HAPPY THANKSGIVING. EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY!

WHO IS AND WHAT DOES PAUL ETHERIDGE STAND FOR???

We know Paul slightly. We have been making inquiries as to WHAT are your ideas, plans and visions for New Albany.

We know he is for a better government in New Albany. We also know he favors a City Court so the monies for tickets issued by the Police do not go to Indy. We also know taxpayers does not trust England to do this thing because we felt Shane Gibson would be in the midst of same. But, if the monies saved by doing the City Court will shave the Police and Fire from taking 85% plus from the General Fund (and only under him not England), we have to listen.

Unions, both fire and police, have got to concede something. As my father said (a life long union member and us being die hard union people), unions got too greedy and did their selves in. Time for the police and fire to make concessions. Times are too hard for the average joe blow, but I don't know they recognize the ramifications if they don't.

Yes, Etheridge is right in getting rid of our Deputy Mayor (we feel). Unnecessary position to say the least.

But, what else will be Paul's platform? We look forward to hearing more and knowing his words are true and will be acted upon.

Stay tuned.

IF IT WASN'T SO SICK, WE WOULD ALL BE LAUGHING

HOW MUCH DID WE ALL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT AROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE THESE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS?


WHERE WOULD YOU START? THE ELECTIONS? THE TOLLS PROPOSED FOR BRIDGES ALREADY PAID FOR AND EXTREMELY DETRIMENTAL TO THE CITIZENS OF NEW ALBANY BUT ALSO FOR FLEDGLING BUSINESSES IN NEW ALBANY TRYING TO CAPTURE KENTUCKY DOLLARS?

MAYBE YOU TALKED ABOUT MESSER AND HIS "PENANCE". MAYBE YOU TALKED ABOUT THE NEW QUIET ZONE ON MAIN STREET. HISTORICAL IN ITS CREATION. THERE ARE HARDLY ANY RESIDENCES IN THE UNITED STATES WHO CAN CLAIM "THEY WERE THERE BEFORE THE RAILROAD". SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT, BUT OH, THE FALLOUT.

WAS IT DOUG ENGLAND WHO CREATED THE QUIET ZONE OR WAS IT VALLA ANN BOLEVSCHEKS'S (IF I SPELLED IT WRONG, I APOLOGIZE) EFFORTS , AND BEFORE IT WAS OVER, JIMMY G STICKERS..?!.

AS WE READ THE NEWS, WATCHED THE ELECTIONS, CATCHING UP ON NEWSPAPERS AFTER THE MARCH FOR SANITY/AND OR FEAR, WE BECAME THANKFUL WE DID THE MARCH FOR SANITY. ALL RACES, ALL COLORS, BOTH DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN, TEA PARTIES, ETC...WERE THERE. WE SAW THE BEST "PROTEST SIGNS" WE HAVE EVER SEEN. ATTENDING THE RALLY MADE YOU FEEL GOOODDDD ABOUT YOURSELF AND MAYBE YOUR INTELLIGENCE LEVEL.

OKAY, THE LATEST ISSUES WE HAVE HAD BANDIED ABOUT WOULD BE MAYOR ENGLAND BEING AT ANN STRECKFUS' (& STEVEN BROWN'S) HOUSE TUESDAY MORNING. THE ISSUE OF HER BLOG SUDDENLY MOVING TO FACEBOOK IMMEDIATELY AFTER "THEIR" MEETING HAS US WONDERING "HUH, WHAT WAS THAT "ONE" ALL ABOUT (LOL)?!?

THEN, THE SAME EXACT DAY, OUR DEPUTY MAYOR CARL MALYSZ APPEARED AT VALLA ANN BOLVASCHEK'S DOOR STEP TWICE (NOT ONCE). WISELY, SHE DID NOT ANSWER THE DOOR (AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED). THERE ARE TWO THINGS ENGLAND CAN NOT STAND (CAN'T THINK OF ONE OF THE TWO RIGHT NOW), BUT A BIGGIE IS NO, AND WE MEAN NO, BAD PRESS. BOOOO. WHY DID MALYSZ GO TO VAB'S HOUSE? WE HAVE TO TRY AND FIGURE THAT ONE OUT BEFORE WE CAN PROCEED FURTHER WITH THIS CONVERSATION.

INTERESTING, TOO, THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY'S BLOG SITE THINKING ABOUT TAKING ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. WE UNDERSTAND THE STRAIN TOLLS WOULD HAVE ON ANY NEW ALBANY BUSINESS BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE TRIED TO TELL YOU SO. YOU KNOW WHO YOUR ENEMIES ARE.....IT'S YOUR FRIENDS YOU NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR.

WELL, WE ARE GOING TO SIGN OFF AND LET THE CITY RESIDENTS TAKE IT FROM HERE ON ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED TOPICS. PLEASE TRY AND KEEP IT "CLEAN". THANKS.

ALL KINDS OF ISSUES

There are so many things our family talked about this week.


