Staff Report
A court date has been set for two men allegedly involved in the murder of 61-year-old Bobby Wiggins.
James Otis Sizemore, 26, and William J. Anderson, 33, both of Flat Lick, appeared in Bell Circuit Court Monday for the pre-trial conference. The trial date for both men has been set for April 9.
Wiggins' body was found in a wooded area of Bell County near the Knox County line, approximately a year ago. Wiggins died from an alleged strike to the head.
Both men were indicted on the murder charge earlier in the year, following their arrest last year.
Anderson was the first man charged with the murder. He was arrested on Dec. 4.
Sizemore was picked up later following an investigation by the Kentucky State Police.

Two of my many :) favorite desserts are Strawberry Shortcake and P'zookies.
Never heard of a P'zookie? Well...it's an absolutely delicious dessert made by pressing raw chocolate chip cookie down into the bottom of a ramekin, baking it half way, and then topping it with your favorite (usually vanilla) ice cream on top while it's still warm. At least, that's how I've always had them. Sounds yummy huh? It is!
I'm not really sure why, but the other day, I thought it would be fun to mix those two desserts together to see how it would taste.
Verdict? Delicious, of course. :)
I didn't use chocolate chip cookie dough because that actually sounds semi-gross to me. Instead I ran with the cake component and used yellow cake mix to make a cake mix sugar cookie dough. Which made it all even simpler!
Here's the quick, easy recipe:
Strawberry Shortcake P'zookies
1 box of yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup of oil
1 quart of high quality strawberry ice cream (I like Breyers)
Optional: fresh, diced strawberries
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together cake mix, eggs, and oil.
3. Press about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of the dough into the bottom of a ramekin...or two or three. ;)
4. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. You decide how "done" you want it. I like it on the raw side, but crispy is delicious as well.
5. Pull the ramekins out the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Set your ice cream out to thaw a little as well.
6. Top of the warm cookie dough with a large scoop of strawberry ice cream and some fresh diced strawberries.
7. Eat immediately. Enjoy!
*Tip: Store leftover dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to about three days. When you want to make another P'zookie, simply pull out the dough, press into a ramekin, bake, and enjoy!
Yes...we don't own an ice cream scoop. With how much ice cream we eat, it's kind of a shame. And yet, I still always forget to buy one at the store and we make do.
Taking pictures was tricky. The ice cream started to melt fast.
And my boys were melting into impatience even faster. They kept asking, can I eat it now!?
They got the two smaller ones and I got the big one. What you don't give yourself more dessert because you're bigger? :) I do.
I shouldn't have this time though. As good as this is, it is on the rich side. When I made this later for my husband and me, I found the smaller ramekins to be the perfect portion.
Nevermind that we had it a couple of times per day until all the dough was gone.
Happy Summer Eats!

Powering up to pay less
Updated: November 7, 2012
The Electric Aggregation Plan basically saves money by buying electricity in bulk. Cities and other municipalities in 14 counties put the issue on their ballots.
A "yes" vote gave community leaders the power to pick a company to provide electricity for everyone living there at the best price. Most voted in favor of the plan.
But some races were very close. Representatives with the state's Commerce Commission says some people don't like the idea of letting government play such a big role in the power prices.
It will still take time before you see lower electric bills. First, the municipalities need to find different power companies to place bids. After that, they'll send out notices for those who may want to opt out of the plan.
Some county leaders say they expect to see lower prices by early next year. After it goes into effect, you will still receive bills from your current provider which will continue to perform your service calls. The electricity itself will come from a different source.
One group voting against Electrical Aggregation was the unincorporated area in Sangamon County. The "nays" outweighed the "yeas" by seven votes. Election supervisors say they still have absentee ballots to count, meaning the decision could be overturned. They expect a final count in the next few weeks.

Moderator: Moderators
I was wondering whether you could sell laptop stickers for Sabayon Linux? The sort of thing I'm thinking of is rather like the laptop sticker for Fedora Linux shown in the following picture: http://www.linuxpusher.dk/images/sticker-fedora.jpg
Laptop stickers are usually around 2.5 cm high by 1.8 cm wide. The Sabayon Linux logo would be the one here: http://www.sabayonlinux.org/sabayon/pre ... w-only.png and the font would be the Sabayon Linux standard font which is Entangled Plain BRK which you can download from the following Web page: http://www.abstractfonts.com/search/entangled
These laptop stickers are usually made of thin vinyl so that they do not touch the LCD screen when the laptop is closed. They can of course be affixed to desktop PCs too, not just laptops.
Laptop stickers for various Linux distributions are sold by several Web shops, but I cannot find one for Sabayon Linux. It would be cool if you guys could sell these (in fact laptop stickers for all the other Linux distributions for which you also have stores).
I am happy to hear of your interest in CafePress.com. At this time we do not offer Laptop Stickers as one of our products that you are able to customize. We currently offer over 120 customizable products including t-shirts, mugs, and other types of stickers. To see a list of the products that you can customize with your own unique slogans, artwork, or logos please visit the link below.
If there is anything else I can do for you please let me know.

