KraftMaid requests incentive payment despite layoff plans
Cabinet company was offered $3.2 million from Utah to build a facility in West Jordan
By Lesley Mitchell
The Salt Lake Tribune
West Jordan, Utah: KraftMaid Cabinetry may be laying off workers at its West Jordan facility, but that isn't stopping the Middlefield, Ohio, company from demanding incentive money from Utah.
On Friday, KraftMaid acknowledged it was laying off workers at its 840,000 square-foot facility due to reduced demand for cabinets amid the nation's housing downturn. ...

Scott -
I am not a big TV buff but I found this program last night at 9:00 PM called "TRUTV-Most Daring-Fighting Back". Anyhow, it is what is suggests. Criminals are being criminals but the victims fight back. It's fun to watch but when you stop and think about the reality, it's actually very serious and it's amazing these people don't get killed. The 100% sure fire cure to getting the criminals or at least defending yourself is the use of a gun. There are a wide variety of items people use for their protection, the the trusty old gun gets the perps running away as fast as they can.

| A letter to Ms. McIntee - board business |
|
Posted By: Scott Weber |
05/08/2008 @ 09:56 AM |
|
Blog Readers: On Monday night at the Berkshire School three taxpayers and/or parents spoke to the school board. Mr. Mark Rhoades was first, I was second and Terri McIntee was third. Ms. McIntee said several statements concerning our comments, but given Board President John Manfredi's rules of order, we were not allowed to address each other. At the April board meeting a very disruptive fellow attempted to debate members of the audience (as well as cussing them and making comments under his breath), so Manfredi wisely went over the rules of engagement prior to the "Public Participation" segment of the meeting. Here is the response Mr. Rhoades ...

Berkshire taxpayer and parent Mark Rhoades sent an E-Mail to each of the Berkshire School Board members several days ago and he finally got a response from ONE OF THEM. Hmmm... And it's more than one line... Hmmm.... Here is the letter. My comments follow.
****************
Mr. Rhoades - Your input as a member of the community is appreciated and was definitely heard. I am on the negotiating team as well as John Manfredi, correct. As Pres of the Board, he spoke correctly regarding the position that the board "team" is taking w/ negotiations and that we cannot discuss the details until the contract ...

| Is Reedy our man for SUPER? |

As you know, the Berkshire Schools are in a bit of a pinch: In two short months we are not going to have a Super or a Treasurer. Super Knapp is retiring after 39 years of education (man, after that much of education, ANYONE would need a break) and we burned the treasurer out by having her attempt to handle two districts at once! Oh my... I think now the board looks back and realizes what a bonehead move that was...
So this Monday, May 12 at 7pm-9pm this community can examine the two finalists for Berkshire Superintendent: Mr. Steeve Reedy our present Jr./Senior High principal ...

Scott...Allow me to throw in my "two cents" about a few things...
We've heard the old saying about "too much gun"...It not only applies to hunting
but also to training our youngsters about the safe use of firearms...Common
sense would tell us that you don't teach a 5-year-old how to shoot by giving him
or her a 50 caliber Browning machine gun! You start SMALL with a BB or 22
caliber rifle (for example)...Then they graduate to larger guns as they get older...
When I read your tragic story about the mother letting her teen-age son drive a
Porsche 928,I asked myself this question: What ...

Open letter to Berkshire School Board |

Blog Readers: The following letter by a Berkshire parent was sent to all of the Berkshire Board Members who have E-Mails: John Manfredi, Val Timmons and James Koster (Roger Miller and Tim Honkala don't have computers and/or do not list an E-Mail with the board office...). The letter was also sent to Mr. Reedy and Super Knapp. As of today, the writer has not received any kind of a reply. And these board members and administrators want US to pass a levy in a few short months for THEM? Hmmm... They better get some better Public Relations and Communication moving before that happens. Here is the Berkshire parent's letter. My comments ...
