NEW YORK — DLI Holding Corp. plans to open its boardroom doors, again.
The cosmetics and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals firm — known in the beauty industry for Del Laboratories Inc., the maker of Sally Hansen nail care — filed a registration statement for an initial public offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday.
In the filing, the Uniondale, N.Y.-based firm did not disclose the expected number or price range of the shares to be offered, but indicated that the total offering price could be up to $200 million.
The company stated that it will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.
Long-term plans, as outlined in the filing, include capitalizing on the firm's brand names, which include Sally Hansen nail care, Sally Hansen/La Cross beauty implements, NYC New York Color cosmetics and Orajel oral treatment. DLI Holding Corp. plans to expand underdeveloped product categories, such as foot care and toddler care, and is eyeing new distribution channels — including dollar stores, club stores and convenience stores — and plans to increase the presence of its cosmetics in food stores.
Cosmetics is the lion's share of the business, accounting for about 80 percent, or $80.3 million, of the firm's 2006 net sales, which totaled $104 million. Its beauty business — by virtue of its flagship brand, Sally Hansen — is focused on nail color, nail treatment, bleaches and hair removal products, or depilatories, and beauty implements. The NYC New York Color assortment is a value-priced line of cosmetics.
In 2004, DLI Holding Corp. acquired the company — then a publicly traded company known as Del Laboratories — taking it private. DLI Holding Corp. started out as a venture between affiliates of Kelso & Co., a New York investment firm, and Church & Dwight Co. Inc., which is no longer involved. Kelso & Co. owns about 97.6 percent of DLI Holding Corp.'s outstanding common stock.

Someone else said that if they could give a negative... - breezy
Someone else said that if they could give a negative number as a rating they would, and I whole heartedly second that opinion. I've used them twice, and never will again.
With this most recent experience it went something like this. Back in October I used their pickup/dropoff service for $80. High, but the bike wouldn't start and I was in the middle of moving and absolutely didn't have time to deal with renting a vehicle to get it over there.
It turned out the bike needed a new battery, and a tank/carb flush, which was about what I expected. They then told me the clutch cable has snapped, and tacked that on. The service took 4 weeks, which is ridiculous to begin with for that kind of basic work. They initially were responsive with phone calls in the first week or so, but then the burden started falling on me to check. After the service was done the sage of returning the bike began.
They did not respond to messages, they had excuse after excuse for why it couldn't happen this week or that week. Twice appointments were cancelled, and once, when I was out of town and didn't respond to their message to schedule another dropoff time for 3 whole days (keeping in mind that they had ignored many messages of mine at this point), they said they would have to start charging me a storage fee of $55/day if I didn't get it scheduled the next day.
So - I tried to get it scheduled the next day, and sure enough when they were supposed to drop it off I got a call saying we'd have to reschedule, or I could hang around waiting for it for an unspecified amount of time.
I JUST got my bike back yesterday. They were over an hour late in delivering it, and it came back without the cover. The delivery guy (Paul) said he would find the cover and come back with it same day (since it was going to rain overnight). I got home and naturally there was no cover and no phone call telling me why. When I called this morning they told me there hadn't been a cover on it when they picked it up, and basically tough noogies. When I said that I wasn't very happy with the way things had gone she started spewing all sorts of excuses and laughing about it. 100% totally unacceptable. You couldn't pay me to go back there. The service itself seems fine - the bike is running, but if they couldn't manage a carb cleaning then they wouldn't be in business at all.