To a time I vividly remember, when both of my grandmothers, and the one great-grandmother who was living, just automatically tied their aprons on when they entered the kitchen.
When did we quit doing that - when wash and wear came out and women were no longer slaves to a day (or more) of ironing for a large family?
I liked their aprons better than mine.
They were softer.
And they had rick-rack.
I want rick-rack.

It is suggesting that it might be. Redownload the part(s) that failed.

Annecy, France + Add a trip
- Not far from: Bourg-en-Bresse, Chambéry, Geneva, Grenoble, Lausanne, Saint-Priest
People on Dopplr have been to these places in Annecy
Q&A for Annecy
Dopplr asks "Where's good to explore in Annecy?"
Dopplr asks "Where's good to eat in Annecy?"
Getting There
If you're coming from Geneva hire a car on the Swiss side of the airport; the French side of the airport is difficult to find and their cars are not allowed on Swiss motorways without an additional charge. The journey to Cluses along the A40/E25 toll road takes only 40 minutes and from there it's another 40 minutes up to Les Gets.
Geneva airport is 50 miles and approximately an hour and thirty minutes away via the French toll motorways and the mountain road from Cluses (www.gva.ch). EasyJet, BA, Swiss Airlines and bmibaby fly from the UK.
Not really a convenient option beyond Geneva, although the nearest train station to Les Gets is in Cluses, about 40 minutes away.
Local Knowledge
Country code for France: +33. Les Gets: (0)4.
Do go / Don't Go
Les Gets is a year-round resort so it's a good option of summer holidays, too. Its immense ski area fully caters for every level of ability.
Savoyard cuisine is much more than cheese-heavy raclette, tartiflette and fondue although you should definitely try all of these; they'll certainly give you the energy to tackle the mountains. Smoked pork and wild mushrooms are frequently used and mountain berries make for spectacular desserts. For something lighter, delicious pike, perch and trout are caught in Lake Geneva and surrounding Alpine rivers.
Call Accès Taxi on +33 (0)6 09 33 99 44.
A service charge is normally added to your bill (service compris) in restaurants and cafés but it's still customary to leave a small tip. For taxi drivers, add 10 percent to the metered charge.
Worth Doing
Geneva is only a short drive away and has plenty of museums, galleries and boutiques to keep you entertained. The Art and History Museum has a particularly good collection of sculpture (www.ville-ge.ch/mah). Personally speaking though, we'd rather go and eat too much chocolate at the Arn Tea Rooms in the Old Town (www.swisschocolates.ch).
In the Summer months the Portes du Soleil region is a major mountain biking area. There is also excellent hiking with trails to the Swiss border and beyond; there's a great route from Super-Morzine to Châtel. It's possible to go white-water rafting and canyoning, or for something a bit more sedate there's a high-altitude golf course at Avoriaz.
At just over 2000 metres Chamossiere is one of the most accessible summits above Les Gets. It offers a fine view of Mont Blanc, Western Europe's highest mountain, a little further to the south.
Les Gets has a market on Thursday mornings where you can sample some of the local specialities. If you'd like a more in-depth look as the delicious local food then every Wednesday at 09h the Perrières dairy has a free tour of their fruitier where they make Reblochon and Abondance cheese (+33 (0)4 50 79 70 04).
Early January Mush along to the Savoie Mont Blanc Husky Race which has a stage at the Col de Cou between France and Switzerland. March The Ebouelle Contest features Freestyle and snowboarding competitions and lively DJ sets. September The Mont Blanc Motor Rally roars into town.

