learn. Graduates are well grounded in general, major, and professional knowledge and skills that are guided by performance standards and assessments, including development of reflective decisionmaking skills. Program expectations have been derived from consultation with practitioners and review of recommendations of appropriate professional groups.
Clinical Experiences
Pre-service teachers complete a series of scaffolded field experiences in the sophomore, junior, and senior years. The senior year professional development school experience is co-designed and taught by school practitioners and university faculty. The culminating experience is the student-teaching semester.
International Opportunities
Students in the Department of Elementary and Early Childhood Education may choose to participate in international study experiences offered by the Office of International Programs. Short-term study tours abroad may also offer an excellent introduction to education in other countries.
About the Faculty
Department faculty members all have public school or early childhood teaching experience and are qualified teachers who engage regularly in a variety of professional development opportunities and work closely with and in our public partner schools.

When President Barack Obama signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act into law this past week, he extended a tax cut to help people adopt children. It's called the adoption tax credit, and the law extended it permanently to help people start and add to their families.
Mike and Sara Wiedemann had a full house Tuesday morning, as US Congressman Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) came to tout the permanent extension of the adoption tax credit, which otherwise would have expired at the end of 2012.
It's an approximately $12,000 credit that allowed the Wiedemanns to adopt 21-month-old Nicholas from South Korea.
"Foreign adoptions can have a lot of expenses, not just because of the normal adoption process but because of travel costs, and sometimes there can be multiple trips overseas before that child can be brought home," Braley said. "That's why this is such an important incentive for parents considering adoption."
Two years after their wedding, the Wiedemanns tried having a baby but found they couldn't.
"We did some things, but we knew that adoption was kind of one of the things we both were open to and excited about," Sara Wiedemann said.
Fertility specialists are expensive and so is adoption.
"A lot of families that start this process, they've already been through infertility, which is a very expensive process as well, and it's usually not covered by insurance," Mike Wiedemann said. "Most insurance companies don't cover a lot of the infertility treatments."
The tax credit helped defray the $30,000-to-$35,000 adoption process is took to bring Nicholas home.
"The tax credit is allowing us to help pay back some of the loans we had to take out, because it is very expensive up front," Mike Wiedemann said. "It also is allowing us to put savings accounts for Nic to go to college, so it's allowing us to move forward and possibly add to our family, too."
"The first time he said, 'Mama,' that pulled at my heartstrings," Sara Wiedemann said.
With as much fun as the new parents are having getting to know their son - and even after all the loans and the waiting - the Wiedemanns say they'd do it again.
"It definitely leaves the door open that we certainly could do it again," Mike Wiedemann said.
That's especially true with the permanent extension of the adoption tax credit.
"Hopefully [it] will serve as motivation for other parents to take the risk of becoming adoptive parents," Braley said. "I think that if [taxpayers] see loving families like this, who are doing something important and giving a child a loving home, they'll see that that's a powerful use of tax credits to reward people who take that risk and do the right thing and give a child a loving home. That's good tax policy."
He said the credit is available to taxpaying US citizens and indexed for inflation, according to the law.
Braley said the federal adoption tax credit applies to international and domestic adoptions. He said the credit ultimately helps taxpayers, who - as of 2010 - shoulder an average of $47,000 annually for every child in foster care.

