Al Gore Beat This Woman!!!

Irena Sendler - who recently died at 98 years of age, was a 2008 Nobel Peace Prize Nominee


During WWII, Irena was given permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a plumbing/sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive.




Being German, Irena knew what the Nazi plan was for Jews.

Irena smuggled out infants in the bottom of a tool box she carried in the back of her truck. She used a burlap sack for bigger children.




She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with her dog. The barking covered noises of the infants and children.

Irena managed to smuggle out and save 2500 infants and children, before she was caught! The Nazi's broke both her legs and arms, and beat her severely.



Irena kept a record in a jar buried under a tree in her back yard of all the children she smuggled out.

After the war, she tried to locate all parents that may have survived to reunite families, but most had been gassed.

The children she could not reunite were placed with foster families or adopted.

Irena was nominated for the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won for a slide show on Global Warming.

And Now The Rest Of The Story

From Topix Kingsland:
Cano was fired for showing a video that included sex scenes and a racial slur without submitting it to the media committee. In addition to the video issue, there were a number of student complaints about her classroom conduct over the years and those complaints were validated.She appealed. They had a public hearing in public meeting. YOu weren't there, but it was announced and it was held even though you were unaware of it.The board members saw the questionable scenes that show full nudity in the scenes. this type of material would have NEVER been approved by the committee that Cano neglected to submit the movie to before showing to minors in a publicly funded classroom as she knew she was required to do.The difference between ethical and unethical - or a mistake - is that little "knowing" part. Try researching... oh, but that might lead to facts, and based on everything I've ever read that you write you push anything that suits you without any researching to the mouths are just watering for another assumption based conspiracy.I'm not a school board fan, just an informed citizen who believes that misinformation like what you seem to perpetuate lessens the voice of truth in the event of a Real injustice - the kind that happen in reality.

TRSP Review: The facts are what I was looking for, as the school refuses to post them. Not one person I have spoken to knew anything about this. Including some teachers. Take a look at the agenda for your so called "public hearing"

We are supposed to know whats going on by this half ass agenda, it tells us nothing. We need a clear understanding of what is going on in our schools.

If a student turned in a paper that looked like this, they would get an F.

Thanks for providing the facts. But this was not a properly advertised meeting, hearing, or whatever you want to call it.


Here is the agenda for the PUBLIC HEARING:

5/27/2009 - 12:30 PM - CAMDEN COUNTY BOE CALLED MEETING
I. CALL TO ORDER - Chairperson, Herbert Rowland
II. ADOPTION OF AGENDA - School Board
III. ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING TO DETERMINE A PERSONNEL MATTER
IV. ADJOURNMENT

Does anyone get that someone is going to be fired from this? Who showed up, no one!!

No one knew this was going on!!

Now I am being accused of lying to you all. How many of you knew this teacher was showing our kids movies with nudity in them????

TRSP Review:
What did this teacher DO? Don't we have a right to know? Did she do something to a student? Questions that go unanswered because we have closed door meetings and a LAW that mandates what said in executive session stays in executive session.

Was this teacher fired because she wasn't on board with the big wigs? Did she question the practices of her superiors?

We deserve to know for the protection of our children!!!!

The Penny Woodard Saga!!!!

Penny Woodard was the interim county manager, who was promoted to county manager on an interim basis. (Some stupid theory of Dr. Dave Rainer Coach Chairperson) This is how the Florida Times Union reported it:



Camden picks county manager
Woodard would still be interim, but with a 2-year contract
By GORDON JACKSON, The Times-Union

KINGSLAND - Interim Camden County Manager Penny Woodard was named new county manager Tuesday - on an interim basis.
Commissioner David Rainer made the motion to hire Woodard on "an interim or full-time basis to end this once and for all." Katherine Nisi Zell seconded the motion.
Then, the debate began on letting Woodard continue in the same duties she already has held for two years albeit with a contract.
Steve Berry, who later cast the lone opposing vote, asked Rainer to clarify the motion, saying he either wants to hire Woodard permanently or keep her as the interim county manager. (Read the whole story at http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/041907/geo_9328709.shtml )



BUT THEN THE BOTTOM FALLS OUT!!!!



Come to find out Penny had a few problems. That wasn't the problem though. The problem was the Commissioners didn't discover it, the press did. Here is what the T-U said about it:



Woodard escaped credit check
Other Camden manager candidates faced far more scrutiny
By Gordon Jackson, The Times-Union
WOODBINE - After three searches for a county manager over the past two years, the Camden County Commission voted to appoint Penny Woodard, the county's human resources department manager, to the position April 17. But it now appears Woodard was not held to the same standards, which included a background check and a credit history review, as the finalists for the position. (Read the whole story at http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/050307/geo_167220231.shtml )



Now during negotiations Penny was wanting a raise to be the interim county manager, a job she was already doing for two years. That is when she quit.