I have a friend — let's call him Max — who has some difficulty making a decision when he's shopping for big ticket items (TVs, computers, cars, etc). Like many of us, Max scours the websites of the manufacturers, pours over the reviews on yelp, Consumer Reports, edmunds.com, etc. If the item he is considering is complex enough — as in a home theater system — Max may even create a little spreadsheet where he enters the relevant specs for each of the options he is considering so that he can easily compare them along the various data points. By the time Max makes a decision, he knows everything there is to know about the potential options.
So, one would think that when it comes to big-ticket items like flat screen TVs, cars and similar expensive items that the person who does the research prior to making a purchase would be more likely to make a good decision, right? Well, not necessarily. Those of us who do exhaustive research before deciding are known as maximizers. Through our lengthy investigations, we are trying to maximize the positive outcomes of our decisions. On the other hand, people who buy the first thing that seems to meet their minimal requirements are called satisficers. These people are likely to buy the first thing that suffices. And, as it turns out, maximizers are generally no better off than satisficers.
Maximizers tend to make objectively better decisions. If shopping for a car, the maximizer is likely to end up with the car that is has better ratings overall on all the specifications that matter — gas mileage, reliability, leg room, etc. However, the satisficers tend to be, well, more satisfied with what they bought. A satisficer's car may not be the best car ever made, but they like it and are happy with it.
As it happens, people who agonize over all the details prior to making a decision tend to continue agonizing even after they have make their choice. In other words, maximizers don't really stop shopping right away after they have spent their money. However, by not entertaining numerous options to begin with, people who satisfice are less likely to dampen the enjoyment of their purchase by wondering about the options they did not select.
So, does this mean you should go out and buy big-ticket items without checking them out first? No. But, to maximize your own happiness, it is best to decide in advance what the one or two most important features are, compare the options on only those features. Then, make your purchase and forget about the rest.
For most items, the differences between them are going to make very little functional difference — the cars will all get you to work, the computers will allow you to compute, the washing machines will clean your clothes. If there are large discrepancies in price or quality, those should be easily understood and non-competitive items eliminated. Then, pick the one that feels best. You'll be happier with the result.
At BeyondThePurchase.Org, we are researching the connection between people's spending habits, happiness, and values. To find out more about how your personality and values influence how you relate to money and spending, we encourage you to first Login or Registerwith Beyond The Purchase and then take our Sucker Rumination Scaleand the Tightwad/Spendthrift Scale. We think you may learn a lot about how you and why you spend your money the way you do.

When firefighters respond to an emergency the first thing they want to do is jump in and help.
But if the emergency involves a person trapped in a trench that has collapsed or in a confined space, or there is a HazMat issue, legally only firefighters trained for such emergencies can take part in rescues.
You run a very high risk of the people you put in there to do the rescue being a victim themselves, said Midway Fire Rescue Chief Doug Eggiman.
A department can be fined by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration for putting the firefighters in an unsafe situation.
Thats why Georgetown County started a Technical Rescue Team in 2010.
Made up of about 20 firefighters from Midway and the countys department, the Technical Rescue Team specializes in rope rescues, collapses, wilderness search and rescue, HazMat situations, trench rescues and confined space rescues.
Team membership is strictly voluntary, and firefighters go through a selection process.
We want to make sure were putting the appropriate people on the team, Eggiman said.
The training is above and beyond what is required by the county departments.
It definitely adds to their skill level, Eggiman said.
Its also good for different departments to train together so firefighters can get to know each other and other departments procedures, the chief added.
Shortly after being created, the countys Technical Rescue Team extracted a man who was trapped in 50-foot hole in a pile of sand at the steam plant off Pennyroyal Road in Georgetown. The man was driving a tractor on the pile and it sunk in a soft spot.
Team members crawled out on a catwalk over the pile, lowered a harness to the man and pulled him to safety.
If the county hadnt had its own team and had to wait for the regional Technical Rescue Team to respond from Myrtle Beach, or the state Technical Rescue Team from Columbia, the man may not have survived.
Sometimes time can be of the essence, Eggiman said.
The countys Technical Rescue Team was called out on Tuesday night for a report of an explosion and a man trapped in an elevator shaft at 3V Chemical, but didnt end up being involved in the rescue.
Midway is always involved with training, including a recent joint exercise on wildfire fighting with Horry County.

