Joplin Globe supports expansion of JHS Performing Arts Center
That is probably at least four days more than it took the Joplin Globe to decide it is fully behind the proposal.
The means for financing the expansion were left a bit iffy- a mixture of grants, donations, and wishful thinking appeared to be the plan, but nevertheless, the Globe, which has also supported every proposal these people have come up with, whether it be in their guise as Connect2Culture, or in their other identities as the Joplin Progress Committee or CART (Citizens Advisory Recovery Team) is 100 percent behind this one, even in its birthing stage.
Considering the lack of progress on the development of the tornado-stricken part of the city, you would think the Globe's Editorial Board might be a bit more cautious in its praise of this proposal- at least to the extent of taking a wait-and-see approach.
Instead, it was two thumbs up.
The headline should have said "Spoiler Alert," instead of "This makes sense."
The editorial begins in this fashion:
There is no doubt that Joplin needs a performing arts center. We need a place where the community could gather to view small Broadway productions, national theatrical touring productions, contemporary and classic rock, jazz, dance troupes, opera, and an entire melting pot of the arts like Joplin has not been able to attract for years.
The Globe Editorial Board continues with its praise for the project, noting most tellingly that it will give a jump start to the development of 20th Street.
The editorial ends with this comment:
Yes, we're still a long way from the final vision, but not that far away from opening the curtains on something we think is the solution to a big cultural void in Joplin. We're excited for the possibilities.
The city would be better served with a solution to the big newspaper void in Joplin, but that would be too much to hope for. These people who have attempted to control the city by commandeering the development of the tornado zone, choosing the "proper' candidates for city council and school board, and have provided us with Wallace-Bajjali Development Partners and its well of endless promises have needed a news source to keep an eye on it.
Instead, the Globe has chosen to wave his pom-pons and cheer every outlandish idea that has come down the pike.
This Connect2Culture plan is lacking in details and seems destined to be just another proposal that the taxpayers will pay for, perhaps not in local taxes, but state and federal. Those grants have to come from somewhere.
I am all in favor of more culture for Joplin.
I am also in favor of keeping an eye on Connect2Culture and the Joplin R-8 Board of Education and making sure that tax money is spent wisely and not thrown away on costly ideas that look great on the resumes , but leave the rest of us paying the bills.

Melanie Huonker leaves KSN for Tucson

Huonker has been at KSN since May 2012, replacing original Living Well host Toni Valliere.
Billy Long: It's time to build the Keystone Pipeline
The application to build the Keystone XL pipeline was submitted to the U.S. Department of State over six years ago. The Keystone XL is a simple extension of the existing Keystone pipeline and represents a great opportunity to strengthen our domestic energy security and provide Americans with jobs.
On November 14, the House again passed legislation to build this infrastructure project by a vote of 252 to 161. Then the Harry Reid-led Senate rejected legislation to move forward on the pipeline by one vote on November 18.
There is strong bipartisan support in both the House and Senate to build this pipeline, but President Obama has repeatedly dragged his feet delaying construction of this state-of-the-art energy infrastructure project. The House and Senate will send legislation next year to President Obama and he will have to act. Time will tell if President Obama will veto this legislation and say no to the jobs and domestic energy security that would come with the construction of the Keystone XL.
The Keystone XL is an opportunity to lessen our dependence on oil from the Middle East. The U.S. Department of Energy indicated the pipeline would be able to move up to 830,000 barrels of oil per day. This is half the amount of oil our country imports from the Middle East.
Construction of the pipeline would also support 42,100 jobs, both direct and indirect, according to the U.S. Department of State's Environmental Impact Statement.
I remain steadfast in finding a solution to ensure the Keystone XL gets built so we can strengthen our domestic energy security while providing hard working Americans with good paying jobs.

C. J. Huff supporter contributes $115,000 to State Auditor Schweich
This running commentary seems to go in line with the idea being pushed that Humphreys has bought the state audit of the Joplin R-8 School District, therefore anything that is discovered during the audit has to be taken with a grain of salt.
First, I have reported on Humphreys' contributions over the years, including the $111,111 to Schweich.
The propaganda wave attempting to discredit the audit before the results are revealed can be expected. It started before the audit even began, with supporters of C. J. Huff making sure the media were aware of Humphreys' contributions. Stories in newspapers across the state suggested an ulterior motive, while reporting that C. J. Huff had requested that an audit take place.
One thing that has not been mentioned is that one noted C. J. Huff supporter, Peter Herschend of Silver Dollar City, the president of the State Board of Education, who held a closed door meeting with Huff at 32nd and Duquesne shortly before the R-8 superintendent announced he was in the running for the Missouri commissioner of education position, has contributed $115,000 to Schweich, according to Missouri Ethics Commission documents.
Both Herschend and Humphreys have been contributing to Schweich for the past few years.
It is safe to say we are getting a professionally done audit.
It is also safe to say that we need to do something about a system that permits unlimited contributions to candidates.

