OOPS a correction is in order.Thanks to Renee for calling my attention to the fact that I had completely overlooked Recreation's highly successful Basketball programs. Great deal of the positive results can be attributed to Lenny Cathcart's leadership. The great high school teams owe their fundamental foundations to this program.
Plainfield has a large enough reservoir of athletic talent that all sports should be winners. This years baseball team unfortunately did not meet that goal. In the future depending on the leadership and lack of turmoil in the baseball program the high school team should once again be competitive. The Recreation programs must not only focus on sports but also academics and citizenship to be worthwhile.
Plainfield's latest stabbing occurred at a bar on East Front Street. This latest '"uptick"seems to be just routine news since it only made the first page of the second section of the Courier.
Yesterday's Plainfield Today's expose on the use of city cars and readers comments about unauthorized drivers once again demonstrates Administration's disregard for established municipal policy.
Once again this is a direct result of the lack of responsible fiscal control officials. Plainfield's government often reflects in minutia the excesses found in a poor Third World nation dictatorship. The leader does as he wishes, his favorites benefit.

Go watch the movie, "The Dictator" and you'll see the male version of Sharon. It's funny on screen, but so sad in Plainfield. We will have a new mayor soon, but not soon enouch.
ReplyDeleteShe does what she does because she knows she has the magic letter "D" next to her name. Put her on the ballot again ... She'll be elected again. She knows this. This is why she doesn't have to give a damn what one person in Plainfield thinks.
ReplyDeleteThird world country?? More like a Banana Republic.
1:27 pm Your comment not accepted since it has nothing to do with this posting. Moreover the reference to "elitists friends up in Sleepy Hollow" smacks of erroneous bigotry.
ReplyDeleteIn 2013 you may comment on the election for Mayor.
Old Doc, it's your blog so you can sensor as you please, however, Bob clearly makes reference to having a new mayor and my post was just a response to his. as far as the elitists in Sleepy Hollow, well I guess referrring to Plainfield as a third world county, more like a Banana Republic is ok. Just saying.
ReplyDelete2:51- There are differences; We know who Bob and Rob are and their message is consistent You are anonymous yet you speak of a portion of the city as the home of a despicable group of residents.
ReplyDeleteYour comment was an attack on a person not mentioned or connected in any way with any of the subject matter.
Do you think that Plainfield is a model of democracy? Or that the Mayor considers the "rules" before she acts? On the first meeting in Jan the Council passes resolutions designating who has the right to municipal vehicles and how they are to be used. If done otherwise that is a violation and not even the Mayor has the authority to authorize such usage.
I agree with you about Lenny Cathcart. Kudos go to Scott Monroe for what he has also done for the young basketball players in Plainfield. I grew up with both of those gentlemen and they do love Plainfield.
ReplyDeletePlease remember that the people who refer to the elitists in Sleepy Hollow are probably referring to the area around it as well as Ward 2. And remember that Jerry Green lives smack in the middle, so perhaps Jerry is actually responsible for the special favors others think the people in Ward 2 are getting? No evidence - just want to make the point that when you talk about elitism, Ward 2, and favoritism in the area, you include Jerry.
ReplyDeleteOLDDOC; You should also,give Sam Gault a shout out for him and his friends basketball youth program in Plainfield. They support to continue to help our youth
