Community Update

Will not post on " Speakout " in response to Limeport Resident recent comment - so I am posting it here

=====================================

TOPIC = Thanks
for response on Upper Saucon Patch !

Find out what's happening in Upper Sauconwith free, real-time updates from Patch.



 A]        I will try to keep it brief and simple,
but always ask if need more info.



 B]        I am very busy even in retirement with
many projects, but feel the need to get involved like with the LMT elections.

 C]        Also, it is all part of my decades of
STS – NSF research about “ properly understanding and managing complex issues “
we were extensively trained in .



 D]        My new website gives my extensive and
intensive credentials, especially with respect to education and the legal
system, but I am not a lawyer also.



 E]        So I think I have some credibility.



 F]         These are my current opinions based on
these credentials and what I know at this time.



 G]        They should be only taken as “ another
voice “ among many on such complex issues.



 H]        The LMT website and Facebook give a lot
more specific details + many posts by others.



 I]          We need the input of many for many
reasons, so encourage all to participate in their own ways.



 J]         1]         It
is “ our “ school system as residents 
and taxpayers, not theirs.  They
are simply to implement property our wishes, not theirs. 



 2]         Yet they have voted for “ their wishes
“  not ours.  So action must be taken and many times the “
courts and lawyers “ must be involved to get them to properly behave like in so
many issues today, including the quarry..



 =======================================



 1]         This SLSD Board is acting like the
quarry – testing the residents and  legal
system to see how much they can get away with.



 2]         I cannot find their credentials.



 3]         A]        They
still have not publicized the report of their attorney that all this is legal
that they said they would.



             B]        Should
all lawyers involved also publicized their professional / legal  reports / opinions  on the many complex legalities involved ?



             C]        Will
such reports and legal opinions “ deter any future litigation “  so this matter can be properly resolved  “ out of “ expensive and lengthy court  ?



 4]         They appear to be not honoring their :”
fiduciary “ responsibilities so they can be sued and insurance will not cover
it – simply you cannot deliberately crash your car and expect insurance to
cover it and to be not sued.



 5]         A]        If
you knew and did nothing, you also can be sued and even sent to prison.  The Sandusky case is educating many in this
regard.



             B]        The
legal system is now going after “ all the assets “  – Madoff case – so spouses do not “ have to
“  testify against a spouse,”  but can “ 
– but when house, cars, retirement, etc. are now gone, some may indeed
testify to protect themselves,



6]         Look up the “ RICCO Act “ especially
for the mafia – triple punitive damages + many other costs !  Simply if two [2] or more conspire in illegal
activities.



 7]         What is the legal process to remove the
SLSD Board ?



 8]         Many times there are a lot of “ behind
the scenes “ activities to get them to voluntarily comply not only with the law,
but also many other aspects that they would not do in order to keep the PR
minimized.  Some call it “ legal
blackmail. “  But some think that they
just “ got away with it ! “



 9]         LMT’s very technical engineering report
showed that the SLSD Board proposal is seriously flawed.  They were “ not allowed “  to even present it at any of the meetings and
had to use the “ Right to Know Law “ to get the data since the SLSD Board
refused to provide it..



 10]       Should the residents, voters and
taxpayers formally vote on this issue ?



 11]       Ultimately it usually all works out,  but with a lot of innocents suffering.



 12]       Education is not only about getting a “ job
“ but getting a “ life ! “  Many forget



 that ! 
We owe them both,  just like we
got both – some more or less always of course.



 13]       Also “ new laws “ can be made and even
possibly retroactive.  I even made new law
to protect chemists. The organization still suffers greatly even today, but a
lot behind the scenes, but with the internet it is all out there to find
eventually  !



 14]       Note also many involved in such
activities are “ highly educated, experienced and paid. “  How do they think they can possibly get away
with it ?  Is that how they want to go
down in history and be their legacy forever ?



 =======================================



 I can go on
and on, but what is important is that “ all involved, “ not just LMT, be
properly informed about this so serious and expensive issue, along with letting
their voices be heard..



 I will refer
to this post it on the LMT Facebook site also. 
See my post thanking Lowell Linde for his presentation at the SLSD Board
meeting.



 So hope this
helps and others may be reading it also of course, including  those on the SLSD Board.



 “ Bottom line
– lot of questions, as noted on LMT Facebook – with few if any proper answers. 



 Frank Gadek
LMT Resident since 1974.



 P.S.



 If farmers
are so dumb, then why are there not a lot of others lining up to run their
farms better ?



 In my wine
industry life and career, a popular bumper sticker was “ When you complain
about farmers, do not talk with your mouth full ! “  Farmers of course provide the food to keep
your mouth full !



 Also I have
posted on the very popular books by Malcolm Gladwell that include many of the
scientifically  documented  ”  complexities of education. “   In many ways we have been operating the
education system in numerous very  “ wrong
ways, “  yet the right ways are clear
!  Why ? 
Well politics and  self  interests are always involved.



BTW – Simmons
now will h have Beyer, son of Karen,  as
an opponent in the LMT 2014 elections according to a Morning Call article, so
we must be prepared for that.  Simmons
has after two [2] terms yet to do anything about the quarry issue, but said he
would if elected.



 Please excuse
any typos since I am rushing this so it is timely !



 Many other
very illustrative stories to tell to further emphasize the above like you and
others do I am sure,  but   have
resisted for many reasons.
