  • I met with Ron after the school board meeting on September 28.  This is what I learned about the candidate for Kennewick School Board position 4. As a young man growing up in rural North Carolina, Ron experienced low expectations from his teachers who advised many students to plan their futures on the farms around his town.  He was determined to find success in engineering and is now with PNNL managing a facility dedicated to improving national security at U.S. borders.

  • You, as campaign manager for Brian Brooks, candidate for Kennewick School Board position 5, wrote a letter in support of his appointment to the interim school board position which was published in the Tri-City Herald (9/13/2011).   While describing Brooks’ background and attributes you took a backhanded swipe at the educators who had applied for the interim position with your statement, “Brian is not a professional educator, as are others who wanted to be appointed to the board.  For citizens that’s a plus, not a detriment.” Given that you are an educator who served on the Kennewick School Board from 1977 to 1979, I am trying to understand your logic.

    Nancy Kerr, please help me understand.

  • Ne-far-i-ous: heinously or impiously wicked.  Detestable, iniquitous, vicious.  Involved in a conspiracy. Nefarious is not in my active vocabulary and is not even a thought I generally think.  However, when Heather Kintzley used “nefarious” in her comments to my inquiry about the Kennewick School Board decision to appoint a school board candidate to the open school board position, I began wondering, “what could be ‘nefarious’?”