Curry (1-2) at Walker (2-1)
WJLX 101.5 FM and WJBE 88.5 FM, 7 p.m.
Both the Vikings and the Yellow Jackets come into tonight's game following different paths. The Vikings, who were routed in their season-opening match with Cullman, have reeled off two consecutive wins over Moody and Pinson Valley to bring a spotless 2-0 record in Region 6 play into the contest.
The Yellow Jackets, who blew out Carbon Hill to start the year, have lost their last two games to Center Point and Mortimer Jordan. The most interesting battle to look for will be Curry's offense — which has struggled to produce points in their two losses — against the re-emergent Walker defense that has forced eight turnovers in their two victories.
The Vikings hold a 28-3 series edge over the Yellow Jackets, including a 15-game winning streak. The game will be broadcast on both WJLX 101.5 FM and WJBE 88.5 FM.
West Blocton (0-3) at Dora (3-0)
Opponents have found no effective way of stopping Dora's rushing attack this season, with the Bulldogs steamrolling their competition for an average of 375 yards per game. Area rushing leader Kai Thomas could have another big night against a West Blocton defense that is giving up an average of 32 points a game, including last week's 55-0 shutout by Calera. It will be the first meeting between the teams since 1955.
Carbon Hill (0-3) at Oak Grove (0-3)
The good news coming into the Bulldogs-Tigers matchup is that one of the teams will grab their first win of the year...with the bad news being that the loser will be 0-4 on the season. Oak Grove has been outscored 33-112 in losses to Haleyville, Jemison and Bibb County, while Carbon Hill has been outscored 28-175 in losses to Curry, Bibb County and Jemison. It will be the first meeting for both programs.
Calera (2-1) at Corner (1-2)
The Corner defense will be a challenge tonight against a high-powered Calera offense that torched West Blocton 55-0 last week — the same Tiger team that the Yellow Jackets narrowly edged 19-14 in week two. The Region 4 meeting will be the first for the two teams.
No. 2 LSU (3-0) at Auburn (1-2)
Auburn broke into the win column for the first time in 2012 following last week's 31-28 overtime win over ULM. Nevertheless, there's plenty of discontent in and around the Plains concerning play on both the offense and defense — which rank at the bottom tier in nearly every statistical category. It'll be a tough task to get things going against LSU, who comes into their SEC season opener with the No. 4 ranked defense in the country and the No. 9 scoring offense.
FAU (1-2) at No. 1 Alabama (3-0)
It's interesting that FAU, who was torched by the Georgia offense last week for 714 yards, fired a verbal shot to kick off this week by lamenting on the speed of Alabama and how the Owls have the ability to overtake the Crimson Tide. For a quick run-down, FAU currently ranks 105th in total defense, spotting their opponents 469 yards per game. And as irony would have it, the Owls are also 105th in total offense, too, with their only win of the season coming against a winless FCS team, Wagner, 7-3.

No on E - Simple Economics - What's the ROI on a $392 tax?
Original post made by Jill on Apr 21, 2011
Home values are based in part on the value buyers place on the community - whether the community that they're buying into serves to be beneficial or detrimental to their investment. I believe that if Measure E passes, the Pleasanton community will be seen by potential home buyers as a community that is just acepting bad financial judgement by the local government, and expect even higher taxes in the future.
Let's put some numbers around this. The parcel tax is $98 per year for four years, for a total tax of $392, and a total city tax of $8 million. At the same time district personnel will receive automatic raises of $15 million. So the $392 will not even cover the raises and we will dig our whole deeper with the existing financial policies. We will have to lay off all new and energenic teachers. Potential home buyers in the community know that the parcel tax will not even cover the raises so the district will be back real soon with an even higher tax, just to pay the raises; with no new programs added. These potential home buyers in the community know the existing community supports additional taxes, no matter if the data shows the tax will not save the programs. They figure that when there is a higher tax request from the district in a couple of years, that will be approved by the same people. Some sombody purchasing a home after Measure E passes knows that their taxes will keep increasing in Pleasanton, even if just there to pay for raises of district personnel.
Accordingly, I have voted No on E and encourage all of you in the community to do the same.
There are other problems with Measure E that are being debated elsewhere. In my opinion they alone are well worth a No vote.

There are many factors that help to mold excellent school districts and educated residents that value education are a part of that mix, as are good teachers. I'm not bashing teachers. I'm calling out the district offices and the teachers union for the damage they are attempting to do to the school districts finances. Their argument is that people don't want to support education but, when math is applied, their logic, reasoning, and numbers fall flat.
This is really a math problem. The quality of education that Pleasanton residents have come to expect, for their children, will be severely impacted if the district and unions continue on this path of budgetary destruction. You can't continue to significantly increase cost beyond revenue without having it impact education. This isn't a new theory, and I can't sit idly buy and watch it happen! The unions math is 1+1= Much More. It is past time that budgets are respected - as opposed to something that needs a "work-around" solution, and our district is forthcoming with fully disclosed budget projections that include the soon to be overwhelming pension obligations.
The math doesn't work in regards to what the PUSD is proposing. The parcel tax only compounds the problem.

