Robotics Program Determines Careers

Andrew, Just to say there were many fine students and excellent teams. This is a program worth following and I hope to do so in the future.

South Bay Community Services Looks Good on Paper

chulavistaguy, I think any organization that subsists on public subsidies should have to open the books and should be subject to public record requests. There are SBCS audits by county agencies but the depth is unclear.

Southwestern College Vice President Nicholas Alioto Resigns

coast, You seem to have hit on two things--people are commenting on timing, on a resignation midweek--mid month. And people on campus are trying to focus on preparation for the accreditation review.

Users of Norman Park Senior Center to Stage Protest for More Hours

Pancho, You need to read more attentively before you lash out. The article was written and published prior to the demonstration. It came as a result of sitting in on a two hour Senior Unity planning meeting at the Norman Center several days prior to the council meeting. It was a pleasure to hear the group organizing for every eventuality—including the fundraiser at Fuddruckers. It was an article on how they had been affected by the cutbacks and the varied strategies they were planning to deal with the cutbacks. It is also incorrect to presuppose that people’s “demographics” necessarily mean they have more time. Also please read comments more carefully. The comment does not say for or against Prop H—what the comment says is that the city should have done more planning (saving) when it had lots of money—when as in 2003 (LA Times) it was among the 10 fast growing cities in the nation. Even now, I believe the CV centennial material calls it the 7th – in the nation. Chula Vista voted down Proposition H. And the city is no longer rich. Now what?

Users of Norman Park Senior Center to Stage Protest for More Hours

ahh Pancho good to see you back. I'm glad you mentioned that about all the rec centers. The effect on the children will be terrible. However, this article is about the people who are going out and making their cause. I would like to see more from parks and recs people before the council or wearing black and sitting down on the corner by the police station. As for Prop H. We must take a longer view of the recent telecom hike that failed in November. Could all of Chula Vista's economic problems have started around then, or failed around then; no. If the city leaders have nothin shakin for their residents than a johnny -come -lately tax on telecom after being the wealthiest, fastest growing city in the country...well then maybe...they might have planned better or be more creative nowadays....

Users of Norman Park Senior Center to Stage Protest for More Hours

Mindy, I heard someone ask at a city council meeting a week or two ago--Isn't the purpose of leadership to plan ahead? There was a time when Chula Vista was rolling in the dough and during that time we had the most extravagant city hall and police station built you can imagine. But now our parks and recreation programs, library hours, things that serve the population are slashed to the point that they barely serve at all. Makes me think of the story of the three little pigs and the house built of straw.

Personnel Changes at Southwestern College

Visduh, You've called it correctly. There was a rumor for a brief period of time on Soutwestern's campus that one of the DAs was making inquiries, but that seems to have died down. With Proposition O in trouble in Sweetwater, it's time for a deep look at the whole bond/contract award/election process. Susan

Personnel Changes at Southwestern College

oskidoll, I'm impressed with Wilson's pension. Amazing. Records show he was making $165.00 an hour working for Seville shortly after retiring from Southwestern.

Personnel Changes at Southwestern College

Founder, You're right, the student voice is absent. Perhaps more outreach is in order. The college newspaper The Sun is online.
