August 11, 2008 Board Minutes:
1. no mention of any pending negotiations with Direct Air, which was announced on September 5th, or any other airline.
2. no mention of status of negotiations with MassPort
3. no mention of what IMG is doing with the $100,000 that we have spent on them to retain and recruit an airline.
4. another extension of one year was asked for on the DOT Small Community Air Service grant which was set to expire in September after already being extended for one year.
5. two photo shoots as reported by ex Airport Director Waldron
6. Meeting started at 6:45 and ended at 6:51?
From now on I will keep checking the Airport Board minutes, but I am not going to comment on it anymore. I just got to believe that most of the real work is done outside the official board meetings, so reading these is actually pretty useless and a waste of time.

Wow!
Imagine that! the Federal AWB sunsets, Massachusetts keeps their version, and edged weapons fatalities are rising faster than ever?

I guess people really DO kill people! Will governor Devil put out an executive order outlawing possession of anything but plastic knives outside of kitchens and licenced restaurants?

ENOUGH of this I say. From now on any object that can cause injury/death and/or hyperventilation ( in sheeple) will be hensforth and forthwith be banned. All sheeple are to be fitted in a nerf suit at birth and kept in a climate controled bubble.

I was reading Worcester T&G on-line this morning about our City Council again ringing the bell for our local non-profits to be voluntarily involved in a PILOT Program – Payment In Lieu Of Taxes and it just seems to me as an ordinary average guy that our City Council should not be always dealing from a position of weakness when representing us. The rally cry for PILOT is always only at election time and now during an economic downturn and it just makes me an ordinary average guy really wondah how much smarter than this ordinary average guy our representatives really are?? I know our City Council supposedly got on a bus and not to the “No Name Restaurant” in Boston but to Providence, R.I. this year when it came to research the notorious “Yellah Box” issue that was going to clean up our junkie trash problem (any one heard about this success story lately? I know my neighborhood still suffahs from the stigma laid upon us from this issue:>) but has anyone on our City Council actually talked to folks in Somerville & Medford to see how they deal with Tufts University or how Cambridge deals with Harvard University & MIT???

We love to bang our College’s for more in this city but we are incredibly afraid to expect a huge percentage of our citizen’s (excuse me while I put down a shot of whiskey) to be productive….and give more of themselves!! That famous JFK speech “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country” has become nothing but a cliche in this country and most particular cause this is where I live, in Worcester!!

Sadly, it seems that over the years Worcester’s traditional Columbus Day parade seems to be offering less and less meaningful Italian American heritage.

This years parade seems to have about 1% Italian based division marching entries.

The Knights of Columbus does honorable work. I find it, however, unfortunate that there was no mention in the T&G insert of the Italian based churches in Worcester. Mt Carmel and Lady of Loreto Churches. Where are all the other IA based companies, leaders, organizations that do exist in the city?

I’m sure, however, there are plenty of Italian Americans participating, marching in parade bands, and making up some of the body cont of the various organizations marching. Maybe most of the Italian Americans are simply leaving Worcester.

Organizing such an event is hard work and no one can discredit that.

Congratulations to the parade committee for carrying out a tough job in city growing more and more apathetic.