TED talks, "pay yourself in chard," shoeless Microsoft techies, Molly Moon ice cream--you don't have to be a current or ex-Seattleite to enjoy this funny book by Hollywood scriptwriter (Arrested Development) Maria Semple. If you've ever lived in a politically correct zone (Bloomington anyone?), you'll recognize many of the interpersonal dynamics pictured here. Where'd You Go, Bernadette [2]tells the story of a family—Bernadette, Bee, and Elgin Branch-- and their relationship to their child's school community.
Bernadette, a former architect and MacArthur genius award winner, has given up working on any creative projects to devote herself to her family. Her daughter Bee was born with a serious heart condition and for years Bernadette felt that she could not commit herself to any new designs due to her daughter's condition. But Bernadette, a woman full of prodigious talent and energy, has been driving herself and everyone around her nuts while her husband worked his way up the Microsoft hierarchy.
Minor Seattle annoyances set her off, say five-way traffic interchanges where one waits an eon for a turn at the green light. Too friendly Canadians provoke Bernadette's ire also. And turning her almost ballistic are messages from her daughter's private school that ask for volunteers. She ignores these but the fellow parents, whom she calls "gnats," mock her for her lack of community involvement--a major Seattle lapse. And then there are all those obnoxious Microsoft slogans that she must turn away from whenever she and Bee visit her husband's office.
Once long ago, Bernadette designed two wildly inventive buildings in LA using only local materials. Her name is still enshrined in architecture lore, but now she's battling her husband's employee and a neighbor, Audrey Griffin, who's on a crazybound track of her own.
The novel is made up of hundreds of e-mails, handwritten notes, transcripts, conversations, etc. many from Bernadette, some from her daughter, many from Audrey. Of course, a shrink becomes involved. Good thing she doubles as a post-traumatic stress counselor because Audrey's fundraiser with twenty singing kindergarteners is overrun by a cascading sea of mud from Bernadette's house. Audrey insisted that B. pull out all her blackberry bushes.
Meanwhile, Bee has chosen her prize for finishing elementary school with flying colors—a trip to Antarctica, but Bernadette has social anxiety issues. In fact, she's hired an Indian errand-runner, who manages myriad details from thousands of miles away. Except he's not really from India and he has all of her important bank numbers and passport info.
It's a fun rollicking ride full of lots of Seattle color and rainy weather humor, some at the great Emerald City's expense. But if you're in the mood for a book to brighten these dark winter days, this family's escapades will cheer you up.
Another quirky novel that both celebrates and pokes fun at an American city is John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces. [3]

Consumer Reviews of United States Stove Company wood furnaces
It's free, fast and safe
Read reviews of other Wood Furnace brands
Satisfaction Rating:
"Wonderful US Stove 1500 Outdoor Furnace"
About two years ago, I found myself in a position where I needed to purchase an outdoor furnace for my vacation home. It's a small cottage in the mountains and is really a reclusive spot. I came across this US Stove 1500 on the internet one day while searching. I ordered it and installed it myself. I found the furnace to be very easy to install. It runs quiet, and provides a good blast of heat and coverage. In two years of owning it, I have not had to do any maintenance or replacements on it whatsoever. It's held up great and I expect it to last for many years to come. I would definately buy the same brand of furnace again. I found their products to be of high quality.
Satisfaction Rating:
"Great Outdoor Furnace that Works Well"
We've had our outdoor furnace for about three years now. We like that it will take wood or coal either, though we've never tried coal in it. The only down side is that firewood is so expensive right now - at least in our area - so we only use it when absolutely necessary, such as right now, when the temperature is dropping into the mid to low 30s every night and our central heat can't keep up. Our house is a little bigger than the 3000 feet the furnace says it can handle, but it hasn't been a problem so far. It's keeping up with warming our house very well. We've never had to repair it, so that's great or saving money, as well. If it went out, I would definitely buy one again because our little central air unit can't quite keep up with our heating needs, and I would recommend it to a friend who needs a reliable way to warm their home.
Satisfaction Rating:
"Great addition to the house, I could not live with out my US Stove 1600EF Outdoor Furnace."
Overall, I am Very Satisfied with this furnace. I have had a few in the past and so far this work the best. I have only had this furnace for a few month and have only used it a handful of times, but i love it! I have a 2,800 sq ft house and this furnace can heat the house. It buts out 180,000 BTU, that is a lot. My only draw back was the price. But sometimes you have to pay for quality. I have not used it much , but i guess i will finally see how it really holds up in the winter. I live in Texas, so it will only be used for about a month. Hoping that this will last me 10 yrs. I have a few friends that are in the market for a new furnace and i have told them how easy this one it, NO headaches.
Satisfaction Rating:
"The US Stove 1600EF: a Solid Choice"
I like to get away from people, and since I mostly telecommute I can work anywhere that gets a satellite signal. I guilt a little cottage up near Copper Harbor a while ago, and I like to head up there a couple times a year to get away from the big city (my company is headquartered in Detroit). Since it's a monstrous inconvenience having a small town snake utilities out ten miles into the woods, I decided to heat with a self sufficient system. The 1600EF is a good heating unit for my needs. As advertised, it keeps the smoke and fuel out of your hair, which is important when you are working with very little space (I like to bring my painting kit and do landscapes in my free time too). A lot of folks might be leery about installing a furnace that's outside the house, especially in cold climates, but I've found that if it's properly installed it will heat your home just fine. The unit has been in place for three years now and has not needed repairs. I clean it whenever I come up to the cottage; once I had to replace the flue which had been damaged by birds (following some on-line recommendations I switched from metal only to metal in an insulated wooden enclosure, problem solved). I would hands down buy this unit again, although part of that is that the market is not saturated very well with outdoor furnaces, and it's an expensive purchase to take risks with. I would recommend the 1600EF to friends, with the caveat that you should make sure it will heat the size of building you install it to, Prospective owners should also be aware that with an outdoor furnace, you have to go outside to refuel it- I personally enjoy the bracing walk around back, but a nighttime stroll through horizontal sleet in December to throw wood in your furnace may not be for everyone.
Satisfaction Rating:
"Awesome outdoor wood furnace in Missoula, MT"
I have owned the US Stove Company outdoor wood burning furnace for about 6 months. It heats a primitive log cabin home that I own in Missoula, MT. I have also owned one other U.S. Stove Company furnace. This was a few years ago and I cannot remember the model but I was incredibly satisfied. This satisfaction was my reason for purchasing another US Stove Company furnace. I like my current furnace because it is incredibly easy to use and came with an awesome warranty. Also, it has heated my home consistently, meaning that the level of heat seems even. The only thing I dislike is the color. It looks like something that should sit outside of a nuclear power plant. As of yet I have had absolutely no issues with this furnace. I could not be happier with it's functioning. I would definitely purchase the same brand again, although I may shop around a bit more to find a better price.
Satisfaction Rating:
"Love My US Stove Company Furnace"
I am very pleased with our United States Stove Co. Furnace. We have had it since 2010 and have fallen in love with it. We have enjoyed having is ever since we purchased it. It saves us a ton of money in heating costs and we really enjoy having it. We have had absolutely NO complaints so far at all. We have the ability to burn spare tree limbs and stuff around the yard which is fantastic. It is a very economically smart move to have one of these. The initial cost is well worth it in the long haul. It is great on those cold, winter nights that we have! This machine is great; it is easy to load wood into and easier to operate (anyone can do it really). I recommend it to anyone who is looking to purchase such a machine. You cannot beat the quality of this one!

