Cassie Davenport responds to Sen. Wise's clarification of SB 1 'Senator Wise and his colleagues will say that they do not devalue the arts. However, the language and actions of Senate Bill 1 does.' - CASSIE DAVENPORT A response to Senator Max Wise: Myths & Facts about SB 1 By Cayce Davenport Personal commentary To follow up my previous request to act against SB-1 and in response to Senator Wise's clarification of the bill I wanted to point out a few details. This past Wednesday in the Kentucky State Senate something repeated throughout the Senate Bill 1 proposals from its stewards was "let the teachers teach." One could hear the collective bipartisan rise of agreement from all teachers state wide in all grades, all subjects. No teacher will dispute that the amount of bureaucratic paperwork and non-instructional responsibilities slash into time we have to do what we are needed for most...teaching. Not to say that all non-instructional responsibilities are time wasted. Monitoring students between classes, contacting parents, coaching a team, or sponsoring a club are some non-instructional responsibilities which strengthen relationships and create connections that makes time in our classroom more meaningful.

Tom Chaney: Slip F-18, Bahia Mar, Fort Lauderdale Of Writers And Their Books: Slip F-18, Bahia Mar, Fort Lauderdale. Tom tells us that John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee is a kind of Don Quixote rescuing maidens in distress and punishing evil doers whose evil doing is beyond the reach of the law. He is also a recovery expert taking half for his stash of cash hidden aboard his houseboat. This column first appeared 15 May 2005. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: "These Are the Times That Try Men's Souls" By Tom Chaney Slip F-18, Bahia Mar, Fort Lauderdale For twenty-one years Travis McGee lived on his houseboat, The Busted Flush -- won in a poker game -- at Slip F-18, Bahia Mar, Fort Lauderdale. He lived, of course, in the novels of John D. MacDonald (1916-1986). When he ventured forth by land, he drove Miss Agnes, a 1936 Rolls Royce converted to a pickup truck by a previous owner. MacDonald published some forty-plus very good suspense novels before he came to Travis McGee in 1964. Evidently he was either in a writing frenzy or he had been tinkering with Trav to get him right, for he published four of the novels that year.
