Edgewood, Hillhouse "Academy" Get New Principals

Posted to: Schools, Dixwell, Westville
After the last principal left abruptly mid-year, Westville's Edgewood School will now have a permanent replacement.
Shanta Smith, an assistant principal at an elementary school in Clinton, has been tapped to run K-8 Edgewood. She'll replace acting principal Monique Brunson, who took over when Principal Raeanne Reynolds left the school mid-year for a job in Branford. Brunson did not pursue a permanent position.
Smith was one of four new principals named at a Monday meeting of the Board of Ed. Smith was not at the meeting.
Deputy Superintendent Imma Canelli said Smith served in a school in Clinton "similar in diversity" to Edgewood School. She said Smith had the clear support of the Edgewood interview committee.
Smith will start July 1, earning a salary of $127,381 per year.
The board also appointed Fallon Daniels as a principal Hillhouse High's new IDEA Academy, one of two new schools-within-a-school at Hillhouse. The Board of Ed last month appointed another new Hillhouse "academy" principal.
Daniels will leave her job as assistant principal at Pathway Academy of Technology and Design School in Hartford. Daniels is a former Co-op High science teacher.
"I pledge to commit myself to advancing Hillhouse," Daniels said.
Daniels will start July 1 and earn an annual salary of $121,093. She'll focus on students in grades 9 and 10; the current Hillhouse principal, Kermit Carolina, will focus on students in grades 11 and 12.

So does that mean that Carolina's salary will be halved now that he's only responsible for 2 grades? Too many chiefs…

Ms Daniels is a dedicated educator; I have no doubt her talent will help turn around Hillhouse. Welcome back, Fallon, and best of luck!

It seems to me that the current principal is being systematically sent to pasture. Brilliant maneuver by the BOE. The performance of Hillhouse has been dismal. Here's to hoping the changes turn around the other general studies highschool in the city, that happens to be primarily minority! Why aren't people looking for ways to sneak into Hillhouse like they do Wilbur Cross!!!? As I stated before, hoping for positive changes in the education of the students at Hillhouse!
posted by: JohnTulin on May 20, 2014 12:53pm
So now the principals salaries for Hillhouse come to a quarter million dollars?!? And then the assistant principals too? Absolutely unreal.
posted by: Thomas Alfred Paine on May 20, 2014 12:55pm
Here is a word of wisdom for the New Haven superintendent of schools and the New Haven Board of Education regarding the new experimental reorganization of Hillhouse High School into three "academies" with three independent principals: "Anything with three heads is a freak of nature and belongs in a circus."
Expect to see a three ring circus at Hillhouse next year. Why not rename the school the Hillhouse-Hydra Circus Academy!
The cost for the top administration at this one tripartite high school will be nearly $400,000!
What kind of nonsense and fiscal irresponsibility is the BOE perpetrating upon the people of this city? How long will we tolerate this foolishness. Three administrators will be paid a full-time salary to run one-third of a school. If Mr. Harries and the BOE have their way with this unwise, poorly conceived plan, every New Havener should wear a tee shirt which declares "I was hoodwinked and bamboozled by the New Haven BOE. Please slap me!"

I wonder why these comments are filled with concern on the salaries of the administrators. Would we be having these same comments if this were a Highschool in Branford or Glastonbury? Its about time teachers and administrators are geting equal salaries to lawyers and parole officers. After all its alot of those in New Haven. Congrats to Ms. Daniels.

Hillhouse has just under 100 students.
Cross has about 1200 students
What is the cost per student in New Haven?
How much per year will the new principal cost per year? $160,000?
Add at least one vice principal and support staff.
Notre Dame High School has 700 students
The tuition is under $11,000 per year.
The administrators also teach classes.
Almost 100% go on to higher education.
Yes I can do the math. I went to ND.

My "Handle"
"Cookie", the nickname for my daughter, took a brief look at this new blog. She was commenting about my "handle" and thought "Skippy" was a clever name. Okay, I can see where scipi might be pronounced that way, but no matter how you say it, I thought you should know how and why I selected that name. My husband teaches science so I took the first three letters of that word and put them with pi since I teach math. I thought scipi would be pronounced as "sigh pie", but if you prefer to call me Skippy, I'm okay with that - as long as you don't compare me to the peanut butter!

