This video looks like it was taken in Caulfield, Melbourne. The Dojo was behind the shopping strip, and was run by a Judo school who rented out mat times to our Aikido group and other martial arts groups.I believe the Dojo wooden floor was sprung with old tram springs underneath to give a bit of bounce when you were thrown to the floor. Great memories.

I bought this trail camera on sale and at a great price.
Set up was a breeze. While the manual was not the greatest detail, once you power the camera on, the menu was easy to follow.
I used this camera with 12 mp pics and each was very clear. The exception to this was at night with IR and at very close range. At these times, the picture was washed out. You may be able to correct this, I have not tried as of yet.
The pictures are viewable either in the field, or downloads to your PC/MAC. On connecting the camera to my MAC, they imported into iPhoto just like any other camera. Very easy.

I have had this camera for 2weeks and so far no problems. Great pictures and awesome videos, I love the fact it has audio when in video mode and the picture and video mode combined. I also like the security mode it has as well. The pictures are very clear and simply amazing for a trail camera. I would highly recommend this camera.

The price of this camera is great. The camera takes beautiful pictures. Would definitely recommend.

After hearing all of the good things about Covert cameras, I decided to purchase a couple of them. Wow, am I impressed. The ease of setting up and the wonderful pictures are amazing. I love the fact that you can sort thru the pictures in the field. Haven't been in the woods long so not sure about battery life. Hope all of the claims are true. In the future, I will only be using Covert cameras. Trying to save for a Special Ops right now.
Posted by Dee on 25th Oct 2012
I have had my Red 40 for about 1 1/2 weeks. It was extremely easy to set up and program. It takes good pics with a few disappointments. At the time between dusk and dark it will take almost white out pictures. It also does not take good pictures if there is much movement, they come out blurry. Or if the animal is very close to the camera sometimes they will be completely bright white( at night). I have only had two day time pics and of the two animals in the pic, one was clear one with a slight blur, but the color was good. The pictures that are taken about twelve feet from the camera are very good of amimals the size of deer but smaller animals are mot very clear sometimes you have to take an educated guess about what it is.
I have the camera set at normal sensitivity and that seems to work really well. It seems to be picking up motion early on but I have a lot of pictures with animals directly in the center.
The viewing screen is very small so I take the sd card to the computer everyday to look at the pictures, but you can see horns if that is your objective.
I purchased this specific camera after a lot of research. I was looking for a camera that would produce really great quality photos. They are overall not as good as I personally had hoped. But, of you are looking for a camera just to capture images to track the coming and going of deer at your feeder or food plot it will work fine. It does have moon phase , date and times stamps on each picture although I can not read it on the view screen in the field.
I have the camera set to take two pics at a time and it takes them so fast that most of the time they look identical which makes me wander why there is blur on pictures where the animal is moving.
For the most part I am happy with this camera. It is my first game camera and I would purchase it again. Oh, I should mention that there is not a single picture that shows any animals being startled by the infrared flash, it has captured deer, raccoon, armadillo, fox, rabbit, opposum, skunk and a pig and nothing seems to notice the camera at all. And it produces absolutely NO sound, which I suspect noise has more to do with most animals being startled by other cameras over the flash.
I have not used the time lapse option intentionally but did have it set the first night and had 800 pictures I didn't need but the option worked perfectly.

Toronto Police Service Board rejects use of private constables at island airport
Toronto Port Authority says a Toronto police proposal to guard Billy Bishop Airport's U.S. customs area is too expensive.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The Toronto Police Services Board has rejected a proposal by the Toronto Port Authority to use private armed constables at the island airport.
Citing the "enhanced liability" and "risk inherent" in letting private armed security guards look after the airport, the board told port authority executives they'll have to work out an agreement with Toronto police and report back on negotiations in June.
The port wants travellers at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to have the convenience of clearing U.S. customs before they board a plane, but U.S. regulations require that the area be staffed full-time with armed officers to protect customs officials.
At issue is money.
The Toronto police marine unit estimates the cost of staffing the airport with 16 Toronto police constables and six sergeants at $2.9 million, port chairman Mark McQueen wrote in a letter to the board. A further $1 million would be needed to build offices.