This is how one person felt about the raise request:

Woodard's raise request ridiculous considering budget mess
Published: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 5:39 PM EDT

Dear Editor,

Is Penny Woodard wearing rose colored glasses or is she an ostrich with her head in the dirt? The county is $1.2 million out of balance, with the sheriff's office losing $3 million. Most people, in the business world, know that when you are facing that big of a cut that the workload will increase until you are able to fix the problem.What nerve Penny has asking the taxpayers to give her and four other employees in her department a raise. Any intelligent person would see that this is not a good business practice. She had to know the state the county was in when she accepted the position. The county manager's first priority should be to the taxpayers, and not to himself or herself. If she can turn the state of the county's finances back to a positive figure, then she is qualified to request a raise, but until then, it would be a foolish move to make.

Should Penny Woodard Get A Raise?
That is the questioned raised today by the Tribune and Georgian. The simple answer is YES. Now let me tell you how I got there. She did not apply for the job she was appointed by 5 very stupid people who are running this county into the ground. If they do not pay her for the job that she is doing, She can sue the county. It is call equal pay for equal work. You can not make someone do someone Else's job and not pay them for it. That is illegal. It was once again the Commissioners that screw up and the rest of us must pay the price. I didn't agree with making her the interim manager, but that is what they did. So she should get something for that. If they don't pay her for the job she is doing then the County can not call itself an equal opportunity employer, because there is no equality in what they are doing.In 5 months this Commission has done nothing good for Camden County. In fact they have drained our accounts and continue to want to give more money to the big business man, yet sucking dry the poor citizen.

Now when Penny left she was making $82,726.02 according to county records. The guy that replaced her Mr. Howard is making $135,000.06.

This is a classic equal pay for equal work!!!!!!


In my next post I will show how the Steve Berry and David "the King" Rainer used Penny to get at Sandy Feller. As many of you don't know she was interim manager back in 2003 as well.

Sheriff's assistant indicted for credit card fraud

From the Times Union:

Camden County sheriff's assistant indicted for credit card fraud
After being indicted for credit card fraud, some want her out.


WOODBINE - Camden County Sheriff Tommy Gregory's administrative assistant remains on the job despite being indicted on 13 felony counts of financial transaction card fraud.
The indictment issued by a Wayne County grand jury accuses Alana Clark of making at least one unauthorized purchase each month in 2008 on a credit card of her former employer, Ryker Investments.
The indictment does not specify the dollar amount Carter is accused of spending without permission.
District Attorney Stephen Kelley said he is unsure how much Clark is accused of spending, but the amount is "substantial." Kelley declined further comment, saying he and other prosecutors are not allowed to discuss specific facts in the case.
Officials at Ryker Investments could not be contacted for comment Tuesday. The two listed phone numbers were disconnected.
Clark did not respond to repeated messages left for her Tuesday at the Sheriff's Office.
Gregory said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation told him about the criminal investigation several weeks before the April 20 indictment, but has intentionally distanced himself from the investigation so there is no appearance he is attempting to interfere with the case.
Gregory said he conducted a criminal background check on Clark before she was hired in January and found no prior convictions. She was not removed from the position because Gregory said Clark has no county credit card or access to cash.
"She's been exemplary in this job," he said. "She claims it was a misunderstanding. They claim she used a credit card inappropriately. She says she didn't. Let the judicial system do what it's designed to do."
If she is convicted, Gregory said "that day I'll fire her."
"It could take two years before this is heard [by a jury]," he said. "If I cut her legs from under her, how can she hire a defense attorney?"
County Commissioner Steve Berry said he was "stunned and disappointed" with the indictment and Gregory's insistence Clark remain on the job. During his campaign last year, Gregory promised to restore credibility to the department, which is under investigation by the GBI for using inmate labor on Cumberland Island and unauthorized expenditures from a seized asset account.
In 2007, Berry also criticized former Sheriff Bill Smith for refusing to fire Gina Evanson, a former department finance officer accused of charging more than $890 in Christmas gifts on a Sheriff's Office credit card that she eventually repaid.
"There is a big difference between Gina Evanson and this case," he said. "Gina was never indicted."
Berry said Clark should have been suspended without pay immediately after Gregory learned about the indictment.
"He's going to lay off 34 people, but he's going to keep on the payroll a woman accused of theft," Berry said. "What message does this send to the employees? And what message does this send to the people of Camden County?"
Commissioner Charlene Sears, a former sheriff's employee who replaced Evanson after she was removed from her position, said she supports Gregory's decision. She said there were no morale problems "that would have hindered operations" while Evanson was investigated.
"He is a constitutional officer and has the right to do what he wants with his employees." Sears said of Gregory. "She's innocent until proven guilty, even with an indictment. The law and the court system should take its course."