The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is not allowed to pray in a place in which there are images of animate beings. In fact some of them were of the view that doing so is haraam, although the view of the majority is that it is makrooh.
Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
As for fabric on which there are images or crossed lines or anything that distracts the worshipper, it is makrooh to pray in it, facing towards it or on it.
End quote from al-Majmoo, 3/185
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Tayimiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The correct view, which was narrated from Umar ibn al-Khattaab and others, and is mentioned in reports from Ahmad and others, is that if there are images in it (the church), he should not pray there, because the angels do not enter the room in which there are images, and because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not enter the Kabah until the images that were in it had been erased. This is what Umar said: We would not enter their churches if there were images in them.
End quote from Majmoo al-Fataawa, 22/162
Al-Bahooti al-Hanbali (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
It is makrooh to pray facing towards a set-up image, as was stated, because it is similar to the kuffaar's prostrating to them (images). … In al-Fusool it says: It is makrooh to pray facing a wall on which there are pictures and images, because that is similar to the worship of idols and statues.
End quote from Kashshaaf al-Qinaa, 1/370
The scholars of the Standing Committee said:
Praying in a place in which there is an image in front of the ones who are praying is resembling the worshippers of idols, and there are many hadeeths which indicate that it is forbidden to resemble the enemies of Allah and that we are enjoined to differ from them. It should also be noted that putting pictures of animate beings on walls is something that is not permissible; rather it is something that leads to exaggeration and shirk, especially if they are images of people who are venerated.
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 6/250-251.
Abd al-Azeez ibn Baaz, Abd al-Razzaaq Afeefi, Abd-Allah ibn Ghadyaan, Abd-Allah ibn Qaood
The later Hanafi and Shaafai scholars - unlike the Hanbalis - were so strict that they even forbade praying in a place in which there are any images, even if they are behind the one who is praying or placed on the ground so that he cannot see them.
Al-Shibramalsi al-Shaafai said:
It is makrooh to pray in a garment on which there is an image, or on a cloth on which there is an image, even if one is blind or it is dark, or the image is behind his back or placed face downwards on the ground so that he cannot see it when he prays on it (the cloth). This is clear, so as to keep away from the image which is forbidden.
End quote from Haashiyat Nihaayat al-Muhtaaj, 2/14
See also the answer to question no. 130263
From the comments quoted above we may find out and understand the wisdom behind not allowing prayer in a place in which there are images and statues. These reasons are:
The angels do not enter a room where there is an image. It was narrated from Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: The angels do not enter a room in which there is a dog or an image.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3225; Muslim, 2106.
The worshipper is asking Allah to send down mercy and increase blessings; how could you ask for that in a place where the angels of mercy will not enter?
Avoiding any resemblance to those who worship idols and statues, namely the idolaters, or even the Christians, who fill their churches with images of Christ and his mother Mary (peace be upon them) on the basis of falsehood. Avoiding any imitations of the non-Muslims is one of the important teachings of shareeah, so as to prevent the identity of the Muslims from being assimilated and lost, and so as to preserve its bright light which shines forth among the nations.
It was narrated from Aa'ishah that Umm Habeebah and Umm Salamah mentioned a church that they had seen in Abyssinia in which there were images, to the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: Those people, if there was a righteous man among them and he died, they would build a place of worship over his grave and put those images in it. They will be the most evil of mankind before Allaah on the Day of Resurrection.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 427; Muslim, 528
Avoiding that which may distract the worshipper. If an image is in front of one who is praying, it may distract him and cause his mind to wander, when the Muslim should seek to attain the highest degree of focus and humility when standing before Allah, may He be exalted, in his prayer.
It was narrated that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Aa'ishah had a patterned curtain with which she covered the side of her house. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: Take this patterned curtain of yours away from us because its images kept distracting me in my prayer.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 374, in Bab Kiraahiyyat al-salaah fil tasaaweer.

And Allah knows best.

@NathanG - I also have neck pain but I don't walk all day, I sit – constantly staring at my computer as I churn out lines and lines of code. I too developed neck pain.
I don't know if I've developed any disc degeneration; I'm almost afraid to go to the doctor to find out. However, I found that using an electric massage device and ice packs have helped tremendously.
I also work on correct posture and taking frequent breaks. It's such a crying shame in my opinion that so many occupations nowadays can adversely impact your back or neck. I think the chiropractor will be my next stop if my condition ever gets worse.