The private-sector proposal recommends only seven full-time equivalent officers and two supervisors, at a cost of less than $800,000.
"As every incremental airport operating cost is eventually paid by passengers in the form of additional fees (neither the TPA nor the BBTCA receive any Federal operating funding or financial backstop), we have been meticulous in the analysis of the financial impact of the choices before us," writes McQueen.
Police Chief Bill Blair told the board he was unaware of the marine unit's staffing proposal and that he hadn't been consulted.
Whether the Toronto force can provide the policing as cost-effectively as the private armed special constables is yet to be seen.
"I think we ought to let this process continue and then we can talk about it," port president and CEO Geoffrey Wilson said at the board meeting.
Another issue is that for 60 years the port authority's predecessor had its own armed police force — the Toronto Harbour Police and the Port of Toronto Police — which secured the water and the port lands. They merged with the Metro police force in the early '80s, with the understanding that from then on the port would be provided with security — including the airport site — for free, writes McQueen.
The city solicitor dug out the old agreement so that it could be factored in during future negotiations.
The airport is the nation's ninth busiest and is expected to attract more than two million passengers this year.
"As you may know, the (Toronto Port Authority) could legally engage private sector armed guards if it ran a jewelry store, rather than an airport," McQueen wrote. "The Statutes do not, however, allow entities like the TPA to hire armed private protection for travelers in an international airport."
He goes on to say that the United States will withhold final approval without the armed officers, even if the area itself is approved for a U.S. customs facility.
At Pearson International Airport, Peel Region police secure the U.S. customs areas in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, with the cost borne by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. An authority spokesperson said Pearson doesn't get any federal money for operating costs.
Blair originally recommended the board turn down the request in January, but the decision was delayed to give police board chair Alok Mukherjee time to consult the province.
In response, both Madeleine Meilleur, the minister of community safety and corrections, and Daniel Hefkey, commissioner of community safety, said they preferred the Pearson model. They also noted that "special constables can't perform the usual duties of a police officer on a permanent basis," according to the Police Services Act.
In Ontario, only the Niagara Parks Police Service has armed special constables, a throwback to the time when the service policed the border.
McQueen notes they are armed and have the same training and authority as a local municipal officer.
"In the TPA's case, we are looking to further secure Canada's 9th busiest airport, which is just steps from Canada's financial core," he writes. "No different than the mandate of the NPPS, in a way, but for the higher risk of terrorism."

Potential Cost savings of $60 Billion for Enterprise Customers of Managed Mobility Services Enabled by Small Cells Systems
San Jose, California, February 6, 2013 SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc., a leading provider of scalable small cell Enterprise Radio Access Network (E-RAN) systems to mobile operators, today announced the results of a research study by Exact Ventures that demonstrate a $100 billion emerging market opportunity for mobile operators in providing mobility services for enterprise customers. The research shows that enterprises can save 35% a year by adopting such operator-delivered managed and hosted services.
SpiderCloud worked with Exact Ventures, an analyst firm focused on technology market intelligence, to undertake a detailed market analysis of the managed mobility services opportunity for enterprise businesses of 100 to 4999 employees in the United States and European Union. The resulting report, "Enterprise Mobility Services: Market Opportunity for Mobile Service Providers", uncovers a $100 billion market opportunity for mobile operators in Enterprise Mobility Services, driven by key trends in computing and telecommunications: mobility and the accompanying need for Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies and control; cloud computing; and the emergence of enterprise small cell systems that enable telecommunications services beyond coverage and capacity.
The report looks at how mobile operators can leverage the mobile ecosystem and small cell systems to enable in-building coverage, capacity and services. The findings show that enterprise customers can save over $160 billion in capital expenditure (CapEx) by adopting operator-delivered hosted and managed services for mobility, unified communications (UC), secure access to applications, device management and integration of cloud and telephony (PBX), as well as new context-aware and location-based services. According to the research by Exact Ventures, moving to enterprise mobility services provided by a mobile operator would save an enterprise the equivalent of $264 per user annually - 35% net saving compared to an equivalent CapEx investment.
