Who Is This Brandon Jennings?

He is they very young man who has given LIFE to the Milwaukee Bucks.. WOW.. We have had the pleasure to go to two games so far this season, where he has just played like his shorts were on fire.

He never played college ball but played for Lottomatica Roma for a year before being drafted and now playing for the Bucks.. He is so much fun to watch.

If Michael Redd, and Andrew Bogut were to both get healthy along with Jennings they would be darn near unbeatable.

This young man scored a career high (be it a young career) 55 points in one game a week ago.

 

I hope everyone gets healthy and stays healthy because if they do , it will be a heck of a year.

What Is Your Vision Really???

A few weeks back the Evansville School District asked that you submit your ideas of what your vision is for the school district?

What do you see in the next  5,10, 20 years…

I think the biggest thing I see in their future is a new junior high after the high school loan is paid for.

BUT the second part of this ‘vision’ I have it that the school retains the building.   I have heard whispers that a certain someone is already making plans for that building.   NOT school related.

The Junior High building must remain the property of the district. IT is a beautiful building and could be ‘ repurposed’ in so many ways.

LETS start with  a alternative school setting.   A possible home for 4K if  that ever comes to be , which I don’t know as though it should.

A NEW home for the district office, and the space they are in now could be used for class room.

A daycare.. for staff . Which they of course would be responsible for paying for their own children.

I have talked with many people since the meeting where the board voted NO to the property purchase on second street.

There are a few that think there are already ideas for that school after a new Junior high  is built and those who voted YES were voting more on a political level than a safety based one.     I think they have a strong argument for what they are suggesting.   We talked for almost a hour the other day over what some fear will happen to that building.

I know of several staff at the Junior High who think the school should retain the building after a new Junior High is build .    For some of the same reasons I listed above.

BUT  I want to make it clear that the board has gone on record as stating there will be no more building UNTIL the high school loan is paid off.

NOT that they could get the community to go along with anything else any way.

Think Of All your School COULD do WITH $1000,000!!!!!

NOW that is the question U.S. Cellular is asking people to ask.  But I am asking what could Evansville School District do with all that money?

LETS start with fixing the roof at T.R.I.S… so we don’t have to continue to worry about what our kids are breathing in.

Couple Busted for Refusing to Pay Tip

 

NO one should be forced to pay a TIP>  IT should be at will, not all servers deserve to be tipped.  When they think they will automatically get it because of the size of the party, some don’t bother trying to give decent service at all.

He Might Have Needed Prozac.

Georgia high school teacher accused of pursuing ‘hit’ on student

 

 

 

IF these allegations hold true. Oh my gosh.   He , the teacher needs serious help.

It’s very scary to think a teacher would think or behave in this manner.  It almost seems to crazy to be true.    But any thing seems to go these days.

This teacher should have tried some Prozac or a drink after school.

I laughed when I read it , but if true he is a very scary person that has been around people’s kids.

Every One Wants A Raise

Does not everyone want a raise?   Over the last year I have talked with many people and about the fact they have not had a raise in over 3-4 years.   A couple of people stated they got a ‘ raise’ of .15 cents, which did not even meet inflation.

Most people realize  that cut backs are needed and are just happy to have jobs.

Except for teachers, who whine every year about their pay.   They should be grateful to have jobs as well, as districts including ours has laid off employees.

But major companies have put in place wage freezes and hiring freezes.  Starting with our own state.

Many people are not getting raises, many people who are very deserving.

Our city administrator I am pretty confident is worthy of a pay raise. HOW EVER even he can see the conflict of the council giving him one, when the city laid off employees and there are some employees who get NO raise.

Every one in this day and time who has a job should be grateful , and should be willing to accept no pay raise until the economy rebounds a little , which I am still waiting to see.

Hard To Believe

Yeah for the Packers!!!!  I could hardly believe that was them out there yesterday.    Lets hope its not a one game fluke..  That they keep that passion going.
