PulseLine, March 9, 2013

Yeah, calling on the snowstorm.  It’s Friday morning and I noticed there is a dusting, couple of inches possible, and school has a two-hour delay. How come the day before they let school out early and there wasn’t a snowflake around?  It was sunny out, beautiful, kids were outside in t-shirts. I was up by the trade school and noticed all the kids out there frolicking and leaving early and there was really no need for it.  I think some things have to been checked out and looked at in this city.  It starts at the top – it starts to flush down.  Thank you very much. Thursday’s half-day had nothing to do with weather.  Grades 6-12 were released early for that evening’s parent-teacher conferences.  PreK-grade 5 had a full day of school.  Thursday’s weather report from Barnes Municipal Airport recording an average mean temperature of 35.4 °F with a mean wind speed of 16.23 MPH.  Perfect t-shirt frolicking weather!

Instead of smart mouth answers to questions asked through the PulseLine, mine being what did the new bicycle on top of the ugly $500,000 clock cost, when you had the answer, which was $2,500 supposedly, why don’t you just give the answer and keep your smart mouth to yourself? 

Yeah, I, too, agree with the person who wrote into The Westfield News Thursday, or called in about, the PulseLine only seems to put in there what they feel like putting in.  That’s why the PulseLine is so small now.  People don’t want to call because they know their articles aren’t going to get in if it doesn’t agree with the person who is answering these questions.  And, by the way, some of these questions that are being answered and put in the PulseLine are way off base.  Evidently this person hasn’t been around the city of Westfield long enough.  Me? I’ve been here 78 years.  There would be a lot to be had in this city if it was run right.  But that’s the problem – it isn’t run right.  Have a good day. Since the summer of 2011 the PulseLine has been featured daily in The Westfield News, meaning the entries are spread out over six days.  There is the same total amount of entries and any entries dealing with local concerns are published.
