On Local bar and grill burglarized early today
Posted on November 21 at 9:04 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
truth teller:
where do you get your information There is NO WAY a bar with 5 cherry machines haul in that kind of money. If we assume $250,000 at 365 days, the machines are typically set to pay out 80% of what they take in. That would be $2740 a DAY going through the machines. That is roughly $45 to 60 an hour going through each machine constantly. Have you ever been in a bar that has that kind of people plugging money in? I've worked in 8 different bars and I've never seen it. So truthteller, it may be the truth in your mind but the math doesn't add up in reality.

And if the Native Americans and the government lottery can do it, why not the mom and pop bar owner, most of them aren't skipping town to spend weekends in the Bahama's etc.
On High schools locked down for drug search
Posted on November 19 at 7:04 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Alleycat as a teacher at Craig I was on hall duty during the lockdown and there were NO dogs in the building. At the end of the lock down Dr. Kuehne announced that the lock down was done in concert with a search of the parking lots by drug dogs. At no time did anyone in authority say there were dogs in the school. Don't let what your child heard as rumors lead you to believe that your child was lied to. And yes, all the cars in the lot where searched no matter who they belonged to.
On High schoolers could lose lunch freedom
Posted on November 18 at 7:03 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Unfortunately at lunch every day there are 18 to 21 year old who hang around Craig and Parker. They are not there to sell cookies or talk about getting a better education. Since the restraunts are on public property there is little to be done, but these older often unemployed "punks" are a bad influence on many freshman (where do you think the highschoolers get their cigarettes). I fully support the desire to keep the freshman away from these bad influences.
On What does children's museum vote mean?
Posted on November 18 at 5:33 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I agree Mrs. Joe. While there are benefits to a children's museum do we have the money while we are cutting schools and the Talman House. I would put this second behind the bike tunnel as the biggest miss use of funds. I went to the bike tunnel site after talking to a friend last Friday. I'm outraged that they would build a tunnel there when they could put up freeway style guard rails to make people go to the stop light 50 feet away. If people jump the guard rails and get hit by a car its their own fault. Stop wasting MY MONEY!!
On School district IT head resigns after computer system meltdown
Posted on November 15 at 8:46 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
What is also being missed here is that the district and Mr. Bunton failed completely at communicating with the teaching staff. Until Colleen Neumann had the courage to call the Gazetter, teachers had basically ZERO information about what was going on. We could not plan classes because we had no idea what would work each day, or when or if it would work. Again there was no communication from anyone at the ESC and we as educators where left trying to pick up the pieces with rumors flying everywhere. The Studer Groups pillar of communication certainly has lots of cracks in it.
On Couple helps Craig from behind the lens

As a Craig coach in the booth during varsity games, I can't praise them enough. There are many times during the game I'll turn to them and ask what they just saw happen. They almost always have an answer. They are truly a valuable part of both programs. It is giving and positive people like them that makes Craig a great place to work.
On Cocaine discovery prompts investigation
Posted on November 4 at 9:11 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Luckily spacejam we have that old piece of paper called the constitution and something about innocent until proven guilty. I teach my students about laws and responsibility and the horrors goverments run with uncontrolled power and fear.
**
As a teacher, I would NEVER submit to a voluntary DNA test. I was sitting in our teachers lounge just today and two kids walked right in. I asked them what they were doing, and they said just buying a soda. I told them not unless they were just hired as teachers.
**
We've had banquets at our school, construction workers walking through etc. Walk around any high school in the area and I'll bet you can walk into any of the teachers lounges and bathrooms. Unless, they test everyone in the state every month, I'm out.
**
And I hope if that day comes, we have another revolution. Because the total domination of our lives is exactly why their was a revolution in these parts some 200 years ago. Hopefully the fear mongers like you and most of the mainstream media never drive us to that!
On Craig opens playoffs against Tremper
Posted on October 24 at 9:48 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
The playoffs are set somewhat by record the top four teams in the area get the best seeds. Middleton was 8-1 we were 5 -4 they get an easier game. However, I would say that we have a decent chance of beating Tremper.
On Five weeks for school computer fix
Posted on October 15 at 8:46 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I'm drawing a blank, but it is Brandon can't be sure of the last name I want to say Masterson. He is the SON of an administrator. I believe she is a principal.
***
Again, I would just like communication and questions answered. We as teachers don't know what is wrong, we don't know what will be available when. Will we EVER get our files back?
***
I just brought home lesson prepping materials, sadly because I can get on Skyward from home so I could enter grades, but didn't bring home gradebook. Sorry kids. Why can I get on at home but NOT at school? Isn't it just a secure website?
***
I honestly think there needs to be a board investigation into this. Anything that dramatically effects ALL the students through ALL their teachers for over two months needs investigating not just by administrators on the way out but by our elected officials who aren't trying to protect people.
