3/13 SUN LTE - No official position

[WeBe204]

No official position on high school site

I have read the letters to the editor, especially those of Tuesday, some of which attempt to present the sense of our community on Metea Valley High School. As president of the White Eagle Property Owners Association I want to set the record straight.
The boundary/third high school issue is beyond the scope of our authority in our HOA bylaws.

Simply stated, we don't have an official position on this.

We have thousands of taxpayers and voters in our 1,085 homes. They will express their opinions appropriately, the homeowners association won't.

We are blessed with plenty of committed, involved parents who will do their part to make any school their children attend the best it can be.

Mike Reilly

President

Thanks, Mike. Please consider before allowing another group to use the community clubhouse for political purposes.

Was someone denied who had the money ready to pay for its use?

Gee did we move from America ?

so no politcal purposes because you object. Next someone will object to Scouts using it - or anyone with a viewpoint different than their own on anything -- might as well tear it down, you won't need it anymore as no group is going to meet with the approval of all 1000+ residents. Amazing

Why not allow members of your community to use the clubhouse.....I know families that do support the lawsuit and as residents of WE they are entitled to host meetings if they so choose....same holds true in Stonebridge or any other neighborhood.

When you will no longer have children in the school system I know your opinion may change. I know Sushi......if you had children still in the system you would still stand on the same beliefs....yeah right!

It's not the political purpose I object to, it's the subsequent painting of the neighborhood with a wide brush. Because this is such a heated issue and people are divided in their beliefs, it is a bad idea to have this particular meeting at our clubhouse. Before NSFOC was formed it was a meeting of residents to sound off. That was different, IMO.

DrDave, I still have a child in the system as well as five nieces and nephews and neighbor kids I love like my own. What is your point?

My point is that you need to get off your soapbox and look at the situation for what it truly is......and also stop ripping on those not in favor of this site or maybe even the 3rd high school. People can use the clubhouse however they feel fit. If I rent my clubhouse for a particular purpose do I need to seek approval from everyone in Stonebridge? I don't think so! You said it yourself that it is your child's turn to attend NV.....I am sure if she/he were going to WV or MV (if it were open) this year or next you would be OK with that too. And if you think anyone is buying that you are mistaken. Well you may find a few believers......you always can in every group for a situation.

When I moved here my kids, had they been old enough, would have attended WV. My soapbox?

I don't think it was big of you to be o.k. with WV at the time - there were no other choices. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be o.k., but it's kind of a hollow argument on your part.

I have to side with Sushi who is not talking about rights but about the perception that WE and TG are joined at the hip. Yesterday I heard people talking about how racist and elitist WE is which is simply not true and I let them know about it.It is that one group from TG that is dragging us (WE) through the mud. Haven't you been reading the papers and the potluck blog?

What group from TG is dragging you through the mud? As poor Doctor Who keeps trying to point out, it is many more than people from TG or WE - there are members of this group from all over the district. I think what you're really struggling with is letting the comments of some disgruntled people define your subdivision in YOUR mind. There are people in the middle East who hate Americans for the war in Iraq. Not sure how you feel about the war, but I'm sure it doesn't make you feel that bad that some people are upset with decisions made by our government and would attribute our governments' actions to our whole country.

There are people on this site from WE who bug me or from Brookdale, but I don't assume that all people from those areas are jerks. And I know there are people in my neighborhood who have acted immaturely in the past (like the stomping out of the SB meeting in a tantrum). I would never act that way, and just because I live in TG doesn't mean I react that way. I had to come to terms with this issue 2 years ago. I'm really o.k. with it. Hope you can get there too.

[scarbroughknight]

Fryfox- Did I refer to the entire subdivision? I said one group who I am told the core of which are the people you refer to as stomping out of the school board meeting and are now calling themselves NSFOC. I am aware many people in that organization are very sincere in their concerns but mentioned core could care less about safety hazards and are only concerned about staying at NV. I know people in TG have told me they are embarrassed and chagrined by these people. However both TG and WE have been painted as the black sheep of the district because of their actions. I just don't like being called rasist and elitist and I know you don't either.

NSFOC is not from TG as you suggest. It is made up from a cross section of the entire district.

You are practiciing the same type of stereotyping that we are trying to stop.

Just because you "have been told" some things doesn't make them true.

I "have been told" some things in LTEs and in hate emails that I definitely know are not true.

NSFOC sprung from the loins of TG.
