| Vivian...I agree this should be removed from the agenda & Ms. Mort should be the one to request removal. Surely she knows this is a very bad precedent ? I believe this is the kind of stuff we'll see out of her (no substance) after listening to her at the council meetings. I hope I'm wrong ! |

409 The citizens of Middletown should have a voice in this matter.
Please email City Council and either nominate your choice or request that this park be named in honor of George Crout.

We will not listen. We will not hear. Ignoring the public. We've made that quite clear. We are puppets of power We do right by this town It's not a hopeless issue Our decisions are sound. So get on board The "good news" train It's looking like sunshine No chance of rain. Cinci State will save us. So will the arts. It's we and MMF'ers Who have all the smarts You peons know nothing Just wait and you'll see. We'll tell you all How it will be. Stay out of our business You people haven't a clue We'll get what we want To hell with you. I would imagine that would be the general response when approaching council these days.

If you want to leave the name as it is that’s fine also
Have it removed from the agenda. Please call or email City Council Members and voice your opinion. Let your voice be heard! |

As if we don't have enough problems, now we are going to play the name game with parks. Pacman  |

George Crout was my principal at Wilson Elementary (grades K-6). Shows ya how young I am.
 Might want to start thinking about an appropriate name for that exquisite and overused parking area across Carmody Blvd.!

“An ode from City Hall” We cannot listen to little
persons, filled with negativity. Your opinions are always the
worst ones, clouded by objectivity. You try to fog us with the
facts, which we can’t tolerate. Common sense our theory
lacks, we’d rather obfuscate. We don’t care if you like
our plans, or if you think they’re funny. We don’t need you to be our
fans, We just need your money. We’re thrilled to death o’er
history, And find it quite exciting; If we get it wrong, we don’t
worry, as with phony “period lighting”. Art and culture? You can’t
see it! You’re insufficiently pensive. But we deserve it—we guarantee
it, Although it’s quite expensive. Since we’re your leaders,
you must provide,
the expensive toys we covet. Paying higher taxes? Down
deep inside, You know, for us, you’ll love it! So be good soldiers, bear
the load, while our heads are in the sand. Forget the sewer, forget the
road! Just bow with cash in hand! ------------- “Mulligan said he ... doesn’t believe they necessarily make the return on investment necessary to keep funding them.” …The Middletown Journal, January 30, 2012 |

I think they already have a
name for that area. It is “NEEDLE PARK”!!! ------------- “Mulligan said he ... doesn’t believe they necessarily make the return on investment necessary to keep funding them.” …The Middletown Journal, January 30, 2012 |

409..... I also went to Highview Elementary when George Crout was principal. Had J.E. Seamon for 6th grade (some had Elsie Ellison (Tiger's wife perhaps) for 6th in the library), Hattie Holmes for 5th, Betty Fay for 4th. Can't remember 3rd or 2nd grade. Remembering Ms. Pratt.( Mike Pratt's (MUM) mother?) Everyone remembers Ms. Pratt.  How about those blazing hot summer lawn fetes at the school? The bent basketball rims out on the blacktopped playground. The fold out tables in the wall at lunch in the combo gym, lunchroom. The stage at the one end of the gym. Had everything in one place back then. No separate auditorium/gymnasium. Not a bad school and was sorry to see it go.

Mike....Parking is sometimes scarce when I go down to Bicentennial Commons to visit the "engraved family brick" I purchased some years ago. Offhand, I don't remember the year or the price. It seems like the base price may have been $20 at that time?
Vet...The fold out lunch tables in the gym were leg killers weren't they? Had the same teachers. Hattie Holmes was one of my favotite teachers. I will never forget her spelling tests. The thing I remember most about the lawn fetes was having a handfull of those tickets. I thought I had a handfull of gold.
I digress....Council....DO NOT enact Ms. Mort's legislation !!
