An Exclusive Report from WAB in the Giles Rebel...

...this one, with an MP3 soundtrack!

Here's the LINK to click on, to read Reporter Barrett's summary of the recent Property Committee meeting (and you'll be able to listen to the committee meeting, as well).

As I earlier promised, the meeting was videotaped, and a DVD copy of that tape will be given to the local library very soon... probably tomorrow.

People of Giles County, enjoy the sunshine! Much more is to come soon from the Rebel, I sincerely promise.

Obviously didn't like it but they couldn't do anything about it. Caused Vanzant to finally reveal the correct figures on what has been spent so far on H/S. (Half of what Wendall Wilburn has been touting to influence votes for doing away with the building).
Good job Barrett and McPeters.

Wonderful!
But what a laugh. Am I wrong? It sounded like Property Chair Wendall Wilburn forgot his notes and the meeting was adjourned about 3 minutes after being called to order! Then it sounded as if a woman asked him about the bidding process and he agreed it must be done which is not what he was quoted as supporting in local paper.

Neither I nor Mr. Barrett have any plans to "scrutinize" or "investigate" Mr. Wilburn. OTOH, he is a public official, so that would make him fair game for that, don't you think?

Surely the group can dig up something.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. If "the group" you speak of is Mr. Barrett and myself, then I can assure you that Mr. Wilburn is not someone we are interested in... at least any moreso than any other commissioner. We have no intent to look for and publicize insignificant faults, as we are aware that no-one is perfect. Note that the claims that have been made regarding Vanzant and Jackson are not dealing with "small potato" issues.

Shame on you!

Kendrick, I know well and the names you call him are not true and reveals a lot about you own character. I have a suggestion, you and Kendrick take an IQ test and post the results and that would end your nasty comments.

WAB, I have only met a few times and found him to be a very honorable person.

Your comments are so typical of the person you really are and don’t think I don’t know you and why you are so mad. You just as well calm down, because you are not going to shut either man’s mouth. Your blood pressure may not be able to stand another three and a half years

Yes he did and that is why Mr. Cagle is not laid up in the hospital at this moment. Trust me, there was a time when Mr.Barrett would have laid someone out for jabbing him in the chest. The Mr. Barrett we know now is a much smarter person and for that I am very proud. Thank you Mr. Barrett.

Why? Because be makes a lot more money than Mr. Barrett, he drives a nicer car than Mr. Barrett and he lives in a nicer house than Mr. Barrett, but he is not smarter than Mr. Barrett. That is why he got physical. Mr. Barrett made him look stupid in front of all of those people and he is not use to someone not opening their mouth and letting him feed them crap without questioning him. That again is why he got physical. And quess what? The county paid him to come down and do that.

To the person who stated "HELP! Someone just slightly poked me in the chest by trying to make a point. I have been assaulted.

I'm not sure I can make it to the phone."

What's going to happen when your lovely daughter and her husband or boyfriend start arguing and he pokes her or slaps her? I'm sure he was only "trying to make a point". I'm sure there are plenty of people on death row that were just "trying to make a point". Before you say there is a difference ask yourself is there really a difference? In either case including Mr. Cagle's the person lost control and violated another person. It's like speeding, if the limit is 55 and you are going 56, you are speeding. Mr. Cagle lost control and made contact with Mr. Barrett in an uncontrolled agressive manner.

Anonymous coward said, about WAB:

He got the cowboy hell beat out of him. That'll tell you how respected he is.

Oooh boy.... Mr. Barrett lost a POPULARITY CONTEST, and that proves he's no good whatsoever. Right?

Well, suppose that, using the typical American voters of today, we held an election between Jesus Christ, and Satan. Who do you think would win? You know it would be Satan by a landslide! (Just look around at the state of the real world-- the election I proposed takes place everyday.) Jesus loses because he asks too much of the voter... to obey moral laws, rather than seek mindless pleasure, to tell the truth, etc. Satan is a winner, because he tells the "voters" exactly what they want to hear... do whatever feels good, and don't worry about tomorrow. Yes, Jesus gets the "cowboy hell" beaten out of him everyday, so, using Anonymous' logic, that means he deserves no respect.

It'll also tell you a bit about those who support him. Losers!

"Losers" is precisely the word that atheists use to describe Christians. (I should know... I was an atheist for 25 years.) Anonymous, if you care anything about your immortal soul, you might want to rethink the logic behind your critique of Mr. Barrett. Catch that whiff of brimstone?

Guy with blue head..
Did I once claim to be a religious zealot or fanatic? Hardly so! Please don't put that spin on what I said.
By the way, I prefer seeing my self as "standing tall" rather than ben dover. But perceptions vary, so have at it with the name-calling. I don't seek your approval. I simply say what I believe on here, knowing full well that people like you will call me all manner of names because I disagree with you.
Lastly, a kook is a kook, regardless of what my particular religious leanings may be.