In retrospect – always in retrospect – it should have been obvious that, when it came to Dr. Charles Denham, something was not quite right. In a remarkable number of cases of medical errors, it's clear – again, in retrospect – that there were signs that something was amiss, but they were ignored. The reasons […]

The answer, I said, is yes, and it isn't just to prevent the flu. It's to get into the habit of making our folks do […]
Pay for Performance in Healthcare: Do We Need Less, More, or Different?
by Bob Wachter on November 27, 2012 in Health Policy, Hospital Care, Medical Ethics, Pay-for-performance, Quality Improvement, Quality Measurement, Transparency and Reporting
The debate over pay for performance in healthcare gets progressively more interesting, and confusing. And, with Medicare's recent launch of its value-based purchasing and readmission penalty programs, the debate is no longer theoretical. Just in the past several months, we've seen studies showing that pay for performance works, and others showing that it doesn't. We've […]
Denying Reality About Bad Prognoses: Not a Benign Problem
by Bob Wachter on November 18, 2012 in Diagnosis/Clinical Reasoning, Efficiency, Health Policy, Medical Ethics, Uncategorized
The human capacity to deny reality is one of our defining characteristics. Evolutionarily, it has often served us well, inspiring us to press onward against long odds. Without denial, the American settlers might have aborted their westward trek somewhere around Pittsburgh; Steve Jobs might thrown up his hands after the demise of the Lisa; and […]
Gregory House, MD, RIP

The final episode of the show House, MD airs on FOX tonite. I wrote the following op-ed piece for USA Today; it'll appear there tomorrow morning and is reproduced here with permission.

Digital Distractions: Time for a Diet
by Bob Wachter on March 30, 2012 in Health Policy, Information Technology, Media/Press Coverage, Medical Ethics, Patient Safety/Medical Errors
It's been said that losing weight is much harder than kicking cigarettes or alcohol. After all, because one doesn't need to smoke or drink, the offending substances can simply be kept out of sight (if not out of mind). Dieting, on the other hands, involves changing the way a person does something we all must […]
Saying "No" While Being NICE
by Bob Wachter on December 20, 2011 in Industry/Pharma, International Comparisons, Medical Ethics, United Kingdom Healthcare System
A wise man once quipped that saying that we may need to ration healthcare is like saying that we may need to respect the laws of gravity. In other words, when societies have more healthcare needs and wants than resources (and all societies do), rationing is inevitable. The question of how to ration used to […]
Rip Van Doctor: Observations On An Academic Medical Service After A Ten-Year Absence
by Bob Wachter on January 24, 2011 in Hospital Care, Hospitalists/Hospital Medicine, Medical Education/Academia, Medical Ethics
Cindy Fenton is one of the best doctors I know, a superb clinician-educator who was directing the UCSF Department of Medicine's educational programs when, in 2001, she stepped off the academic treadmill to raise her three children. With her youngest now in first grade, I recently managed to coax her back into clinical medicine. In […]
"If There's a Doctor on Board, Please Ring Your Call Button"
by Bob Wachter on August 22, 2010 in Ambulatory/Primary Care, Media/Press Coverage, Medical Ethics, Outsourcing/Medical Tourism
Well, it happened again. Last Thursday evening, I was somewhere over Saskatchewan, returning from a lovely Mediterranean cruise, in that uncomfortable semi-conscious state that passes for sleep when you're flying coach, when the airplane's PA system rang out: "If there's a doctor on board, please ring your call button!" If you're old enough to remember […]