Taylor-Mitchell Eyes County Council Seat
The Towson resident known for her school advocacy sees vulnerability in Todd Huff's land use decisions.
An education advocate from Towson is considering challenging Baltimore County Councilman Todd Huff in the 2014 election. Laurie Taylor-Mitchell said Wednesday that she has formed an exploratory group to look at a run for the 3rd District seat currently held by Huff. Taylor-Mitchell said she believes zoning made last August by Huff make the first-term Republican vulnerable to a challenge. She said she would likely make land preservation—an important issue in a district that is mostly rural—and school construction her primary focus if she decides to run. That decision is not expected to come before late spring or early summer, she said. During that time, Taylor-Mitchell will test the waters. She already had a campaign website and has created…

Comments about DEX Products Insulated Feeding Bottles 2.5 Oz. 2-pack:
I am picky. A bottle for a nursing baby must be a close replication to the nipple and easy to use. This bottle uses the traditional way of heating a bottle by putting hot water in the outside container while the bottle with the milk screws on to the outside. Excellent, then the milk storage part is genius, I even read an editorial review of the product, where the reporter actually stored cows milk, pumped out the air, and let the milk sit, refrigderated, for 2weeks past expiration, and then drank it and testified that the milk was still good! Plus the price is right, and there is even an air flow mechanism to help baby stay gass free! I even use them now for my 9months old water bottles! love them and will keep this system way past baby time, I plan to use them for other perishables:)