Jill, it's said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and for your post, I thank you and appreciate the compliment.
(For those readers left wondering at this point, refer to the timestamps of my original post and Jill's rebuttal.)
The fundamental issue I raised still stands. From a homeowner's point of view, do you believe that the four-year parcel tax of $392 is a good investment?
As I stated earlier, yes, I believe it's a good investment and therefore voted Yes on Measure E, and encourage all to do the same.
on Apr 21, 2011 at 6:54 pm
"The fundamental issue I raised still stands. From a homeowner's point of view, do you believe that the four-year parcel tax of $392 is a good investment?"
No, I don't. How does creating a structural deficit benefit education/homeowner equity? This discussion should really be about the long term value of education. If your Only concern is your homeowner equity...maybe you are posting under the wrong topic?

Jill said: "I believe that if Measure E passes, the Pleasanton community will be seen by potential home buyers as a community that is just acepting bad financial judgement by the local government, and expect even higher taxes in the future."
LOL! Jill, this is what I call "wishful thinking" or perhaps better "bending the facts to support your own conclusion." Take it from someone who recently bought a house in Pleasanton: School quality and the perception of how strongly a community supports its schools is of PARAMOUNT importance to the calculations of a prospective homebuyer. If Measure E passes, homebuyers will take that as a strong statement of school support from the community. If Measure E fails to pass, then homebuyers will perceive that to mean that this community doesn't strongly support it's schools. "Unfair characterization", you say? "Untrue perception", you say? Doesn't matter. As the old saying goes, "Perception is Reality". If homebuyers perceive that our community doesn't support it's schools, they'll go shopping for a home elsewhere. They'll head for Danville or San Ramon or some other community where they perceive the schools to be better. Watch your property value plummet as a consequence.

Did your realtor show you that the last parcel tax failed? Or did your realtor show the school districts state ranking?
I wish people would consider the long-term implications of creating a structural deficit, and how that impacts education going forward. There are a host of cities that have used the same arguments about property values that are currently in serious financial trouble. The conversation should really be about the fiscal health of the school system. If we can focus on that first, put the horse before the cart, the other things will take care of themselves. Creating a structural deficit that will only lead to future cuts from the PUSD budget will only hurt what you claim you're trying to preserve.
Nothing funny about that!

When I moved here the broker told me that the schools were good. I did not request or receive any stats to support it, nor did I request or receive any data on Pleasanton voting history in regards to education.
on Apr 21, 2011 at 10:07 pm
When I moved here 32 years ago the brokers showed me the test scores of the students on the standardized state tests. They were meritorious. That was before there was a PUSD and instead Pleasanton was part of the Amador Valley Joint School District, which was shared with Dublin. Foothill High was still a work-in-progress, there was 1 fewer middle school and there were 3 fewer elementary schools, the population of Pleasanton was about half, and there was little in the way of high end housing (no Ruby Hills, no Vintage Hills, no high end communities off of Foothill Road with names beginning with Golden, Hopyard was still a two lane road, etc.) Yes, Pleasanton was much more middle class. And the schools excelled without having huge sums of money thrown at teacher salaries and benefits and the infrastructure. Maybe who the students and their parents are were more responsible for the quality shown on the test scores.
The message here is that realistically nobody checks the finances of the school district as part of their decision process to move here. They check historical performance. And that performance was rated highly before Pleasanton became a unified school district where 44% of the teachers make $89K or more, and the budget became the sole measure of student quality and performance.