Keep an eye on the captain, and bet on the cricket team!
Indian Premier League betting is a world unto itself. The League is comprised of various cricket teams, most of which contain local Indian talent in conjunction with top players from around the globe. As in all sports settings, some teams perennially rise to the top, while other teams limp along, and at times simply fade away.
Cricket Competition
Online IPL betting is global in nature. The Indian Premier League is a wildly competitive tournament with a diamond encrusted trophy that goes to the winning team. Each team pays top salaries to their imported players. This is serious cricket, and online IPL betting reflects the fiercely fought cricket fixtures that make up the IPL tournament.
Increased Indian Premier League Betting Success
Cricket betting involves an appraisal of the team captain. Winning predictions are often based in large measure on the quick-thinking wit of the captain. Games are won and lost on the captain's talent for appropriate on-the-spot decisions and actions. The talent of the captain plays a substantial part in determining IPL betting odds.
Betting on IPL, or on any sport for that matter, is never guaranteed. However, by becoming informed as to the captain's history, all IPL bets can be placed more successfully. That history can be seen through the lens of final fixture results; standings, of the captain as a player and of the team as a whole; and fixture highlights.
The free bets offered by online bookmakers have simplified the process of betting on IPL. The many UK players that have been imported by Indian Premier League teams have generated great interest in the IPL bet.
Batting first is an absolute advantage. Placing a bet on the team that bats first presents a very real edge to the bettor. While IPL betting odds are an important predictor of tournament victory, equally essential is a focus on the team that is batting first. The reasoning behind such a focus is that the first batting team places the second team in a catch-up mode, which establishes a pressure cooker scenario for the team batting second. Betting on the team that is batting first can be accomplished by placing your bet after the toss.
On winning teams there will always be a standout player who is capable of winning the fixture. Doing a bit of research into the stats on the top team players will highlight the team that can most easily win the trophy. Often the top players are the imported talent that are paid a mega amount to join the team. However, when analyzing the power of that one player, always keep in mind that his cricket ability will bear fruit only if the remaining team members can adequately back him up.
The internet has enhanced the process of betting on IPL by making the sports wager convenient, comfortable and accessible. A free bet through an online bookmaker converts simple cricket betting advantages into a winning bet.

The UK's Department for Transport (DfT) has had to prove the security of its main financial management database as it moves to meet the Treasury's requirements for financial reporting and ensure it complies with government guidelines on secure system accreditation.

The DfT's IT solutions partner, Computacenter, retained Stockton-on-Tees-based security consultancy Sapphire to do the work. Sapphire completed the job in six of the allocated 10 days.
Weng Lam, the DfT's system accountant, said, "Since then, we have commissioned Sapphire to carry out five days of penetration testing in another DfT division."
Asked what risks the DfT faced, Lam said, "We had tight timescales to be in line with the government financial reporting calendar. However, careful planning resulted in an organised project which ran to schedule."
The financial database, Terasolve sitting on SQL Server, contains a nine-year record of data relating to departmental budgets. The DfT runs Information Edge's Coins application, which feeds into the main Treasury database. This meant it had to meet Government Secure Intranet (GSI) accreditation standards.
The DfT uses Coins to take care of the financial requirements for third-party divisions, such as the DVLA, to give a high-level overview of budget utilisation for departments such as the Treasury, and to track financial expenditure on individual projects.

