Congratulations Reading High Boys Basketball

First year coach Tim Redding should be Coach of the year. He has proven that even with discipline problems his team can rise to a higher level to win.

Security In Schools ???

Reading Eagle article in today's Reading Eagle B-1. Every School District other than Reading evidently sees the value of a Police Officer in their schools.
Keith Stamm was the only yes Vote to pay for police at the High School.This is one more reason to run for School Director of the Reading School District.

Condom Research

Just one more shining example of Reading High School. I'm hopeful this is another reason that people become involved and run for office. Was this Karen McCree's legacy as Board President?

We even have protection at meetings.

Definitions That Need To Be Read

Assault: An unlawful attempt or threat to injure another physically.


Harassment: Behavior intended to disturb or upset.


Do you think I was Attacked(Assaulted) or Harassed ?

Weapons Search

Why not use Sniffing Dogs for weapons search ? Then they could also check Reading High School for Drugs. Would the Famous Reading School Board allow that to happen?

Thank You Very Much 91,000 Plus Hits

Thanks for all the support I have received. Thanks for making this site such a success.

When will we get Last Years Tax Bills ?

Pasbo report calls for more employees in the business office. Pretty soon 8th and washington can hold just the business department. Pasbo stands for Pennsylvania School Board Association.

Thank You

A special thanks to all the people who were concerned about my safety. Juan please don't feel bad that you weren't able to stop the attack.You were on another floor of the Administration building and didn't have any idea that I was being attacked.

Is Security Needed ?

Future safety of Public Officials: Should a Policeman be at Future Meetings?,Should all people who enter the Administration Building be checked for weapons? This is in reference to today's Reading Eagle 1/24/09.

Congratulations Boy's Basketball

Congratulations to first year coach Tim Redding and Reading High School Boy's basketball on win number (15).Reading defeated my Alma mater Exeter 55-46.

Democrat or Republican { Right or Wrong }

Why can't people just do the Right or Wrong thing. Keep it Simple like President Ronald Reagan. The right thing to do is make Reading High School a safe place again.

How do you do that ? ::: Bring back the Reading Police Officers,Stop students from roaming the halls,Change is good, so Why not move some administrators???,Discipline the students that are trouble.Eighty percent of the students at Reading High School are good.Why should 20% ruin it for the rest?

Barnhardt Predicts More Millage Hikes

Why predict this? Why can't you ask School Boards to look at all costs? Where the money is hidden? What do they spend money on? Conferences that are basically vacations paid with Taxpayer monies? National School Board conventions that you can watch on film.

I think if you eliminate all food at meetings and all trips outside the state of Pa. you would be able to pay School Directors. Hey it might be a cheaper way to go?

Maintenance Issues At Reading School District

Ceiling Tile that was hanging by a thread at the Geigle Complex was fixed Thursday 1/15/09. Thank you to the people involved.There are still some stained ceiling tiles that need to be replaced. This was reported to Bill Knowles and Barry Suski in November.

Today the heat isn't working properly at SouthWest.Barry Suskie was notified because Bill Knowles and Steve Kennedy are on vacation.Unfortunately I had to become involved to have something corrected.

Please report anything that appears to be a safety issue to management and make a copy of it for future reference.

Where's The Beef?

Instead of "Where's The Beef",it is Where's The Salt??? I received several phone calls about sidewalks and parking lots not being salted.I know two trucks were in on Sunday overtime.What did these men do ???

This is just one more reason for my GPS tracking system.People just don't seem to learn by their mistakes.

Congratulations Boys Baketball

12-3 record deserves Congratulations: Impressive to say the least was Xavier Mumford's two Slam Dunks. X played great Defense and stayed focused in last nights
12th win.
For the Critics of Coach Redding
Remember, 1st year coach Tim Redding was hired aprroximately 3 weeks before the season started.

Reading School Directors Please Wakeup

What will it Take? A student to be killed or seriously paralyzed before the Reading School Board votes to bring back two police officers that were at Reading High School.Our famous Mayor McMahon removed them under Board President McCree's watch.

Now that the City of Reading funded The Pagoda for $1,000,000 and The Goggle Works for another $1,000,000 they are Broke. For everyones information The Goggle Works also wants The Reading School District to give The Goggle Works over $100,000 for students to go there. The Reading School District has waived their Tax Bill.Can the Reading School District waive my Tax bill?

Daniel Boone - Stonersville

Very interesting article in today's Reading Eagle sec.B-1 on descendant of Daniel Boone.It would have been a good idea for Daniel Boone homestead to have Harveys knowledge about the Boone family.

Research This And Think

Google search Corruption Chronicles and read about Record Fraud in Chicago's public schools. Are there schools in Pennsylvania that operate their District the same way?

Congratulations Boys Basketball

Wilson High School

Even Wilson High School has a resource officer on duty.( Todays Reading Eagle )The Reading School Board with all their wisdom evidently think that police aren't needed at the High School.

It Is A Shame Why does this happen?

When some current Board members cannot say hello to a former student Nelson Diaz. Why does this happen? Is it because they don't agree with his political views? Are they jealous of his success? Are these same board members just ignorant?

Vote On Charter School

I did not Vote on Charter School because of the rules of voting.The solicitor for the school district insisted that I had to be at the hearing.I would have voted for it because I think the parents of Reading need an alternative for their children.

Most parents in the City of Reading cannot afford a private school and this would give them an alternative.

Follow The Money Trail

Today's Philadelphia Inquirer Rendell Pay To Play Scheme: Corey Kemp and Bond Swaps.
Ask yourself Who did these Swaps: The City of Reading?,The Reading School District?,Berks County? Keith Stamm requested another opinion before the School district did a Bond Swap.Dennis Kelley (school district finance manager advised the school board not to enter into a Swap.)The School Board wanted to make Keith out to be some nut case.I guess Keith was pretty smart on this issue.

Congratulations To Reading High Girls Basketball

I'm sorry I missed the game last night. I was driving around Red Lion for at least (1) hr.

Congratulations Reading High School Boys Basketball

To the team: Stay focused with your mind being on Basketball.If you do this and listen to Coach Redding you will be unstopable.Defense is still the key to having a fabulous team.

To Marcus and Trinity: I enjoy the Dunks more then anyone but you could of won last nights game by at least (10) points if the missed Dunks would have been easy layups.

Archive Files Are Worth Checking

This Blog started over three years ago at the suggestion to create it from my campaign chairman.

Philadelphia @ Reading ? Money Trail

Why do Reading tax monies go to Philadelphia? Why do water and sewer bills from Reading also go to Philadelphia? Why can't a local bank handle these monies? Do the people in power Trust people in Philadelphia more then in Reading?

Is this a Democratic party iniative? Do we avoid Republicans by sending it to Philadelphia? I'm just asking questions for open and public debate.What are the true answers to these questions? The Truth Will Set You Free!

The Pagoda ( Did You Know ? )

The Pagoda is seven stories high,28 feet wide and 50 feet long.It stands 620 feet above the city of Reading and 886 feet above sea level.There are a total of 87 steps to the top. The observation room was originally an open-air lookout.On a clear day you can see a 30-mile panoramic view.