DETROIT Where oh where is Valtteri Filppula and his offensive numbers.
After having a career-high 23 goals and 43 assists during the regular season, Filppula has just one assist through four games of the playoffs.
I havent really gotten frustrated, Filppula said after practice Thursday at Joe Louis Arena. Thats only going to slow you down. You just have to think positively. We hopefully still have a few more games to play. I just have to play through it and hopefully the puck starts going in.
Filppula has just nine shots over those four games, while averaging just under 20 minutes of ice time a night.
Wings coach Mike Babcock feels Filppula played his best game of the series in Game 4.
You know (Henrik) Zetterbergs line actually is in a lot of the offense and I think theyve done a good job, Babcock said. We wouldnt be talking about any of this stuff, but thats how playoff hockey is. (Jiri) Hudler hits the post and they come down and score instead of 2-1 for us, its 2-1 for them, thats the difference in the game.
His linemates have combined for three goals and one assist.
I think Fil is doing a good job, hes just got to trust his shot and shoot the puck a little bit more, but I think everyones like that, Babcock said.
Lidstrom coming back or retiring?
If the Wings lose in Game 5, Babcock still believes this isnt the last you will have seen of Nicklas Lidstrom. But hes been known to be wrong before.
Ive been hearing that same story for like five years now, Babcock said. The way I look at it is we have to win a game, so thats our approach. I havent thought much about Nick. When Nick decides to retire Im sure it will be his wife and then his kids, then I think the community, I dont know, then after that Ill hear it on the news somewhere. Who knows. Id be shock if he retires, but Ive been shocked before.
Lidstrom would not shed anymore light on it Thursday.
I think Ive learned from other years, I try to push that aside and just go out and try to play a real solid game and come out with a win, Lidstrom said. Ill look at that once the season is over, once your summer comes around and you start thinking about your future. It comes into your thought process then. The last couple of years its been like that, where I want to wait it out and make a decision afterward.
Still believe
The Wings are still clinging to last years postseason memories when they fell behind 3-0 in the Western Conference semifinals to San Jose before winning the next three to force a Game 7, which they eventually lost.
We rally around that a little bit, Henrik Zetterberg said. We did it recently. We know we can do it. We know weve been playing well. We were bad one game and that game we won, that was Game 2. Weve got a lot of believe in here. Were a good team. We just have to keep playing like we did last game and eventually were going to score.
I think the biggest thing is to keep believing in ourselves, sticking with the program and believe in what we do, Niklas Kronwall said. I think thats what we did really well last year, we stuck with it and kept throwing pucks at the net and we almost got away with it.
Nashville coach Barry Trotz doesnt have to be reminded of what the Wings did in last years series with the Sharks.
We know tomorrow is the biggest game of the year, Trotz said. Whatever is thrown at us will be the biggest game of the year. Hopefully we will be ready. We have to manage the puck a little bit better. We have to capitalize on our chances and we have been good at that.
Despite how bad the Wings have been on the road during the regular season, they did have a stretch of winning four in a row away from Joe Louis Arena Nov. 19 to Nov. 25.
You cant let it get to you, Zetterberg said. Were going to go in and just play a good game tomorrow and go out there and (force a Game 6).
Its one period at a time, its the standard, Cory Emmerton said. Youre not trying to win three games at once. It sounds like everyone would say that but its true. You have to win one. Thats all you can say about it. Go in there to Nashville for one game.

What's Tampa Bay Saying?
Assault Weapon Ban: Is it Time?
One Tampa Bay area lawmaker says yes. What do you think Tampa Bay?
Last Friday's massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., has prompted one local lawmaker to take up the charge to push Congress to pass two proposed gun control acts. U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Tampa, says it's time for Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines along with them. She's also urging Congress to close a loophole that allows the immediate sale of weapons at gun shows. "There is no reason people need access to assault weapons and high-capacity magazines," Castor said in a statement posted on her website. "Commonsense regulation is appropriate. It is time for us as a Congress and as a nation to take swift action. Congress should consider and pass the assault weapons ban this week." Castor is the …

Husk Withdraws from Super Search
Salem-Keizer Superintendent Sandy Husk announced this morning she has withdrawn from the Seattle superintendent search process.
"In my communication with people inside the district last week, it became apparent that there are competing approaches as to where the district should go and how it should get there," she said in a statement.
" I do not feel like I am a good match for that situation. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone in Seattle last week and I wish the best for the students, staff, board and community."
Husk is still in the running for a second position, which she has declined to discuss.
Well, will you look at that? I can hear the moaning all over town from the Times, the Alliance, LEV.
Tough. This process was a mess and the mega-control way didn't work well.
What this means, I don't know.

so we're back to acquiring a new supe by default? Didnt work out so well last time...
Board - start this search process again AND LET PARENTS IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR... - 4/30/12, 9:30 AM
- mirmac1 said...
We can start again or not. I am fine with Banda. I believe he would listen before forging in a solitary fashion. But I wanted Enoch and have been brokenhearted all day yesterday.
So the delusions/paranoia/rumor/fears/insider-fix-is-in BS was just that...Husk was NOT s shoo-in and the "powers that be" did NOT get their way.
BUT starting over might be the way to go here. Assuming that ANYONE would want a job where "competing interests" are a way of life.
Anastasia - 4/30/12, 9:41 AM
Ok, then let's talk about the merits of Banda. I was fine with him as a close number 2 to Enoch, who was my first pick, personally.
I thought he would be a good choice before. I still think so.
I don't like the way he might be getting the job. If he actually does get it and accept it. And I doubt that he would like how this is playing out either.
--Breathing a sigh of relief - 4/30/12, 9:45 AM
- mirmac1 said...
I would like to think that Banda would welcome Enoch's input - as many parents would as well. We would have the best of both worlds, a new superintendent with the community's interests at heart and one that would be open to consult with an "old hand" who still wants to help students and families.
Banda is a quality candidate - so this is NOT like getting left with a stinker like MGJ. - 4/30/12, 9:49 AM
They have to re-open the search.
This would be a terrible way for Banda or anybody to come in to this position.
Who would want to carry around the fact that he was selected by default?
Blech. - 4/30/12, 9:49 AM