"The business market is vital for Mobile Network Operators (MNO) and with enterprise IT teams under constant pressure to do more with smaller budgets and fewer resources, the opportunity for trusted mobility services is tremendous," said Greg Collins, principal analyst at Exact Ventures. "Until now, there has been little reason for enterprise customers to have a relationship with MNOs beyond minutes and mobile devices. Small Cell systems that go beyond coverage and capacity can open up new business models for MNOs while also helping enterprise customers save significantly on CapEx and OpEx," he continued.
"The analysis highlights the 2014 and beyond capital expenditures and resources savings that can be realized by enterprises that outsource in-building mobile services to their MNO, transitioning to a per-user/month operating expenditure model," Ronny Haraldsvik, CMO, SpiderCloud commented. "But first, MNOs must solve the in-building coverage and capacity problem that exist for enterprises and prove that the mobile ecosystem can deliver cloud and application services with an in-building system," he added.
The market analysis highlights a number of opportunities for mobility services operators can offer, including:
Hosted Unified Communications
Unified Communications (UC) refers to a set of real-time communications services such as instant messaging, presence information, telephony and video conferencing, as well as non-real-time communication services like e-mail, SMS, voicemail and fax. UC is not necessarily a single product, but is often a set of products that provides a consistent unified user interface and user experience across multiple devices and media types.
Security: Cloud-based Web Filtering
Enterprises increasingly employ cloud-based web filtering as a way to monitor and control website access and usage to enhance productivity and improve security by protecting against malware and spyware.
Mobile Device Management (MDM)
Mobile device management entails lifecycle management of both company and employee provided mobile devices to manage and secure enterprise data and access.
Compliance Services
Many industries are subject to regulatory record keeping requiring documentation of all communications within an organization. In conjunction with other cloud-based telecommunications services, operators can centralize the collection, storage and reporting of such data, helping customers relieve costs and adhere to regulatory or best-practice compliance.
Wi-Fi-as-a-Service for Enterprises is the delivery of enterprise-focused services such as secure internal and guest Wi-Fi. Where the operator is already installing small cells with Wi-Fi, it can offer its business customers Wi-Fi access when the opportunity is available.
Context-Aware (or Location-Based) Services
Context or Location-Aware services can offer enterprises a large array of use cases.
The opportunity to leverage the very sophisticated mobile network location capabilities in Small Calls and extend them into the macro network creates unique opportunities to innovate enterprise business systems in ways that have never been easily available.

Scalable Small Cell Systems for Enterprise Deployments by Mobile Operators
SpiderCloud is the first company to offer a true multi-mode access system with 3G, LTE/4G and dual-band Wi-Fi for reliable mobile services indoors for enterprise customers of any size, called an Enterprise Radio Access Network (E-RAN). The E-RAN system consists of a Services Node (SCSN) that can control over 100 self-organizing and multi-access 3G, Wi-Fi and LTE/4G small cells that can be installed in just days using an enterprise-Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) as managed service by a mobile operator's network. In addition to providing reliable coverage and capacity, the E-RAN with the Services Node includes an Applications Programming Interfaces (API). The API inside the Services Node provides trusted connections to the Radio Nodes and a logical view into all devices on the E-RAN, to enable secure services to any mobile device on the network.
One E-RAN can deliver unprecedented capacity and coverage to over 10,000 connected smartphones and tablets, with just one connection to the mobile operator's core network. The scalable system architecture simplifies deployment and overall network configuration for mobile operators as they address pent-up demand for reliable mobile services from enterprise and large venue customers.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Don't Understand
I'm not one to create reviews that are a reply to other reviews, but I'm feeling sorry for the poor guy who hasn't seen this film and would like to know whether to bother. The answer is yes, don't bother with these 1 and 2 star reviews, because frankly I don't understand where they're coming from. They must've seen a completely different movie to me.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Don't Understand,
PyroSikTh (UK) - See all my reviews
I'm not one to create reviews that are a reply to other reviews, but I'm feeling sorry for the poor guy who hasn't seen this film and would like to know whether to bother. The answer is yes, don't bother with these 1 and 2 star reviews, because frankly I don't understand where they're coming from. They must've seen a completely different movie to me.
