Newsies & Why Puff the Magic Dragon Needs to be Surveyed by Charlottesville Schools

Apparently UVA’s blue safety phones don’t work. P.S. What, Cav Daily can actually publish meaningful articles!? [CD]

Are we facing a major slowdown in housing with potentially negative housing assessments? Jim, where is your opinion? [DP]

Event: Out of Control will spin tonight (November 15) at R2 inside Rapture on the Downtown Mall. WNRN DJs Patrick Allen and AudioRapture, no strangers to the Alternative Dance Music genres, will be spinning four hours of tunes sure to get your body moving. Will they clean up the scene?

Did you know about that new web only UVA publication called the Sentinel? Well, google “sentinel uva” and your first result is “Sentinel Program for Rodent Colonies at University of Virginia.” Oops. Maybe this link back will help them. [S]

Charlottesville City Schools are asking 4th graders the following questions [WCAV, Direct Link to Survey]:

Within the last year have you..
Drank alcohol (beer,liquor,etc.)?
Smoked marijuana (pot)?
Inhaled glue, gas, etc. to get high?
Used other drugs to get high?
Used tobacco (cigarettes,chew,etc.)?

The real problem with the survey is that they aren’t giving the kids enough names for the drugs. Marijuana has many names, let’s not forget Ganja, Aunt Mary, Boom, Blond, Blunt, Bud, Cheeba, Chunky, Columbian Pot, Don Juan, Doobie, Fu, Grass, Hay, Jay, Kif, Leaf, Magic Dragon, Mary Jane, Rasta, Reefer, Sen, Skunk and those are only the English names. Videos are hidden names for drugs as well..

I.E. THE DRAGON EATS HOMEWORK

    I know someone who hit one of those blue lights over by old dorms. Someone’s parent had fainted, hit their head, and was bleeding profusely. It took ten minutes for someone to show up. I think someone called on a cell phone and actually got that response.

    Upstart was there when my mom fainted. I hit the button, I also called by cell, and then I responded myself because the police didn’t show up.

    Okay…I’m someone. I’ll be the second to make fun of myself when I so something silly.

    It’s a true story, though. A mother did collapse and hit her head by old dorms and it did take 10 minutes for help to arrive. I don’t know why they took that long. The responders didn’t offer an explanation.

    Regarding the assessments - I think we’re in for a very difficult couple of years, based primarily on the government’s inability to not spend every nickel they get.

    The County’ budgetary process - whereby they guess how much they are going to bring in and then set their budget should change.

    I predict very interesting debate on the blogs about how the County needs to be more responsible with our money, how assessments have been increasing astronomically for years and where did all that money go … and then a tax increase.