Funny - I like Husk now more than I did before. She was able to see what the board and business interests in town might not have - her style did not match the community.
Ed Voter - 4/30/12, 9:50 AM
Wow, wow....
would not be surprised if Banda is next. - 4/30/12, 9:50 AM
- Patrick said...
Memo to the board for next time they do a superintendent search: interview four or five finalists, not just three.
Well, good for Dr. Husk - recognizing that the playing field was really a batlefield is points in her favor.
What that says to me is that the pro-LEV and Anti-LEV groups need to stop battling each other and come together like grownups - find the middle ground and work together for a while to get the ship that is SPS back on course.
Let's face it - we all have some blame in making the situation here untenable/unattractive/undesirable.
But it would take ALL sides of the agenda, together, to make some headway. - 4/30/12, 9:52 AM
DeBell has been an awful leader. As a matter of fact, his actions only serve to further divide the board. It is time for DeBell to take leadership 101 and learn to build consensus.
Time to move on. - 4/30/12, 9:52 AM
If Banda was only going to get one or two votes, then yes, they have to reopen the search. But if they liked him anyway but this saves them from a vocal minority campaigning for Husk, then no, there's no reason to drop him and reach for a fourth or fifth choice candidate.
Enoch should be approached about being Director of Special Ed.
I did not feel confident when Banda said he wouldn't come in and change things immediately. In some areas of the district that is like watering the tulips when rome is burning.
Re-open the search supporter - 4/30/12, 9:57 AM
- Melissa Westbrook said...
Patrick, I agree; intro more than 3 as we continue to have this issue.
Also, yes good for Husk wanting to be in a place that wanted her style of leadership. I said all along she was smart.
Someone said, I am working on getting unity with ed reform groups. It's a matter of getting the right people to the table AND having the right person to guide the discussion. - 4/30/12, 9:57 AM
Banda I can live with I suppose. Worse to take the default candidate or reopen the search? Anyone's guess.
This is admittedly catty, but I just really like the idea of certain Corporate Reform leaders, not to mention DeBell euphamistically soiling themselves right now. Trying to cut out the public just made the public scream louder. Business interests, corporate reformies and political insiders are NOT the only game in town. Not now. Not ever. Get over it.
I hope Morris, Korsmo, Varner and ESPECIALLY DeBell learned their lesson. BAM.
DistrictWatcher - 4/30/12, 9:57 AM
Wonder if Varner will send out another snarky tweet -as in saving face?
Any new tweets from Lynne Varner yet on this departure from the search?
She sure found it fitting to tweet yesterday when Enoch left.

- Dora Taylor said...
Some people still think of LEV and SFC as actual organizations made up of regular folks like parents, teachers, students and concerned citizens but they are not that. They do not have memberships, they have financial backers who control their focus and their message.
Sure, I'll sit down with Bill Gates and talk education but sitting down with his mouthpiece is not going to get anyone of us anywhere. - 4/30/12, 10:08 AM
- Maureen said...
How likely is it that candidates dropping out are just doing it after a heads up from the Board that they won't be selected--as a face saving measure? It may be that the last man standing is the one who the Board has indicated they will select. I'm not holding it against Banda. I'm looking forward to the energy and perspective he will bring to the job.
To quote Melissa:
Welcome to our District. What can I do to help? - 4/30/12, 10:12 AM
Well Dora - respectfully, that's exactly the attitude that they have about this side of the coin - they don't see the anti-LEV crowd as approachable, worth talking to either. I commend Melissa for recognizing the need and support her efforts - it's easy to naysay, it's hard to go ahead and try anyway.
go Melissa! - 4/30/12, 10:13 AM

I don't know, Someone said...
Some of us are trying in earnest to help this district do right by our kids. But others seem intent on subverting the democratic process, whether it's by trying to curtail the power of our elected board members to represent us, or trying to fabricate consensus on behalf of their favorite issues or candidate(s).
It's hard to have an honest dialogue when some are paid to push a certain point of view, while others are mere parent volunteers who have little resources or connections to greater forces.
I think there may be some common ground we can all agree on, but we would need to subtract any political or outside agendas if we really are serious about working together and helping all the children of this district do well in school. - 4/30/12, 10:16 AM
- Dora Taylor said...
But who exactly is "LEV"?
We will not get anywhere talking to someone who is just filled with talking points. If you want to make headway, you talk to the people who are really controlling their message.
You sit down with the Chamber of Commerce, with a Bill Gates, a Don Neilson who started this whole reform agenda in Seattle. You talk to the people who are filling the Alliance coffers. That's where you start. You start at the source.
Oh yeah, and include a few educators along the way. They might actually know what they are talking about. - 4/30/12, 10:19 AM
Sue P: EXACTLY.
Korsmo is paid by high tech millionaires in Seattle. MacFarlane at 'Democrats' for Ed Reform is paid by high tech billionaires in NYC. Campion at Stand on Children is paid by union busters in WA D.C. Morris is paid a six figure salary by local business interests.
Parents and activists: No pay. Lots of grief.
The playing field of resources is staggeringly unequal.
And still, anti-Corporate Reform voices ARE making a bit of a difference. Witness: No Husk coming to Seattle.
-Skeptical- - 4/30/12, 10:23 AM
Banda was just announced as the new superintendent pick.
hopeful - 4/30/12, 10:29 AM
"I did not feel confident when Banda said he wouldn't come in and change things immediately."
Actually, this is what I found the most appealing in Mr. Banda. It is very disruptive to come in and immediately go about changing things. He needs to go out and talk to parents, teachers, principals,community, and business leaders prior to making any changes. He also needs to assemble his own adminstrative team. At some point he will organize the district his way. He is a smart guy.
I have the confidence that he is just the person who can
-and I am borrowing this from another poster - mend and tend this district.
- Dora Taylor said...
I believe that it is definitely worth the fight, battling the corporatization and privatization of our school system in Seattle
I am reading Death of the Liberal Class by Chris Hedges and I don't want to be one of those liberals who lies down bravely to die.
The book is a must read. - 4/30/12, 10:30 AM