"No, I don't. How does creating a structural deficit benefit education/homeowner equity?"
Measure E doesn't create a "structural deficit". Talk about distorting the truth. Measure E reduces any structural deficit. It doesn't set district policy. It raises money. Any "structural deficit" will be worse without Measure E. Stop distorting the truth.
Yes on Measure E.
on Apr 21, 2011 at 10:55 pm
The median price of a single-family home in Pleasanton is about $665,000 (median meaning half the houses are priced below that and half above). Pleasanton is the richest town of its size in the United States, with a higher per capita income than Beverly Hills or Palo Alto.
If an annual tax of $98 a year discourages people who can afford a $600,000, $800,000, or $1 million home from buying, then they've got rocks in their heads.
Jill's argument is ludicrous, really.
on Apr 21, 2011 at 11:26 pm
I agree with Yet Another Teacher. Anyone who would buy or not buy that truly expensive home in Pleasanton because a $98 dollar per year parcel tax was NOT passed or passed would truly have rocks in their head.
Schools are measured on the historical performance of the students, not whether parcel taxes were passed or not. The outcome of student performance is not simply predicted by $98 per year per parcel, as Yes on Measure E folks would have you believe.
on Apr 21, 2011 at 11:43 pm
"Measure E doesn't create a "structural deficit". Talk about distorting the truth. Measure E reduces any structural deficit."
Measure E is the enabler. Do you understand the mechanics of a structural deficit? If you are basing your decision on "Measure E reduces any structural deficit" then you will be very disappointed.
I don't agree with you but it's your vote. If that's what you beleive then you should vote yes on E.
on Apr 21, 2011 at 11:43 pm
Why a parcel tax?, how about a per-student-enrolled in school tax? Would people be so quick to jump on that?
This seems like an indiscriminate way to push the tax through, very uniform whether I'm on a 250k parcel or a 2.5M parcel. Whether I have 0 kids in school or 5.
I'd prefer to see a % tax based on parcel value, or even better a per-student-enrolled fee. Either of those makes more sense to me than a flat tax.

Soda tax would raise $1.7 billion, buoying school districts, study says
Buy a Coke. Save a classroom.
A study released Thursday estimates that a 1-cent-per-ounce tax on sugary sodas and other sweetened drinks would return $233 per student to California classrooms and fund childhood obesity prevention initiatives.
"The science linking sugary drinks to the obesity epidemic is rock solid," said study author Harold Goldstein, with the California Center for Public Health Advocacy, who is a leading proponent behind the largely successful removal of junk food and sodas from school vending machines and cafeterias. "It's time to make sure that the cost of these beverages includes the social cost of the harm they are doing."
The study is based on AB 669 by Assemblyman Bill Monning, D-Carmel, which would raise $1.7 billion statewide every year and send 85 percent of that to schools and local agencies and 15 percent to state-run anti-obesity programs.
At a penny an ounce, Californians would need to buy the equivalent of 14 billion 12-ounce cans of soda, an average of a little more than a can a day for every man, woman and child in the state.
If adopted, the tax would raise an estimated $39 million for Contra Costa County alone and and millions of dollars in other Bay Area counties, according to the center's analysis.
The money would help fill the gap left by school cuts and help teach children healthful eating and lifestyle habits through education and sports programs, say soda tax proponents.
"Soda has become the new tobacco," said Supervisor John Gioia, of Richmond. "It took us a while to get to the point where we linked the negative health implications of tobacco on public health, and we know that the taxes on cigarettes are working to reduce smoking."
A soda tax -- applied to all beverages with added sugar and fructose corn syrup -- has been debated for years.
The Obama administration floated it as part of its federal health care reform package, but the concept collapsed under heavy industry lobbying.
Now, in an era of serious government deficits around the country, a growing number of states and cities are taking a closer look at a soda tax, including California, Texas, Vermont, Philadelphia and Seattle.
...It's a bad idea, countered said Jon Coupal, with the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
Soda drinkers vastly outnumber smokers, a dwindling population whose ostracized members are accustomed to paying cigarette taxes, he said.
"It's the stupidest thing to come down the pike," Coupal said. "Why are we singling out this form of carbohydrate for taxation? What's next? A bread tax? A pizza tax? At the end of the day, this effort is a combination of bad fiscal policy with nannyism in government."
Classroom dollars and soda consumption have no ties, said Contra Costa Taxpayers Association Executive Director Kris Hunt. Web Link
More good work from the CTA and Bill Monning, D-Carmel. When is enough, enough?

"Do you understand the mechanics of a structural deficit?"
Yes, I understand thoroughly. Do you? The deficit was there to start with. Measure E mitigates it, diminishes it, makes it smaller. Failing to pass Measure E causes a larger deficit.
on Apr 22, 2011 at 8:41 am
Measure E mitigates a structural deficit as much as a bottle of water helps put out a house fire.