Skip to comments.Is This the White House' Fox Strategy
Posted on 10/20/2009 9:58:44 AM PDT by fiscon1
Buried in the administration's multiple inflammatory statements on Fox News may be their strategy in all of this. In fact, Anita Dunn, David Axelrod, and Rahm Emanuel made hints at it in their statements. Here's the pertinent portion from Axelrod.
The bigger thing is that other news organizations like yours ought not to treat them that way, and were not going to treat them that way. Were going to appear on their shows. Were going to participate, but understanding that they represent a point of view.
(Excerpt) Read more at theeprovocateur.blogspot.com ...
This exchange took place this morning during the White House press briefing:
Tapper: Its escaped none of our notice that the White House has decided in the last few weeks to declare one of our sister organizations not a news organization and to tell the rest of us not to treat them like a news organization. Can you explain why its appropriate for the White House to decide that a news organization is not one
Gibbs: Jake, we render, we render an opinion based on some of their coverage and the fairness that, the fairness of that coverage.
MORE at link
We need to watch what other news outlets do. If they play Obamas game. We've got ourselves a chess match. Scary
My question is, is the media-formerly-known-as-main stream going to go along with being the President's lap dog, especially now that Anita Dunn has explicitly stated that the administration "controlled the media" during the campaign?
Isn't this the same thing Hugo Cavez is doing down South?
Much of their media has already been nationalized... we'll call it "bailed out" up here.
Buried in the administration's multiple inflammatory statements on Fox News may be their strategy...... Anita Dunn, David Axelrod, and Rahm Emanuel hint at it in their statements.
The strategy is this: WH attacks indicate Fox News is having a devastating effect on "their vote"---Democrats and Independents (they've already written off Republicans).
The WH slyly indicates FOX is am arm of the Republican Party ONLY BECAUSE they want to poison FOX in the minds of Democrats and Independents.
The incompetents in the WH can't even get this right----the more they attack FOX the more people tune in.
Here's what FOX's Glenn Beck did (they are not all Republicans):
The massive crowds (9/12 pics left) are VERY significant---b/c the LSM measures crowds by the
size of civil rights protests (right pic); which LSM points out extended AROUND the Reflecting Pool.
Hopefully Murdoch and Ailes can ride this out, but just look at what these totalitarians have forced on other entire industries by threatening the "uncooperative" with financial ruin
I have a feeling that rahmbo is a sick little puppy and an unbalanced ideologue slickmeister who would not be taking on the nation's largest cable news network if he didn't intend to co opt them, by whatever means
Nowadays, all you need is for someone from 1989 to show up and take a look around. They'd faint dead away.
The more the White Hut attacks Fox News, the higher its ratings. GO FOX NEWS!
Part of the Fox strategy is simply to have them consume air time on themselves. Media personalities are a bit narcississtic, and talking about themselves for hours is a lot of fun for a narcissist. Especially if they think it is they are of monumental importance.
Every minute spent on themselves is a minute not spent broadcasting something else about the BO administration and its gang of Nazis.
What's the over under on Tapper moving the Fox News. One year, less, more?
"First, I'll do my Baghdad Bob impersonation, then I'll
go into my Vinnie Barbarino act. Who? What? Where?"
This is why politics is fun again, stuff like this.
This is a historic opportunity for FNC: To have a pure democrat federal government, with FNC being the lone independent news source to challenge the power.
It makes FNC fun to watch. I watch MSNBC more this year than the last few, to see what they are up to, and watch dems civil war. As much as I love FNC, I will always see what the other side says.
The White House has to know the truth... so why are they taking FOX on? There's got to be something here we're missing. Obama and boys ( I'm only referring to White men in the administration ) aren't fools. They've got something up their sleeves... What could it be? One in five adults are watching FOX News at night... and the numbers are higher with the administrations help. Something's up...
For the first time, I am not so scared. I was really afraid of where this country was headed, but more and more I see that the people are taking this in their own hands. To the shagrin of the white house we ARE smart enough (don't tell Bill Maher) to filter out the truth regardless of the gunk they spew at us. Thanks in great part to FOX. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel good, but I do see a Teenie little light at the end of a very long tunnel.
On a regular basis I tweet stuff to Jake Tapper and once in a while he (and Mark Knoller NBC) will respond in a neutral fashion.
My belief is that to some degree, the media in finally being dragged (kicking and screaming) into admitting that obama is a dangerous fraud
Two spots were not 'controlled'
Saddleback church (above my pay grade)
Joe the plumber 'spread the wealth around'
And that is why they 'controlled' the rest of the campaign.
Obama is as radical as you suspect he is, but if he had spoken freely and openly, all of America would have known it.
Not just half.
IMO the white house either "knows" (or believes) that Glen Beck has, in fact, uncovered yet to be shared new evidence that will blow the lid off
Thus they are pulling out all the stops to try and get other media not to report what may soon be surfaced on Fox News
Their blatant hypocrisy is that the other stations are outlets for the DNC. One station dares to tell America the truth and they can't handle it. Guess Fox News doesn't get the talking points!
Turned off my cable and dish in November last year due part in anti-american bias by noooze and tired of seeing the millionth rerun of hitlers bodyguard etc .....
My source of news is FR and a few other sites that give all sides pro and con etc ........
Only payed info source is WSJ and XM radio as well as the internet of course.
That's an assumption I'm not willing to buy. They are leftist ideologues first of all. And they were all big fish in little ponds before January and used to getting their way through Chicago style intimidation. And they rode into office on a wave of Rock Star enthusiasm fanned by a fawning media.
Add that all up, and it's far easier to believe they have become fools to their own press clippings rather than evil geniuses with some devious master plan. Recall that the Clintons were very similar and grossly over reached in the first two years before they finally pulled back and reorganized.
I think the reality is that Obama and his inner circle are in over their heads and will damage themselves badly.
The Pipsqueak is trying the Alinsky technique of "isolate it, freeze it, destroy it" (or word to that effect) with the media.
Problem is, Pipsqueak, it ain't gonna work.
Jake Tapper is the ONLY reporter with BALLS and SMARTS!
... Anita Dunn ....
Believe it or not but...
Dunn is married to President Obama's personal attorney, Robert Bauer, a partner at Perkins Coie who has been the general counsel of Obama for America since January 2007.
And.... And no, this is NO Joke....
In 2008, Newsweek named Dunn and Bauer the new "power couple" in Washington, D.C.
Well you have to give Obama credit one thing.... for hiring THE BLIND. Because Bauer must be to marry her. Plus credit for hiring old time Side Show Freak Performers who have Reptilian Tongues like, Anita Dunn!
Now maybe this Bauer guy isn't blind. Maybe he married her because he found she can do ...(snicker) .. 'unnatural things' with that tongue of hers and thought, 'ah.. what the hell'..
There was NO way to get their media hookers back on 'race' topic without it being toooo obvious for the average observer of tube news.
IOW, you guys better report the news as we want it reported or we will make sure no-one goes on your programs or answers your questions.
The other news organizations better listen up, they will have to toe the line because big brother will be watching and handing out punishments.
What is that strange speech pattern of hers? It is like she has dry mouth and cannot manage the proper use of her tongue. Never heard anything like it.
It's certainly more comforting to believer they're overreaching egomaniacs than evil geniuses... or worse.
Oh well, we'll prepare for the worst and hope for the best...
It's certainly more comforting to believe they're overreaching egomaniacs than evil geniuses... or worse.

