Who would have ever thought that I would be the voice of reason?

That is an easy one. They just hired a new Asst. Superintendent last night and I would bet the cost is close to 100K per year. The administration has grown over the years and the student population has decreased. We have a new 10 million middle school for a "population boom" when it was pr...

Bill, Make sure you get your Dad in the right vote column. He can discuss anything you ask him with the exception of hiring or firing. He can talk budget, scheduling, anything you feel like asking, but legal matters and personnel issues are private. Let's hope your Dad, Amy Stever, Rev. Huff, and tw...

Bill,

The question is what did your Dad have to say about this?

Sounds like Dr. Miller is turning into Mayor Stoner on this issue.

Mrs. Young, Somehow I was able to be in the Gifted Program (How I got there was beyond me) and still in Band. Now that the Princess (Becky Erb) is gone, maybe there is a chance to schedule what is right for the students, not to make the Princess Superintendent material. Believe it or not, I think Dr...

There are three pages of arguements about Hoagies. For what is worth, I never ate an East End Hoagie and never will. My order is still and always be 2 hot dogs. Tyrone has some important decisions to make. School Board elections are here, borough council primaries are here and the Blair County Commi...

After Gerry retired the first time, Steve Hartman, who was the drill designer and instructor, was hired as the band director. Allegedly, he couldn't keep his relationships with band members as teacher/student and changed to again allegedly sexual in nature. Needless to say, Hartman left rather quick...

Even worse is trusting a babysitter with the last name Lloyd or someone named Lloyd who went from part-time Petroleum Transfer Engineer to carrying a badge.

Good thing the people running the Chicken Shack were named Eyer.

How was my comment outrageous? It is a true statement. I will amend my reading music statement. I know what the notes mean, it is just when you play tri-toms and all the notes get there, they all blurred together for me. I did fail 11th Grade English with Mrs. Lloyd. Spent a summer with Killer Kowal...

Well, if that is the case, I beat the system again.

I flunked 11th grade English and had to do summer school and became editor of the Herald and now editor of the Army's TRADOC News Service.

What a Country!!

Mrs. Young, We had some interesting times. What you have done with the Choral Department is fantastic. Congrats on having 3 students qualify for State Chorus. I know it is hard to believe, but it has been over 20 years since I picked up a pair of drumsticks. Remember my many comments about the noddi...

There is an idea. Find the Boat Man and bring him to Tyrone. Another idea is find Dave Schopp who is a band director in the Philly area. Bring him back. Excellent musician and knows what it takes to be in an award winning band. I will hold out to see what the School Board does. You folks pay enough ...

It isn't like Brian hasn't walked down the street and eaten hundreds of East End Hoagies over his lifetime.

Sooner or later if you eat enough of them, you are going to figure it out.

I figure if it is something that is Council business, it should take place at the Borough building.

I am all about the kids feeling comfortable, but when Jim is the Mayor, his office is on Logan Ave.

When he is Pastor Jim, his office is the Joshua House.

That's all.

Here we go again, another year, another band director. I know Gerry Roberts has to be looking down and talking to himself. The TAHS Band program still hasn't recovered from the scandal of Hartman. Kris Laird tried to rebuild it, but went to Hollidaysburg where there was less pressure (Jr. High), mor...