As a graduation project at the Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) a shelter for use in disaster help is developed. The project is done in close cooperation with the Dutch Doctors without Borders ('Artsen zonder Grenzen'). Finishing date: May 2007
The shelter is based on a high pressure (75 PSI) inflatable construction. It can be fully assembled and compactly packed at the manufacturer and therefore the only thing to do on site is inflating it with help of the built-in, human-powered air-pump. Simply by pulling a chord an inflator is activated and after 13 minutes the shelter is ready for use. Since no further instruction or external electrical energy is needed everybody is able to put up the product everywhere in the world. No parts can get lost during transport.
To make larger structures it is possible to connect the shelters to four sides. Walls can be fully removed.
The shelter cover consists of two separate layers, which provides basic thermal insulation in winter situations and cooling, 'natural ventilation' in hot climates. If needed, extra thermal insulation can be applied. The construction is designed to be able to carry a snow load of 70 kg/m2. In windy areas the shelter can be guyed to the ground.
The product is interesting for use in a later stadium of emergency aid: the full roof can be separated from the lower part and put on a wall or other stable structure, which is easily built with locally available materials. This saves time, building expertise and expensive roof construction materials while making it possible to make a nicer living area with for example real doors or windows.
After use, the product can be deflated, packed and transported compactly.
The product can be fully disassembled and materials used are chosen to be fully recyclable.

A polyatomic scattering kernel phenomenologically presented in a previous article is derived from an integral operator formulation. The five parameters involved in the scattering kernel expression are shown to be equal to the accommodation coefficients of various fluxes at the wall, namely: the fluxes of the three components of the momentum and the fluxes of the rotational and vibrational energies of molecules. Under its present form the model is especially convenient for the diatomic molecules.

Poll by poll analysis of the Ottawa West-Nepean Riding.
John this is great to have this. I suppose now we need a plan of attack on how we can target our resources and volunteers for maximum impact. One thing that really stands out is the low turnout rate in every poll.
This is excellent!
I too think that the key criteria in the analysis for focusing attention is low turnout, but even more given that we have limited human resources, focusing attention on geographic areas where there was low turnout in multiple contiguous polling areas. We had discussed targeting polls where the vote was close during our meeting last week; is this an important criteria or is it better to aim for increasing the total number of votes period for the endorsed candidate?
A technical question - I seem to be able to read postings on this forum without providing my password but only able to post by giving my password. Shouldn't the riding forum but completely password protected? Or, is it felt that transparency with our tactics is a positive?
Cheers David
If you click on the photo at the bottom of the page here http://catch22campaign.ca/notes/Ottawa_West%E2%80%94Nepean
you will see a map with all of the riding numbers..
Hi Francis,
I don't live in the riding, but I'm totally on board with your idea. I think targeted leaflet drops in key polls would be the most effective method of informing voters. There's a reason candidates do leaflets. They work!
Punditsguide.ca has a neat mapping feature that lays out exactly where the boundary lines are:
http://www.punditsguide.ca/riding/?riding=1119&pane=3 (scroll to the bottom)
The only slight difference I would have with your approach would be to focus on polls where the NDP and Greens did well, and try to flip them. I think that's where we'll find more success.
I think there's something to be said about low turnout polls as well though. Perhaps if we could identify polls that saw a drop in turnout from 2006 to 2008, we could identify polls that were hit by the "Dion effect".
I am outside the riding as well but work within it and traverse it more or less daily.
I have a spreadsheet for 2008 polling data which omits the Green votes for some reason. I am going through the Google Earth map, pulling up poll by poll information and then adding it into the spreadsheet.
In approx 25% of the polls the vote went to Baird due to splits on the left between Lib, NDP, and Green. I have not completed my review but these appear to be relatively high turnout ridings (57% to 75%).
My basic premise remains: Providing actual polling data information to resident of poll precincts will enable them to act in their own self interest to vote strategically to defeat Baird.
According to Elections Canada it appears any spending I do on behalf of Catch-22 constitutes a reportable expense. Catch-22 appears very de-centralized and I am not sure who I should contact to get clearance on using Catch-22 name and URL on a leaflet.
The spreadsheet at the top of this post, OttawaWestNepean-pollbypoll_bureauparbureau35066.xls has all of the data. The Greens were omitted as the number of votes were insignificant.
If you want the raw data you can get it here: http://www.elections.ca/scripts/resval/ovr_40ge.asp?prov=&lang=e which will save you a lot of cutting and pasting.
The raw data here: http://www.elections.ca/scripts/resval/ovr_40ge.asp?prov=&lang=e