I just bought a home here and they told me all about the last parcel tax and that there was a new one coming up. When I learned it was roughly $400 over 4 years and it could help the school I figure it was a no brainer. I guess there are more people here with no brains than I thought. This is .27 cents per day.
Some people said this is not going to cover the cost of raises ..so I guess we just do nothing then . Right? How does that make sense? So I get it, let's not pay and have them in even more trouble than they are in right now. Different scenario for you, you kid needs an operation and people have donated half of the cost. Do you send the money back because it does not cover it? No you pay the money and keep trying to get the rest.
.27 cents a day!!! You no on E people kill me! How much are you spending on you coffee, hair, manicures/ pedicures, oversized trucks? This is a small contribution for your schools. And the pay off is there, in your kid, your neighbors kid, property values (even if minimal) and in just being a good neighbor.
Yes on E!

"so I guess we just do nothing then"
Voters invested individual school board members with representative power to negotiate for the public's common good. If they end up doing nothing, if they can't control labor costs and can't provide oversight for how public money is being spent, then they are ineffective and should be voted out.
The parent didn't set up the scenario which caused the child to need an operation. The school board sets up the scenario in which raises are needed.
on Apr 22, 2011 at 9:33 am
Regardless, we still do nothing? Fine vote them out. I dont care. we still have to fix or at least try to fix the problem. Just voting everything down helps noone!
The parent may not have set it up but they still have to deal with it, Right? So do we!
on Apr 22, 2011 at 9:40 am
" if they can't control labor costs and can't provide oversight for how public money is being spent, then they are ineffective and should be voted out."
But they can control labor costs and they are not ineffective. Remember in was the recession and Sacramento that caused the shortfall, not PUSD.
Yes on Measure E.

Sure, it's Sacramento's byzantine education financing structure plus categoricals and mandates, over-reliance on a very progressive income tax code, and the recession. But also remember, it wasn't Sacramento that removed the policy to have large reserves, spend one-time money on ongoing operational costs, treat the Sycamore Fund like an ATM, nor negotiate the contracts. The recession just provided exposure.

It was our district and school boards that have kept a parcel tax away from this community for years finding alternative ways to fund the schools with less money coming from the state to pay for even the minimum program. Prop 98 guaranteed funding has not been met for years and individual districts have had to pay for it themselves- with all surrounding districts voting in parcel taxes to do so. Not one of them have changed the structure of how teachers are paid or frozen salary schedules.
Our administration and board has avoided this, our teachers have taken significant pay cuts to pay for this, and now it is a negative? To me, this is commendable considering what every district in this state has had to do because of Sacramento's lack of funding. Our tax dollars are not coming back to fund our schools- that is the problem. Can't wait to hear more this May- as the revised budget is shared- how much cutting from the state will it take for residents here to see where the issue is coming from?
on Apr 22, 2011 at 1:29 pm
I voted Yes on E and would encourage everyone to do the same.
on Apr 22, 2011 at 2:09 pm
Since this is a PROPERTY TAX & not merely an assessment of all Pleasanton residents wouldn't it also be fair that only property owners should be able to vote on it?
Logic would only conclude that if I'm renting a house, condo or apartment I'm voting a big HELL YES on this since it does not affect me in any way at all.
...Just saying.
on Apr 22, 2011 at 2:24 pm
"Since this is a PROPERTY TAX & not merely an assessment of all Pleasanton residents wouldn't it also be fair that only property owners should be able to vote on it?"
Um, no, because if the only people that were allowed to vote on it were people who actually paid for it there's no way it could pass!
on Apr 22, 2011 at 2:29 pm
"It was our district and school boards that have kept a parcel tax away from this community for years "
We do not need an additional funding source because we receive a lot more money from the state and the fed than other district. For example, from the State, we receive over $500 more per student than San Ramon.
And if you search on the Internet, you will see other district that are freezing Step and Column.

In Davis they have a parcel tax on the ballot that would levy $20 per unit in apartments.