Gee whiz "standing tall", you can't even let me agree with you. Read my post, it says "There is no way we can accuse you of being some religous zealot or fanatic." I was simply confirming what you said. And if you don't seek my approval why even reply to my comments. What names have I called you?

Sorry friend. I thought you were one of the usual posters who jumps on me each and every time I say something positive in favor of mortal human beings who just happen to be in charge of things, right or wrong. My apologies.
But a kook is still a kook, right? If it walks like a duck, then it's probably a duck.

The bus garage will have to wait because all of the money is going into the Taj Mahal before the bus garage gets condemned. Then guess what, Tee will ask for money because the bus gargage HAS to be rebuild no choice. They will have to have the money then.

Here is the notorious statements made by Tee Jackson in a 3 part disclaimer given to the Giles County School Board:Coommunication is very important, I want you to be informed, you want to be informed.

I prefer that we move forward together,if one or two Board members are not ready to support an issue, I prefer to work toward a consensus before we place it on the agenda for a vote. That is why I often request that if you have questions or concerns please contact me before teh meeting. That way we can discuss the issue further and either leave it on the agenda or can be removed from the agenda for further review. This is how we can avoid a split vote like 6-1, 5-2, or 4-3. There is enought stress in the world without causing any additional stress.

I appreciate the work of, and personal sacrifice made by each Board member. I know that your time is valuable. I am grateful when you share it with me, our students and our employees. I hope you will never underestimate the influence that you have on our daily operation.

Harmony among the members of the Board and the Director of Schools is very important if we are to accomplish our goals. The students, imployees and citizens of Giles County benefit when we work together like a fine tuned engine. A lack of harmony and /or unity shown between the Board members or by jor toward the Director of Schools has a very negative effective on teh students, employees, and citizens that we serve.

It is imperative to have a clear chain of command.

Also a point of interest: The group spread false information by work of mouth, in Letters to the Editor, and through local internet sites. Some of the common lies were things like: The school board had two citizens arrested and taht the Director of Schools does not live in Giles County. Doxens of lies an dhalf truths have been printed. Thes types of letters and misnformation are likely to become more prevalent during the months when the Direcator's evaluation is due or while the budget is being developed and discussed.

God help us all.

How is not having a Pre K program moving forward? Especially since there are grants for it.

Giles County has applied for the Pre-K. I don't know how this got started but there are plans in the works for pre-k. One of Nashville's TV stations was here a couple of weeks ago and interviewed Jackson and a couple of local teachers. One more untruth going around! Get the facts before opening your mouth.

Glad the Pre K plans are in the works. But, what does a T V station have to do with it? Are you sure they were not here for The Leave it to Norman and Cagle Show?

The PreK program is just about the biggest most expensive "daycare" program that has ever been hoisted on the back of citizens. Administrators, unions and ambitious politicians are pushing this thing without one credible study to show any lasting benefits for children in PreK programs. This is nothing less than big government taking away more of our free choices. With this program like with other school grades you will have no choice in whether your child attends a good school or a mediocre or even a terrible school. At least at this time parents have a say in where their children attend PreK or Kindergarten. Those who choose may send their children to such places as Growing Tree, TNT or even the friend or family member who has a loving relationship already established with the child. This program will take away that choice.
PreK is for the most part an expansion of the Head Start program, about the only difference will be the huge increase in the cost.
Instead of looking to increase the number of people under their control the school system would do well to pay more attention to the needs of teachers and students already in the system. It does not require an expensive government study to understand that teachers and students are suffering right now and adding PreK to the mix will only redirect much needed resources away from current teachers and students.

This Pre-K thing really ticks me off! Low income people who pop out baby after baby are getting free babysitting with breakfast, lunch, and a SNACK provided --- not to mention that the teacher has a full-time assistant!!
If the child lives with parents who can't physically, emotionally, or financially care for the child, it won't make a doo-doo in the years to follow.

OH, my goodness. Okay some people pop out baby after baby so let's punish those babies. After all if Mom was too stupid to use birth control who wants those kids to learn any different. And heaven forbid that the kids be given a nutritinal meal and snack!! How can we dream of making a better life for an innocent child. What are we thinking. Let's keep those people at the bottom of the cess pool so that people like you can feel superior. I cannot believe that any one could stoop so low as to make comments like that!! And yes by the way the teacher will have a full time assistant to help care for 20 four year olds. I think those are federal laws that go for any day care center. Have you ever tried to be in a room with 5 four year olds. From your comment that must be your mentality. Maybe you should have gone to pre-school.

The village idiot will raise a village of idiots.

Let's see, a human being can not feed, nurture, nor provide a moral upbringing for their child, so the corrupted government will tax the parents and provide every social need of the child, beginning at age 4!
Marx is alive and well! What besides medication & food will be fed to these "innocent" minds?

Interesting thought, both Marx & Hitler had that same idea, - get the babies educated before they can learn something else.