Now before I go on, let us remember that this is The Brothers Grimm, a tale that encompasses as many fairy tale references as it can. Fairy tale is the key here. If you're sat there watching it and you think "but that doesn't make sense", well neither do moving trees, feeling a pea under a pile of mattresses, or a walking, talking ginger-bread man.
Quick summary; Two brothers, one of logical thinking, one of fantasy thinking, con villages out of money by pretending to vanquish witches and monsters. After one successful con, they are dragged to the authoritative figure of the French invasion who sends them after the people responsible for the disappearance of young girls in a secluded village. It isn't long before the brothers find that this is a real curse.
To be honest, that's pretty much it, so what people are finding so messy and confusing I have no idea.
Acting is pretty decent. I've certainly seen a lot worse. Okay, so their accents may not be 100% perfect, but this is a light-hearted fantasy, why should they be? The special effects are pretty decent too. The characterisation was good, I really felt for the two brothers, especially Jacob. Script was almost faultless. Agreed, it could've been better, but that doesn't mean it has any faults.
A recurring theme - this film is not perfect by any means. The ending is awfully cliché, but it's a fairy tale, why shouldn't it be? The Queen appeared really late in the film so she barely got any screen time, which is a shame. The French characters were also pretty annoying, I just wanted them to die so they could leave the brothers to it.
Give this film a try, watch it with an open mind. This obviously isn't for everyone, but from where I'm sat, 95% of these negative reviews are complete rubbish. Remember, it's a fairy tale.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark Comical Fantasy,
Nicholas Casley (Plymouth, Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
This is an imaginative take on the characters of the collectors and tale-tellers; indeed this take would probably be libellous if the brothers were still alive, for Matt Damon and Heath Ledger portray them as frauds, making money off the back of the supernatural fears of the peasantry in Napoleonic Europe. Terry Gilliam, the director, in one of the extras states that his film "has nothing to do with the real Brothers Grimm ... Instead of thanking them, we are using them."
It's a fantastical comedy, or a comical fantasy, but with dark overtones featuring toad-licking, wolves, ravens, and assorted creepy-crawlies. It does have a happy ending, though, which was disconcerting for Gilliam since he doesn't usually do happy endings. Indeed, it was a surprise to learn that he was asked to direct this film rather than he coming up with the idea for it himself, given that the subject-matter is classic Gilliam territory.
Filmed in the Czech Republic, there are numerous references to tales of Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, the Gingerbread Man and Rapunzel. But the core of the story involves ..., well that would be giving the game away. It sometimes feels like a poor cousin of `Lord of the Rings'. The script, written by Ehren Kruger, is perhaps unnecessarily complicated and overly contrived. The film itself suffers from some poor ADR (especially Peter Stormare and even Jonathan Pryce), and I'm not sure that the cockney accent of our two heroes works either; as Gilliam says, we have here an American and an Australian playing Germans with English accents. He doesn't mention also the Swede playing an Italian and a Welshman playing a Frenchman.
There is a good commentary supplied by Terry Gilliam. Here we learn that originally Matt Damon and Heath Ledger were to play their opposite roles; that there was "certain pressure from certain sources" (the Weinsteins?) to prevent the heroes from shrieking like girls; and that the amazingly vast forest was constructed in a studio - but that the most expensive scene was cut because the forest's supernatural qualities were deemed too explicit.
The extras also include deleted scenes. It seems to me that these should have been kept in to provide further background and characterisation, two aspects poorly served in the film as it presently stands, where the action predominates to push the story forward. Another extra is a sixteen-minute film called `Bringing the Fairytale to Life' where we see, for example, the clever use made of mirrors in the tower scenes
I am a big fan of Gilliam and have all but one of his films on DVD in my collection (guess which one I refuse to buy), so I have to ask myself if I would have purchased this DVD if it had not been a Gilliam film. Difficult to say: I give it four stars (for Amazon = `I like it'), but not five (`I love it'), so I have no qualms about it taking up space on the shelf. But, yes, it is so rich in imaginative invention that, despite some hiccups in the film, I will enjoy watching it again and again, for Gilliam has created a fairy tale anew.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Different Spin on Grimm...,
Anne-Marie Marquess (Ireland) - See all my reviews
Enter into a Grim and Macabre Adventure that is truly a Tale of the Unexpected. Well, we all know about the brothers Grimm, tellers of fairytales. We will never forget "Little Red Riding Hood" or "Sleeping Beauty". This film, is set in a sinister, enchanted forest and is a dark tale, full of twists and turns, gnarled trees and strange occurrences.