Reader: Climate of fear continues to grow at East Middle School
I agree 100% with Mr. Sexson. There is a culture problem at East Middle School. However, this is the only thing we agree on.
The culture problem was not with the 10 that left, but rather with the 2 that remain- Mr. Sexson and Mr. Weaver. They fail to acknowledge or take responsibility for their inability to be leaders. They are also unable to admit that their educational experiments are dismal failures. Instead, they harass and bully staff. The culture of fear in the Joplin District is best exemplified at East Middle School.
Teachers are scared to take a stand because Mr. Sexson and Mr. Weaver, with the complete support of Dr. Huff, have made examples of those who dare to disagree. To say it is a hostile work environment would be an understatement. Teachers who ask questions, dare to write a referral, or who aren't in the administrations inner-circle of favorites are harassed until they leave.
Yes Mr. Weaver, referrals are down because there is no discipline. You do not know the professional method of handling discipline. Giving teachers binders of suggestions, screaming and turning red are not professional, nor are they acceptable. Teachers do not write referrals because they are the ones reprimanded, not the student. Students are encouraged to "run to the principal to tell on the teacher".
The climate of fear, mixed with experimental educational practices at the whim of two administrators that are constantly in competition with each other is not healthy for adults or children.
It is also not ethical that Mr. Sexson is rarely at work due to his inability to take care of his personal business on his own time. He is using the taxpayers' time to have his cable installed, take care of his banking, and have maintenance done on his vehicles. And, yet Dr. Huff and the BOE let it continue.
Dr. Huff and the BOE cannot declare innocence because they have been told numerous times about the problems at East, complete with detailed documentation. They have been begged to investigate. They turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.
No, the culture has not changed with the 10 that left. The culture at East continues to be a problem. Mr. Sexson and Mr. Weaver engage in a daily power struggle, teachers are isolated in their "houses" -therefore trust and cooperative teaching are not nurtured, there is still an absence of discipline and sound educational practices, and the climate is fear continues to grow.

C. J. Huff announces another JHS ribbon-cutting, tells why he is so awesome
Huff made the announcement during a one hour Facebook question-and-answer session this afternoon.
Huff's thoughts on other topics:
Lights left on at Joplin High School
Dr. CJ Huff I'm responding to a question from a couple days ago related to the lights being left on in the gymnasium at Joplin High School over night. As it stands right now, there is on-going electrical work happening after school hours in the gymnasium. We have a mid-night shift of custodians who come in at mid-night to clean the gymnasium in preparation for the next day of school
Conflicts of interest in Bright Futures
Dr. CJ Huff There was a question regarding a conflict of interest between Bright Futures Joplin and Joplin Schools. There may be confusion over the role of Bright Futures Joplin and the organization Bright Futures USA, which is a not-for-profit organization. Bright Futures Joplin is an affiliate community of Bright Futures USA. Currently, there are roughly 34 Bright Futures USA affiliate communities in 7 states serving over 150,000 children.
The funding for Bright Futures Joplin is provided for by community donors who see the need to support children in our community whose basic needs aren't being met. There are three components to the work of Bright Futures Joplin. 1. Meeting children's basic needs when those needs are identified within 24 hours by working with local human service organizations and interested donors, 2. Building community leadership capacity by engaging the community in conversations and problem solving around some of the greater challenges faced by our kids, 3. Providing opportunities for children to give back to the community that gives them so much through service learning projects. We are proud of the fact Bright Futures started in Joplin and that other communities have see the value in supporting their children and their teachers like we support ours and have adopted the framework as well. There is no conflict of interest as this program is supported by the community. Donations for Bright Futures Joplin are included in the Joplin Schools budget as a separate line item and is tracked separately. It is a collaborative partnership between the community and Joplin Schools.
The Ferguson Grand Jury Decision
Dr. CJ Huff It's certainly something we are watching closely in Joplin. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the community of Ferguson. There are so many good people who are doing the right thing by demonstrating peacefully. Last night we had a peaceful demonstration in Joplin on Main Street.
Broken Windows in Buildings
Dr. CJ Huff I'm only aware of one broken window in the school. It happened a few months ago during construction and hasn't been replaced yet. It is on the punch list to be repaired by the contractor that broke the window. As for the heat, we do have heat. One of the processes we have to go through with any new system in large buildings is a balancing of the heating and air systems. Now that the heat is on, the contractor responsible for balancing the system is going through the building and adjusting the system. This will be an on-going project for a year or so as the building cycles through the variations in temperatures as the seasons change. It is not as comfortable as it should be, but it is in the process of being fixed.
What Will Be Done with Empty Buildings?
Dr. CJ Huff We have a facilities committee that is working on that question right now, as well as several other facility related questions that we need to get answered. Our plan is to have a recommendation ready for the Board to consider early this next spring.

How Does C. J. Huff Remain So Awesome?
Dr. CJ Huff All subjects are working on the criteria by which we determine whether or not children are meeting the standards. For grading purposes meeting these criteria determine whether or not students have reached mastery. It provides clarity to the students as to where they are on their way to mastery of a particular standard and gives parents a better sense of their child's growth areas. It benefits kids by aligning the curriculum vertically K-12 and providing consistency to both students and teachers system-wide.