Good news on Banda. I will consider this a new day for our district.
Now let's get busy.

Re-Open the Search said: I did not feel confident when Banda said he wouldn't come in and change things immediately. In some areas of the district that is like watering the tulips when rome is burning.
Completely disagree. If he, or anyone else, came in with guns a-blazin' ready to make all kinds of pre-determined changes, especially without having expert knowledge of the city and our district, THAT would have been a big red flag.
Could you imagine stepping in to run a district in Texas that you'd only started paying close attention to a few weeks ago? Do you know anything about the people, the history, the politics, the policies?
I'm quite please that he isn't going to come in here and raise hell from day one. That was MGJ's mindset, and look what it got us. A mess. No, make that several messes. - 4/30/12, 10:52 AM
Oops, looks like I just unintentionally echoed MC. That's what happens when a thread is active and you don't refresh often enough! I agree, MC.
One side note though. Something Susan Enfield has done a good job of is improving her executive staff. I do hope Banda doesn't bring in a whole new administrative team right away. Of course there will be a few replacements, but what we have right now is a significant upgrade from a year ago. - 4/30/12, 10:56 AM
Ok, Banda is our guy. He said he would listen first. (I agree that this statement was not necessarily a bad sign at all. And, in fact, was likely a good one.)
I agree with Dora--let's get busy.
What is the best way to ensure that the new super hears parents and educators concerns?
--FedMomof2 - 4/30/12, 11:05 AM
Dora/Sue don't get me wrong I totally agree it's not an easy task and that it's most decidedly not a level playing field. I am playing something of a devil's advocate here, because while I do think both sides of the "ed reform" debate contribute to the kind of discord that we've witnessed at SPS, I also don't believe money should automatically mean one gets a bigger voice at the table.
But frankly, if we all want change at SPS, we ALL need to recognize where we might be contaminating rather than contributing.
Now if we could just get the Board to start thinking along those lines....:o) - 4/30/12, 11:06 AM
- Charlie Mas said...
If Mr. Banda gets this job, please do not say he got it by default. He was one of three finalists selected from over 40 applicants.
He would not have been selected as a finalist if he were not an acceptable choice. - 4/30/12, 11:35 AM
with Someone on this.
Smart move for Dr. Husk to come in with 2 choices and had a getaway plan. She may have the approval of the power that be, but not necessarily the community buy in. Remember, what gets shove down our throat has to go somewhere. You can't hide it.
Education is the cause celebre in these political times. But you can't just pay attention to numbers in data warehouse and test results as if they exist in a vacuum. You can't fool people by using poor or underachieving kids, while neglecting many other subset of kids like ELL, Spec Ed, AL and the majority of average achieving kids. You can't just fall for the latest, (expensive) marketplace education gimmick to be your one size fit all panacea.
You can't demand accountability from kids, teachers, parents and communities while taking little accountability of yourselves as politicians, administrators, and board members when it comes to fiscal management of our tax dollars, or ignoring federal and district's rules/guidelines when they're an inconvenience. It isn't ok to go $10's of millions over budget on a reno project or not having good, transparent financial accounting in place while asking us for billion more of tax dollars.
Politicians and kingmakers in Seattle are too comfortable and have taken for granted their one party domination. It leads to complacency and corruption. That needs to change. You need to see the damage caused when you neglect big swath of your voting, taxpaying public. There's a limit on how much we can take, how much we are left out and feel powerless, how much our kids' classrooms and learning are neglected while how much our taxes go up every year. You can't keep fooling us.
PS mom - 4/30/12, 11:44 AM
I would like to contribute that anyone coming in to this interview process as one of the top 10, or especially the top 3, expecting the salary that they do, better know about the district that they are proposing they come in to run. If either Enoch or Husk have pulled out due to 'finally' understanding the lay of the land here and not feeling that they are a "good fit"-such as the competing interests, strong pressure from the monied education reform crowd, under-performance of schools-I can only think that they sure as hell didn't do their homework/prepwork in advance. Neither deserve the position. No thanks to either of them for wasting our children's time that as in short supply.