It's different and I liked it and it was hard to predict where it was going! Which was good. It features the abduction of Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood among others, a Woodsman turned Werewolf, a Sleeping Once was Beauty and a distracted, disturbed damsel with "issues". There is a gruesome take on the Gingerbread man that is completely unexpected and creepy!! The film has elements of the Princess Bride, Shrek, Snow White and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but is a modern film, set in mediaeval times with humour interjected throughout.
The forest, which is definitely alive, centres around a high tower where, what used to be, a beautiful raven haired princess is determined to regain her youth and life force through manipulative means. A mixture of Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, with the Mirror revealing both reality and illusion. It weaves elements of Grimm's fairytales into one and is a dark, enchanted tapestry.
The Wolf was very well done, suitably supernatural and not the type of creature you'd want to run into in a forest, but this film is definitely not on a league with A Company of Wolves. It was horror in a shrek rather than a hammer way! Definitely room for improvements, but enjoyable. If you like the myth and legend of fairy tales, the supernatural, horror, fantasy and comedy, you should enjoy this. Very different and Definitely entertaining.

3.0 out of 5 stars Digestive Problems Prove A Little Grim,
Paul Pinn (UK) - See all my reviews
Take straight and slap-stick comedy, a touch of thriller, a dollop of horror, a sprinkling of suspense and mystery, and season well with special effects, hammy acting, traces of familiar childhood stories, and what do you get? A lumpy stew that's difficult to digest and hard to quantify. Imagine something akin to a cross between Labyrinth and Sleepy Hollow written by a second rate Ben Elton and Tommy Cooper, then expanded (meta)physically by a tired Spielberg and given some snappiness by the likes of Aronofsky, with an acting style that shows the flair of The Young Ones, and you have a film that doesn't know what it wants to be. I would have preferred to have seen this film made as a straight and very dark supernatural horror movie set in a realistic scuzzy Europe of 500 years ago. What I got was a second-rate entertainment that passed the time but did little more. Pity. It was a missed opportunity.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful fairytale and fun too!!!,
I really enjoyed this wonderful telling of the Brothers Grimm, as they inform you in a behind the scenes peak on the extras this is not attempting to tell the tale of the Brothers Grimm so much as put the Terry Gilliam stamp on proceedings which I think it succeeds on doing very well.
Both Matt Damon and the late Heath Ledger are clearly having a ball as the Brothers Grimm, plus there are some fine turns by Peter Stormare, as well as British actors Jonathan Pryce, MacKenzie Crook and Richard Ridings who all add depth and quality to the cast.
The imagination that has gone into this film is wonderful, everything looks great too, the death scene near the end of the film has to be one of the very best and imaginative scenes I've ever witnessed in film.
Let your mind flow and your body will follow, well worth taking a look at, especially if you like other Terry Gilliam projects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not rocket science, people!,
MayGoodComeToUs (Rome, Lazio, ITALY) - See all my reviews
I suppose I can say that I enjoyed this film because I took it for what I expected it to be: entertainment pure and simple. This is not rocket science, folks, nor was it billed as such! Yes, OK, I admit that it did get a little long there towards the end when it felt as though they just had to cram one more fairy tale into it, but so what? It is not such a VERY great crime after all. Also, they were no extraordinarially acurate with the history...and, true, WHAT was the music at the end? Not German...not French...not even Italian, really...but, again, so what? It was great music! I think this was probably a bit of a "rest" film for Matt Damon...the hammy acting was SUPPOSED to be there and he did it quite well! If you take this for what I imagine it is supposed to be, you will have an enjoyable evening of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as Grimm as some make out...,
I. M. Bartlett "sillyoldmoo" - See all my reviews
I found it an interesting interpretation of the roots of the Grimm Bro's, filmed in the way that Terry Gilliam typically works - which I love.