Thanks John

I am trying to determine how to create a landing page on Catch-22 so that persons getting a printed flyer can enter that URL and arrive here at a page with a list of polling stations and additional URLS so they can click and view the vote split in their own polling district.
I posted a sample of the google map presentation idea elsewhere on Catch-22. Trying now to confirm the entire process, make sure it works as intended and then create sample flyer for distribution and approval / sign off.
The underlying CMS appears to be ning. http://www.ning.com/.
It looks like you could do a blog post which would be accessed with a URL like:
something like this:
Someone may be able to offer a simpler approach but as I am not an admin this is how I would work around the issue.
You're right Francis. All expenses have to be pre-approved. They can be routed through the Ottawa group co-ordinator(s) preferably. We're just wrapping up the literature and will have a process in place to expedite approvals for printing.

Koen de Kort diary - Stage 9

Koen de Kort is riding the Tour de France as a member of the Argos-Shimano team. He's writing exclusively for the Financial Review during the race, previewing the next stage's challenges and all the tactics.
Because some of the riders on my team had an early start today, it was a very early start for everyone, especially the staff members of the team.The first rider on the team started the time trial at 10.30am, so the team truck and bus had to leave the hotel to cover the 140 kilometres to the start town at 6am – very early considering the mechanics and soigneurs were all still at work until 10pm the previous night. Working as a staff member on the Tour can't be easy, even though the staff outnumber the riders two times over!
Our team at the start of the Tour de France consisted of nine riders, of which we have seven left. The staff consists of the general manager, the technical director, two race directors, a team doctor, a press officer, three mechanics, four soigneurs (assistants), a bus driver, a mental coach and a chef. All staff members will be here the whole Tour, except for the mental coach. He doubles as a race director and is only with us during the Tour for a total of seven days.
The Tour is such a busy race that we definitely need a lot of staff members. It seems a lot to have four soigneurs, but they have very long days starting with organising food and bottles for the whole day before we leave for the start. One of the soigneurs drives with one of the mechanics to the next hotel to set up the rooms, so when we arrive our suitcases are there waiting for us in the room. The other soigneurs assist us at the start with anything we need, like putting bottles on our bikes or oil on our legs.
They then drive to the feed zone to hand us our feed bags, after which they rush to the finish to wait for us with drinks, and then point us to where the bus is parked so we can have a shower. After arriving in the hotel they help the mechanics wash all the cars, the bus and the truck, they do our laundry and each of the soigneurs give a massage to two riders. By the time they finish with that it's usually 9pm or later, and they have worked all day. They'll then do the same again the next day. I think they need the rest day tomorrow as much as we do!
The mechanics start the day by taking all the bikes out of the truck and putting them on the cars to take to the start of the race. One mechanic drives to the next hotel while the other two drive the cars to the start, where they do some final preparations with our bikes before we take off. We have two cars in the race, each with a mechanic sharing the back seat with a set of wheels so they can act quickly when we have any mechanical problems. They also have to hand everything to the race director in case we need anything from the car, like spare clothing, bottles and race food, because only the mechanic can reach into the boot.
After the race they put the bikes back on the car, drive to the hotel and start cleaning and repairing all the bikes as well as the cars, truck and bus. They usually finish their day at about the same time as the soigneurs. Three weeks is a long time to work without any real days off – hopefully they can have a slightly easier day on the rest day as well.
My day on the bike today was pretty straightforward. I know my capabilities and I know I won't be able to finish top 20 in this time-trial, so I decided to save all my energy. In a three-week race it's important to only use energy when it's absolutely necessary, and I want to win a stage, so I've got to make sure I've got as much energy saved up as possible for that one day I manage to get in the breakaway that makes it to the finish line. Today was all about making the time cut and I comfortably did so. I could actually enjoy the ride a little today!
