I'm starting to get responses from that mass emailing I sent out. Anyone

It's true, Dwight. My son is a certified teacher - High School Social
Studies and a certified coach. That is an attractive package for any school
system. My son will not even look at openings in PG for ALL of those
reasons.
My daughter transitioned to Parkdale this year. What a disaster. Up to and
including the School Board I got nowhere. I won't get into details in this
forum, but she is now in Buffalo, NY, with family, getting a good solid
education that will prepare her for a future that includes success. It was
a tough decision, but as a parent I found that working with the system here
wasn't working.
It's a broken system and it needs to be fixed. Do I have the answers?
Nope. But somebody should.

For those of you that are interested, Polyface Farms delivers organic meat (pork, poultry, beef, other) to Takoma Park (and many other locations) every 6 weeks. They are just finishing their winter hiatus and will start accepting orders on February 15 for delivery on Saturday, March 1. I can forward their general info email to anyone interested. The web site is http://www.polyfacefarms.com/.

hi neighbors. i am throwing a small gathering at my house in a few weeks and i wanted a foosball table for the festivities. i was looking for one that someone wanted to get rid of for free or for pretty cheap, because i only need it for the night (we don't have the space for one regularly) and i will probably end up donating it shortly after... any leads? contact me off list djgal97 at hotmail.com if you're feeling really neighborly and you want to lend yours out for the night (23rd of feb) i promise to take care of it and repay the favor with a giftcard or some other treasure :) for my fellow thrift store shoppers, keep your eyes open for me! best wishes, drena (nicholson street)

A new Korean restaurant opened next to (on right) the Alamo in the Alamo shopping plaza. It's called the Koreana, but you can't tell from the sign since it's in Korean. The restaurant used to be called the YiJo and was located on Rt 1 just north of the University Blvd/Greenbelt Rd overpass. YiJo was frequented by literally busloads of Korean tourists on their way to DC. They are now going to the Koreana. The food is great and you can't get fat eating Korean food because it's too healthy. The menu is extensive and prices range from ~$10 - $30 for dinner. They used to have a great lunch box for $8, but they haven't got that back on the menu yet. This is real Korean food, unlike what is commonly referred to as Chinese food.
I encourage all of you to check it out. You won't be sorry.

Right next to the Alamo? Is that where the large "Foo
Dogs" are standing outside? I was wondering why they
had those outside the Alamo! I'll have to give it a
try, especially if it's authentic Korean food and not
a chain restaurant. Thanks for the "heads up!"
I'd also ask people to give the LaGrande supermarket
(at the old Giant Food location at Riverdale Plaza) a
try; I went in on Sunday, they had carrots, 2
one-pound bags for a dollar, celery 79 cents a bunch!
It's nice to go shopping for produce and get change
from a $10 bill!

We just heard a radio announcement that the state of Maryland has
decided to keep the polls open until 9:30 pm tonight to accommodate
all those who weren't able to get there before closing because of the
weather.
Sorry Lou!

Good
evening!
I trust you are all
safely ensconced in your warm abodes with your "I Voted" sticker
on.
It's time to have
another 4-H meeting. Like usual, it will be this Thursday (Valentine's
Day) at 6:30 PM in the Edmonston Rec Center. It was pointed out to me that
it is on Tanglewood between Riverdale Rd and Decatur (Thanks
Ann!)
This month's
meeting will be a bit of a planning session. Please come prepared with
all the things the kids (and adults) want to learn this year. I'd like
to work out a schedule for the topics of the meetings. I'd also like to
hear some ideas for field trips. I believe one member mentioned
that he wanted to learn about dinosaurs. Perhaps we could take a trip to
the Museum of Natural History? Another thing to
think about would be community service projects. I'd love for the kids
to pick a project (or two) that they'd like accomplish this year. What
are they interested in? Helping seniors? Helping animals in some
way? Environment? The options are endless.Now, a reminder,
please remember to bring your enrollment forms.
REMEMBER You do not
have to live in RP to be a member. You don't even have to live in PG
County. All youth between 5 and 18 years of age are
welcome.

I completely understand why the selection of Delegates was essential in the
time when a delegate had to leave his farm or his job, climb on a horse and
come to the Nations Capitol (be it here or in Philadelphia) so that his
area's interests could be represented. However, in this day of computers
and the ability to instantly withdraw money from my checking account before
I step away from the checkout at Shoppers, I cannot fathom why we don't
simply count the votes. Throw out the chip cards and computerize! We could
have a new President within moments of the polls closing. Absentee ballots
are required to be in ahead of the actual election anyhow. There's no
better time for every American to have a vote that counts and for the
popular vote to work. It's archaic to continue to use Delegates. Just my 2
cents. ($40.00 with inflation). Sue

If it makes anyone feel any better, my single parent daughter with her two boys live in Montgomery County, and we have had constant battles with those schools since they moved to the area in 2001. Her eldest has a 504 plan that has been ignored through middle and high school, unless we are in the schools, on the phone, or e-mailing all the time. It just took a month to get one class switched. He flunked the first semester of honors/AP chemistry. We had to insist to his Counselor multiple times over a month plus period that he needed to be switched to a regular class which was available in the same time slot. We have been to any number of meetings with counselor, teachers, even principal, when it occurred to none of them to even bring a copy of his grades. We won't even discuss the number of teachers the guys have had who do not have a firm grasp of written English or programming/computer teachers who don't answer e-mail. Sorry for the first thing
in the morning rant. I just wanted to let people know that Montgomery County schools have lots of faults as well. Nina