My family liked it too - they didn't wonder off - but they are quite well read and (I like to think) realised that this film is very much the (fantasised) story behind the stories and you have to know be familiar with them to appreciate what's going on.
It had the typically dark and eccentric qualities of Gilliam's other works played against a gothic European setting. Sure there's a few ropey bits, but if you want to switch off and have a story sliced up and served in bitesize, easily digested chunks then rent the Tellytubbies - I'd much rather watch something interesting and (occassionally) non-Hollywood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious, Rollicking, Intelligent, Madcap Mayhem...,
Mr. M. Poole "mykepoole" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
This is a full blooded Terry Gilliam film. It defies easy categorisation as all his films do. It's a morality tale, a swashbuckling adventure, a wicked comedy, a fantasy romp and a horror film all rolled into one.
It features excellent performances from all the leads, including an outstanding turn from Matt Damon as a preening, vain, overconfident con-man. The Bourne films clearly only use 1% of his acting ability - and here we get a full tour de force.
If you liked Munchhausen, if you liked Brazil - then you will love this.
If you want Van Helsing, a swords and corsets historical romance or you like your films explained to you every 5 minutes - then run away now...

4.0 out of 5 stars Forget the nightmarish stories - it's an enjoyable fantasy romp,
Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
It's tempting to imagine that the overwhelmingly negative reaction to Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm was down to Harvey Scissorhands' reputation. After all, hadn't the film sat on the shelf for a year because Gilliam and the Weinsteins were arguing over the ending? Hadn't Harvey fired the cinematographer and (quite rightly in my opinion) insisted that Samantha Morton not be cast over Gilliam's wishes? And wasn't the film suddenly rushed out on the market as part of the mass dumping of other troubled Miramax/Dimension titles when the real-life Grim Brothers were making their lucrative slash-and-burn exit from Disney? How could it possibly be any good?
The big surprise is that it actually is. While the bad reviews all seemed to focus on how this almost certainly wasn't Gilliam's vision of the film because of all the problems (as if he's known for untroubled shoots) and went to town on it, I found it surprisingly entertaining and even more surprisingly well-constructed. The screenplay is often genuinely witty and imaginative, the much-derided look of the film and its special effects are both perfectly right for the film in their sense of studio/storybook reality, Dario Marianelli's score is beautifully effective and the film itself is a lot of fun despite Heath Ledger's typical mumbling losing some of the funnier lines. Pitched somewhere between George Pal and Time Bandits, it sees a well paired Matt Damon and Ledger (mumbling aside) scamming their way from village to village vanquishing theatrically faked demons and witches until they find themselves up against the real thing in the form of Monica Belluci's immortal child-snatching queen ("She's 500 years old and the years have not been kind, I'm telling you!"). There's never much doubt about the outcome, and Jonathan Pryce and Peter Stormare's comic relief in the Terry Thomas-Peter Sellers roles is clumsily overplayed, but if you're willing to go along with it and take it for what it is rather than what it should be, it's a lot of fun. All in all Gilliam's most satisfying film since 12 Monkeys. I loved it.
Gilliam's commentary avoids being too specific about the production problems while the two featurettes are typical promotional love-ins, but there's a good selection of deleted scenes, including an excellent battle with a living tree that's more exciting than anything in the picture proper.

3.0 out of 5 stars grimm but watchable..,
By A Customer
well what can i say, it's different, it's mulan rouge type different,
very well filmed, set, atmosphere etc but you do tend to lose track of all the stories involved ...seems to jumpy to enjoy really.
if you want to sit down with friends eating pizza and drinking booze probably a good film to get as you can carry on talking and just step back to the film anytime as you cant really follow it any how....very nice horses, if thats your thing.