Watch a Hurst Cop Deliver a Flying Knee to 17-Year-Old's Head
It's not clear why a Hurst police officer was arresting the 17-year-old shown in the above video, or how much the he was resisting. What is clear is that the he didn't pose much of a threat when a second cop -- who IDs himself as Officer Arnold -- sprinted in and delivered a flying knee to the back of the teen's head, adding "Move and fuckin' die."
The video was posted Friday to World Star Hip Hop, then picked up on Reddit then, last night, by local news stations.
The teen, Andrew Rodriguez, was charged with resisting arrest and spent three days in jail. His mother, Kelly Pope, was pissed.
"I was mad, I was hurt," Pope told WFAA. "This is supposed to be somebody to protect the city and our children."
She's scheduled to meet with Hurst's police chief this morning. Meanwhile, the police department's only response to the video so far has been a brief post on its Facebook page.
REGARDING THE VIDEO - Obviously, this is not behavior that the City of Hurst and the Hurst Police Department promotes or condones in any way. We strive to build a stronger, safer community through our work around the city and will continue to do so through appropriate action. The incident is being investigated internally.
Upcoming Events
Update at 7:53 a.m. KTVT gives a fuller account of the incident. Rodriguez was with two friends at Bellaire Park when they were spotted by police, who thought they looked suspicious.
A check found that Rodriguez had a warrant -- his mother said it was for truancy in the eighth grade -- and the first officer moved in to make an arrest. Rodriguez initially tried to brush him off, prompting a minor struggle. That's when Rodriguez' friend, 17-year-old Jordan Rojas, began recording.
Update at 1:41 p.m.: Hurst PD posted an update on their Facebook page a while ago announcing the suspension of Officer Disraeli Arnold pending an internal affairs investigation.
UPDATE REGARDING THE VIDEO OF OFFICER DISRAELI ARNOLD - As we stated previously, this is not behavior that the City of Hurst and the Hurst Police Department promotes or condones. Officer Arnold has been placed on administrative leave pending an ongoing internal affairs investigation.
At this point we cannot comment on the status of the investigation from either a civil or criminal standpoint due to legal, civil service, and internal procedural regulations. We are cooperating with the media within the scope of those regulations and any information we can release will be made public through those outlets. We appreciate everyone's thoughts and continued civil discourse as the investigation is conducted.