Did you read about Messer and the "money" he is going

to be missing out on?


Did you see the focus group on Fox from Ohio where

their favorite ad was a family sitting around the

kitchen table?


Is the rumor true the local Democrat Central

Committee are all going to resign

immediately after this election, because

of different issues?


How come Coffey didn't stick to his guns about the

salaries at the Council meeting?


We are glad the Quiet Zone is going in on Main Street.

This will help our family get some sleep and

encourage the bed and breakfasts. Is the get

together Nov. 4? Thank you Valla Ann.

MARCH FOR SANITY

HEY! WE ARE OFF. NOT TO THE RACES, BUT TO THE MARCH FOR SANITY IN WASHINGTON, DC. HATS OFF TO JON STEWART FOR BEING THE MOOOSST INFLUENTIAL PERSON. SEE YOU THERE?!?!!!

ELECTIONS 2010

LET US TALK ABOUT IT, LOL....


WHO ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE FOR???? WE KNOW WHO WE ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR.

DON'T YOU WISH WE DIDN'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE COMMERCIALS????

WE DO...

DON'T YOU WISH HAD THE MONEY THEY DO????

I SAY ABOLISH PARTIES. IS THAT EXTREME? WELL, YEAH, BUT IT'S THE TRUTH. EXTREME.... TO THE ABSOLUTE... ABOLISH THE PARTIES. THEN, WHERE WILL THEY FIND THE FOLLOWINGS TO DO ALLLLLLLL OF THE ADVERTISING WE HAVE ALLLL BEEN So tired of...

ABOLISH THE PARTIES...WHAT A RADICAL IDEA...LOL

WE CAN'T IMAGINE EVEN ...

WE KNOW WHO WE ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR... DO YOU???

GO CLERE, GO E.., GO BARON, ...SEABROOK.........

ETC.

WHAT THE HEY??????

We sure have had a lot to talk about this week. I would
call it unexplainable bull crap.

We heard, too, Chief Crabtree was going to be thrown
under the bus. I guess he'll have a friend in Messer now.
By the way, what's going on with Messer and when does
the public find out what is his punishment is going to
be?

My family is Democrat, though we do try to vote for the
person with the right ideas, ideals, etc., and not straight
party. So, we have a big problem with the happenings
within the Party and the Harvest Homecoming Parade.

The election this fall is for County and State representa-
tives, not the CITY. Why in the hey did Shane Gibson
give Randy Smith permission to ride on the float with a
"candidate" shirt on? Why did the City try to upstage
local Democrats running for office this fall; because of
Shane? Go Ed.

Why in the hey did we use Sodrel's flatbed for the float
representing the party? Hell, we could have gotten you
a flatbed, free. Did you get it free because the gentleman
driving it was wearing a Todd Young shirt? Yes, I under-
stand he had to cover it with a vest but it was still
visible. We noticed it and a lot of others noticed it. Just
who do you "all" think you are fooling? Go Baron.

Why did Mrs. Benedetti and Randy Smith get into it?
We would love to have been privvy to that argument.

We were glad to see the partial list of past due free flushers
published. We hope some of you who have bashed a lot
of people over why we don't need our sewer rates hiked
because of certain people not paying their bills year
after year after year. The list is almost a reading of
who's who in New Albany.

The Windsor Restaurant Doesn't the same person
still own the building? Why isn't it under the owner's
name?

Jacque Hunter One of the first landlords out of the
starting gate when rental inspection was introduced
under Overton. Hell, he even helped start the legal
fund to fight the legislation and now certain slum lords
want to know what happened to their money.

Manzanita Tribe This would be the Redman's Club.
Our question is this. Is this the old Redman's Club
which is now Culbertson West and they simply
didn't change the paper work or is this the new
Redman's Club down next to the new Irish restaurant?

A couple of people would maintain the new Redman's
Club probably isn't even on a sewer.

John Mattingly Is he still working for our City behind
the scenes or is he truly out of the picture? We do
know he is one of England's BEST BUDDIES.

We were anxiously awaiting on the Mexican restaurant
opening downtown but now must boycott it until
the owner makes things right with the people he
screwed out of getting paid. One of the companies
he wrote a bad check to was Triple AAA Plumbing.
Another person he did not pay the money owed was
the artist who painted the murals in the restaurant
after the artist did it THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS
CHEAPER than what the Art's Council bid. And,
when you tell someone to go to another restaurant
who has existed for 40 years and let their low life
friends pay for this restaurants' work, well, let's just
say you have a problem.

We also understand codes and permits were ignored
with the electric and unlicensed Mexicans did the
work. The more people talk the more you find out.

And here we were so excited to go and experience
the new restaurant, as we have the others. Damn, do
they serve fresh guacamole?

We hope everyone has a good time at Harvest. We
plan to.

BTW, England is out of town again. Tell us it's not
another vacation.

Remember, these are the issues we talked about at
our kitchen table ALL WEEK.