Like so many of you, I have spent the week stranded in one location. For myself it was my office, having been unable to leave early Tuesday morning once I closed school. The week was a very busy one and I had the great fortune of benefiting from the kindness of others. Pat Boyle walked through the blizzard to bring me to his home where he and his wife Becky fed me a warm meal, gave me a toothbrush, and a comfortable bed to sleep in. Mike Anzalone snow-shoed across 6 foot deep snow over to my office one evening and threw snowballs at my window to get my attention. He had a warm dish of pasta that his wife had made for me. At the local 7-11 two clerks, Jennifer and Sherry, gave me coffee and a warm smile everyday even though they too had been stuck there. A young man named Aaron dug out my truck and helped me get it into the FEC parking lot. Walking back to my office from the Boyles I met three FHS boys who were checking on the elderly and digging out people.
I bet many of you have similar stories of kindness and benevolence. I am proud of our community and proud of our school district. We have a lot of business to attend to, but before I get into it, I would ask you all to consider the following.
If you are a teacher, when you first get back together with your students, please take time to reflect with your students any acts of kindness or benevolence that they experienced during this storm. Please consider celebrating these acts with your students. They will probably never have the learning opportunity they presently have to learn the value of charity, service, resiliency, citizenship, and community. In my short time here I know these are some of the core values of our community and this lesson will last them a lifetime. These are the lessons that truly will help them be successful in life.
If you are not a teacher, check on your colleagues. How have their families fared? Are they able to get to work? Is there anything they need?
Our grounds crew have had an unbelievable time of it during this storm.....let them know you appreciate their efforts.
.....Now to the business of returning to school......
It is absolutely paramount to me that everyone has a safe return to school. I have spent many hours with our Board, administrators, program leaders, union leaders and municipal leaders on formulating a plan to safely return to school.
1. Unsafe Roofs
NO ONE can go into our buildings until I give the ok. The district architect and their structural engineers have advised that our roofs are all dangerous. They are holding more weight than designed. We have a plan to address this problem, but NO ONE is to go into any district building until I give the ok. The forecast of rain is only going to make this situation more dangerous.
2. Building Environmentals
The energy management system has been down all week and we have no idea about the environmentals of the buildings. We hope that the heat stayed on and pipes did not burst, but we will not know until we can get in the buildings. We know there are potential issues related to leaking, storm drain flooding, and sewage backup in some of the buildings.
3. Snow Removal
The snow is so deep and heavy that our equipment is unable to move it. We have 2 backhoes with small buckets. We are working with our municipal leaders who will help, but they cannot do so until the streets are made safe for the public. I have also been advised that once the roads have been made passable there will be a period of several days whereby heavy equipment, front loaders and dump trucks, will be brought in to remove the snow. This period will be too dangerous to have buses and students in the streets. When our crews start removing snow they will be doing it one building at a time.
4. First Day of School
Whenever school is open, the first day will be for all staff ONLY. This first day will only occur after it has been determined that roofs are safe, building environmentals are working, and it is safe to travel. The building administrators will organize and plan this day around ensuring the buildings are "student ready". The custodial crews will work with the head custodian and food service staff with their cooks. This day will look on the media as "Frontier Closed-Staff Report". Building administrators and department leaders will communicate with their respective staff the details on this day. Remember with the ROBO-CALL system down people should watch the local media and/or check our homepage.
5. Communication
The ROBO-CALL system is down and my email has been down a lot. I will be using the Frontier Home Page http://www.frontier.wnyric.org as the main district communication center for staff, students, and the community. We will be updating this page daily until school starts up again. I am holding daily meetings with the administrative cabinet and will share out key points on this web page. While this is the PRIMARY communication page I also use Twitter @frontiersupt and my blog at www.allstudentscanlearn.com to share anecdotes.
6. School Calender
The impact on our school calendar will be assessed AFTER the return to school. At which time I will work with the Board of Education to pull together district stakeholders for such an assessment. I spoke with NYSED officials and contrary to popular thought, the Commissioner will only grant variances to the minimum number of days required for school to be in session once ALL vacation days have been used up.
7. Payday
Payday is Wednesday, but in order for everyone to get paid the payroll staff have to be able to get here safely and work in a safe environment on Monday. Payday will be Friday if they cannot get in here till Tuesday.
Many thanks for all that you do for the kids of our community~Bret