LISTEN: Jake Bernstein on the NOTW Phone Hacking Scandal
The UK's News of the World phone hacking scandal has proven to be a treasure trove of unethical and unlawful practices. With seven resignations, 10 arrests and near 4,000 phone hacking victims so far, the drama from across the pond has shocked the world over. However, as ProPublica's Jake Bernstein explains on WNYC's On The Media, this scandal could also be breaking U.S. law.
"It's possible that News Corp. ran afoul of a 1970s era law called the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act," Bernstein says. "This was something that came out of the Watergate era, and it's to stop companies from participating in bribery overseas."
This law has become quite popular with the Department of Justice and the SEC. Just last year there were 54 such cases, resulting in about $530 million for the SEC in corporate settlements.
You can listen to the interview below, and read the transcript from the episode as well.
Bernstein was also a guest on WNYC's The Brian Lehrer Show to further discuss the phone hacking scandal in relation to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He was joined by Jeff Jarvis of buzzmachine.com in an interview you can listen to below. You can also read Bernstein's related ProPublica investigation, Damned If You Do or Don't: How Murdoch Reporters' Bribes to British Cops Violate U.S. Law.

Levy approval critical to renew current levels | Guest Column: Patty Fielding | Jan. 15
Thanks to well over 60 percent of Bainbridge voters, a critically needed capital bond was approved in November. But that money, by law, can only be spent on the capital projects specified in the bond... a new Wilkes school and district-wide facility renovations and upgrades.
No bond money can be used for district daily operations or expenses, no matter how great the need.
A voter approved levy is the only mechanism available for districts to fill the gap between state and federal funding and the actual costs of K-12 education.
With ongoing state budget cuts, this gap gets wider every year. So, ballots arrive in island mailboxes next week asking voters to renew the Bainbridge Island School District Program and Operat-ions levy that expires this year.
The Feb. 9 levy is not a new tax and school taxes will remain stable if approved.
As a continuation of what homeowners have been paying from the last levy and other levies past, this money is strictly for school operations. The district has never operated without these funds.
Levy renewals are put on the ballot by Washington school districts at three- or four-year intervals as part of basic education funding.
Many other state school districts are asking voter approval this February; many are on the ballot with capital bonds and other initiatives such as technology or transportation levies.
Of importance, a school district levy cannot be longer than four years and the amount requested is limited by the state.
Yet, voter-approved levies for other municipal taxing districts in Washington can extend well beyond four years – from 10 to unlimited years. This disparity means schools must get voter approval for basic funding of core education every four years to continue existing programs and staffing.
In Washington, local levy dollars remain local. State dollars go into a state pot to be reallocated to school districts throughout the state based on many different, complex formulas.
This means that what is collected locally is not what the district gets back from the state. Federal education dollars are also distributed through formulas, but they generally target economically disadvantaged districts and special programs and are restricted to those uses.
Local levies are the only school tax funding for operations that go straight to the respective local districts, allowing community members to get back directly what is put in with tax dollars. But without voter approval, that levy portion of basic school funding is simply not available.
Both state and federal formulas work to the disadvantage of Bainbridge Island to the degree that we now rank 232 among 295 districts in per pupil funding – in the bottom 25 percent.
Clearly, we don't get back enough of what is paid in state and federal assessed taxes to keep up with other districts and to provide for core education programs here. So, for Bainbridge Island, local levy dollars are critical to maintaining current staff and programs, accounting for 21 percent of our operational budget.
In the past two years, the economic crisis has required Bainbridge to cut $3.6 million dollars (10 percent) from our operations budget and further cuts will be necessary in the coming year.
Imagine what would happen to our schools if another 21 percent had to be cut: a loss of 80 staff positions affecting every school; no new or replacement textbooks; drastic reduction in classroom materials; more loss of professional development for teachers.
We are so very grateful to our community for past and continued generosity through support of voter initiatives like the bond, past levies, individual and group direct contributions, and through the many volunteer hours given at the various local schools and school-based activities.
Please help us now to continue with the excellent teachers and classroom support that have defined this district as one of the best in the state. There has never been a more important time to renew the program and operations levy.
Patty Fielding is president of the Bainbridge Island School District board of directors.