We have been so pleased with the schools since we moved to Pleasanton. My daughter is getting a wonderful education.
Yes on Measure E!
on Apr 22, 2011 at 3:38 pm
While difficult to assess, a ROI mind set seems reasonable. However, people looking to buy a home in Pleasanton will look at test scores, not whether or not the latest school tax measure was approved by voters. If schools are very crowded (not likely under any of the scenarios in Pleasanton) that is also important. Next is crime statistics. So, now the question is whether the extra tax will improve test scores and reduce crime, or the reverse. In my opinion, reasonable arguments can be made either way. My choice is to vote NO on Measure E. I respect others who come to a different conclusion.
on Apr 22, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Anyone who votes no and is a homeowner in Pleasanton is brainless. I too am frustrated with the state and our school district. There are several people in the district that can be cut to save hundreds of thousands every year, specifically Myla Grasso. Our once a week newsletters and filling in different departments as needed isnt worth paying her over 100k a year! I know it won't solve the problem, but it would help... People desire to live in Pleasanton because of it's school system. If $98 a year helps to save our home prices, we should all vote yes!
on Apr 22, 2011 at 9:36 pm
concerned- San Ramon has a parcel tax, parents are also expected to pay over $300 per child per year for the learning fund, San Ramon has not frozen their S&C.
Money from the State is not coming back to our community to fund the students education. The price per pupil you quoted is no longer accurate - it is now significantly less as a matter of fact, and potentially more will be cut after the budget revise in May.

Dick Vitale seems to be in heaven at Murray State. The fans in the arena have embraced him in a big way and he's been walking around with a smile all evening long. There were Vitale faces in the crowd, as well as signs welcoming him to the arena.
But the best part, easily, was Vitale's moment with the cheerleaders. During a commercial break, ESPN cameras caught Vitale getting down with his bad self as he danced along with the Murray State cheerleading squad on the court. It was so Vitale, and it was so awesome.
And the aforementioned Dickie V head, which was accompanied by a Gary Busey head. Frightening and amazing all at the same time.
With the Racers whipping St. Mary's, Vitale's antics may just be the best part of the whole game. If Dickie V could dance with cheerleaders on courts across the country every day, the world would just be a better place.

Topic: Freeland and Forme at last Bedrock
Did anyone here go to the last Bedrock? I heard that Adam Freeland, Evil 9 and Forme were all playing - that's an awesome breaks line-up! I just want to know if they did all play and if they rocked as much as I'd expect them to.
Especially - how was Forme? Not heard him DJ live before, but would very much like to.

Inflation hits in unexpected places every day, or in this case, night. Yes, it has even hit the Tooth Fairy. Apparently, the prices of baby teeth have gone up quite a bit over the years.
We went to the expert on this one: the dentist.
It seems most dentists must have some kind of inside knowledge of the Tooth Fairy, but which one would have the best connection?
It quickly became obvious: Dentistry For Children. They may have actually spoken with her.
Teresa Chrietzberg is a registered dental hygienist who has experienced the Tooth Fairy as a child, as a mother, and as someone on the inside.
"I think that as inflation goes up, everybody needs a raise. Things are costing more these days, so the Tooth Fairy has to pull up the slack on that," Teresa said.
A recent survey says the national average on baby teeth has increased by 23% in the last year. It went from $3.00 to $3.70.
Some were quick to say how much they were paid.
"I got a dollar," said Nancy Mendez, a Registered Dental Assistant.
"The Tooth Fairy gave me a dollar per tooth," offered Haleigh Bowdin, another Registered Dental Assistant.
In some regions, the Tooth Fairy has reportedly left $10, and occasionally $50.
"Inflation must be really high in those areas. I think maybe California where the cost of living's much higher, that would justify a little bit more," Teresa speculated.
What's the rate locally?
"The Tooth Fairy brought her $3 and a sticker," revealed Nancy.
"About a dollar a tooth," said Haleigh.
"They're worth more if they're cavity free," added Nancy.
What about investing in the Tooth Fairy Stock?
"She seems to give away a lot more money than she brings in, so I don't know about investing in a company that gives money away," Teresa pointed out.
Obviously, they do have an inside track with the Tooth Fairy.
"Do you have the Tooth Fairy's contact information?" I asked Teresa.
"I do. She has a special ring tone on my phone," she replied.
"Can I get that information?" I asked.
"Nope. You don't have clearance for that," she stated.
Dentistry for Children's Dr. Culberson Boren was out of the office at a meeting, but he says he believes baby teeth bring in more because kids are taking better care of their teeth these days.
