	How it COULD play out May 25, 2010 This could be our future and it may not. Nothing is written in stone and it is nothing more than speculation, not an assumption, but a tale maybe at best. Now we have a way out providing the necessary and painful adjustments are made to benefit the...
	Outsourced May 24, 2010 I think I know how we can reduce our costs in the education system. I just watched a movie recently called Outsourced. I was about this guy who worked for this company in the U.S. and his company decided to move their sales department to India....
	My Opinion of Thursday May 13, 2010 Board Meeting May 14, 2010 Thursday May 13, 2010 Board Meeting I don't know where to begin. Let me try here. In 2007 a levy was passed that was an apportioned levy and I'm not going to go into it here, so you will have to look back at previous posts in 2007 that...
	Thursdays Board Meeting April 23, 2010 I attended the Board Meeting Thursday night and was presented with a couple presentations that were well produced. One was on the technology the district implemented this year and has a very promising note to it. However, I was a little dismayed on...
	Streetsboro School Levy April 21, 2010 Think about this. In 2009 just before the November ballot, the Superintendent stated that 85% of the funds generated by the levy would be used for Salaries and Benefits. The levy was to generate $4,011,000 a year. 85% of that would be $3,409,350.00...

	You better respond to that letter Streetsboro April 25, 2008 This is to all the good citizens of Streetsboro Recently we all received a letter in the mail that many including myself thought was a no respond letter. This is from Direct Energy aggregation and if you don't respond to it by phone or by letter you will be enrolled in a program sponsored by the city to take over...
	Onions to the new Mayor for his decisions April 23, 2008 I think the mayors decision to take away the city towing from Streetsboro Auto & Truck is unfair and unjust just because a person complains. I wonder if this Zeigler fella has ever had his car towed by this company and didn't like it? This company has been towing cars in this town for a long long time. Some people...

	Girls' Soccer Sees Less Traditional Success October 6, 2007 Many times in sports we measure success by wins and losses. It's hard not to. So many times in our lives we are classified as either winners or losers. I have had the delight to work with and watch the girls' soccer team at Streetsboro High School this...
	PTA votes yes for the Levy, except for 3 September 28, 2007 At the recent PTA meeting, we voted to be "FOR" or "Against" the levy. Everyone attending the meeting voted yes except for 3 people. My question is why did you bother to come to the meeting? If you could afford $5 to join the PTA don't you think you could afford $5-$10 for the passage of the...
	Onions to the mayor and the city council September 5, 2007 The mayor of Streetsboro has always told me personally that he strives to give the local businesses the opportunites that arise in the city. I think he is giving the city the business. I heard a story about out of town companys coming into town at the request of certain police officers because they dont like getting complaints from the...

	Why are we paying the police to sit in their cars June 25, 2007 During the so called widening of SR 14, The police officers sit in their running car all day long with there sirnen lights on.