And I too am appreciative of Banda saying that he would not change alot of things 'right away'. It is more respectful to come to know the lay of the land, and move forward repectfully, something I found SORELY lacking in MGJ the first time I had any interaction with her.
Two and a quarter years to go - 4/30/12, 11:55 AM
- Jan said...
I just wanted to throw my hat in with dw, CM, and others who think that it is a positive that Mr. Banda is not arriving with a preprinted model for change. That was EXACTLY what MGJ did -- board reform (from the very first board retreat with the non-criticizing statement they all had to sign), curricular reform (I still remember thinking -- why is she doing this? We HAVE alignment! This is not a problem here. She is fixing something that is not broke!). It was all just scripted (like the stuff she wanted teachers to do, I guess) from pages x and y of an Ed Reform playbook. No clue about alts. No sense of the merits of choice in the NSAP. No knowledge of (or willingness to learn) the history of things like co-housing APP with a neighborhood program (which Stanford rightly said we should never do again). MAP tucked under one arm, instructional coaches under the other, and Kennedy in tow. AACK!
How might things have been different if MGJ had been willing to look at the history of Summit and the AE1 communities; if we had done NOVA's version of project management instead of the expensive, boondoggly NTN one, if she had taken to heart Stanford's statement that APP should never again be co-housed with a neighborhood school, if she had looked more closely at the West Seattle issues before closing Cooper? If she had taken seriously the effort needed to turn RBHS around BEFORE implementing the NSAP, which was what was SUPPOSED to happen.
The list goes on and on. But when you "know" what a district needs without even observing or asking -- these are the kinds of bad results you get. One thing I will say for Dr. E -- by the time she got the job, she KNEW a lot of this stuff. It doesn't make all of her decisions good ones -- but it saved things like science curricula at Ballard and GHS, etc.
Good for Mr. Banda for wanting to figure out where we are, what we need, and what we can afford to do before making a ton of changes. - 4/30/12, 3:12 PM
- Jan said...
Charlie -- I agree with your comment on "default," but am realizing that to be consistent -- it means I have to stop dinging MGJ for having gotten the job the same way. She too was one of 3 final contestants. I no longer recall whether the withdrawals of the others had to do with indications that they might not be picked -- my recollection is not -- that she was actually NOT the first pick. But that is a quibble. If I am going to accord the decision to select Mr. Banda the validity you suggest -- and I am, I have to renounce my uncharitable position on MGJ the last time through.
But -- I will say this. I don't think ANY of us had a clue at the time what "ed reform" was really all about, and what an "ed reform" superintendent would do to this district. I certainly didn't. I assumed she was just a "regular person" -- like Manhas, Olshefske, Stanford, etc. before her. Had I a CLUE what a "Broad superintendent" meant -- I would have been totally flipping out. - 4/30/12, 3:16 PM
- mirmac1 said...
Oh Yeah Jan. Knowing what I know now about Broad, I was "flipping" this weekend. What is it, (menopausal mood swings?) but I was looking at Husk like she was a recurring nightmare. May not be fair, but by all indications...
"If Mr. Banda gets this job, please do not say he got it by default. He was one of three finalists selected from over 40 applicants.
He would not have been selected as a finalist if he were not an acceptable choice."
Absolutely. Additionally, Banda was selected on Sunday night. Husk announced she didn't want the position on Monday morning. Don't let anyone rewrite history. - 4/30/12, 6:57 PM
What's with the false dichotomy of bloggers supposedly being just as guilty as poisoning or "contaminating' the environment as the Big Ed Reform crowd? Are you watching too much CNN, Someone?
How is it that parents who oppose the destruction of strong schools, programs, and teachers who do great work every day are somehow "contaminating" the environment by forewarning potential S.I. Candidates with "We've been there, so don't go there(s)?"
Sure, we all wish everyone could be the proverbial "adults in the room," but as Dora points out, citing Chris Hedges' brilliant book, you don't get very far by making deals with the devils. Some ideas are just wrong, destructive, ill-conceived, and disrespectful. LEV, SFC, and now the Alliance act like bullies and DC lobbyists, arm-twisting legislators and co-opting local groups for supposed "support." They play dirty, misrepresent facts and bash teachers. I am not okay with that, and I will never be okay with that. Sorry. No deals can be reached with people like that. Bullies don't respond until they taste their own medicine. Reason and logic have no place at their tables.
That's what I've witnessed in SPS, though I wish it weren't that way. WSDWG - 5/1/12, 8:56 PM
