Moving the polls out of the schools is a security issue.

GAM - I have a couple questions for you and I am not speaking rhetorically: first do you think removing public voting from the schools is a bad idea (because it sounds like you do)? If so, why? Your username states you are a mom in this community - well so am I and I am all for removing voting from our schools. It is a security issue to have the school doors unlocked all day long, especially when there are other public venues in the community where voting can just as easily be held and there aren't numerous small defenseless potential victims. SECONDLY, let me point out that I can tell from your posts that you feel strongly about what you are stating, which is fine and good, but is it that hard to do so in a respectful manner? We are all residents in this little village and calling people names, such as "tool" is really uncalled for. Kim Amidzich is a mom too - her kids go to school here as well. Why would she not want the very best for our schools and our (and her) kids? I certainly am not privy to the inside story of the district admin, but perhaps the role she is currently playing is just to help as best she can while the district struggles to find some calm at this time and figure out the best way to move forward?

ReplyI can't think of a better person to win this award than Donna. I have enjoyed working with her on various projects both at Highland View when are kids were both there and throughout the community. She is definitely an asset to our village! Congrats Donna!

ReplyDave- Can you (or anyone else) tell me what year classes were first held at Highland View Elementary? Was it 1961-62 or 1962-63? I need to know for a project I am doing at the school... no one seems to know the answer, I even checked with the school administration.

On the article POLL: Should 'Outsiders' Trick-or-Treat in Your Neighborhood?

ReplyA few years ago the trick-or-treat hours for Greendale were 1-4pm and 4-7pm in Franklin. My kids had always wanted to go when it was dark, probably b/c I had told them that's what I had done as a kid, so after we made the rounds in our neighborhood, we headed over to a nice subdivision just 'across the border.' Boy did we ever get some strange looks and not-so-nice reactions at the door by the residents. Some even asked where we were from. I thought "how could it be so obvious?" The kids were small and in costume, we parked at the entrance to the subdivision and walked the whole way and it was during the publicized T-or-T hours. I did notice there were not that many other kids going door to door however. Finally, one nice lady told me many of the residents were having a big bonfire/Halloween block party a few streets over. I guess that is one way to make sure 'outsiders' don't show uip in your neighborhood. I know WE left right after that!
Personally, I don't care who shows up at my door for candy, as long as they are in costume - even teenagers. I feel bad if I run out of candy, which is rare, but then I just turn off my light and put a note on the door that says "Sorry, out of candy."

ReplyMaybe they should have a community fundraiser or sell t-shirts to help raise the money?

Bren - no one is advocating removing easy access to public voting. There are plenty of alternate locations in the village besides the public schools. The 'traditional way' is not always the best way. Changes in society and common sense sometimes call for a reevaluation of how to do things. In this case, why wait until some tragedy happens to make it harder for the bad guys to get into our schools? I am guessing you do not have children in the Greendale schools. If you attended any recent PTO meetings where this topic had come up, you would know that the majority of parents in attendance are all for removing voting from our schools so they can remain locked during the day.
