Can someone please remind me of the name of the restaurant that used to be at the corner of B street and 126, in front of the La Posada motel?

School Board Meeting

Parents, teachers, community members

Please attend the school board meeting on Tuesday, February 28, 2012. On the agenda is a proposal to eliminate K-3 class size reduction. This will have a dramatic effect on every student and staff member in the district. Class sizes will go up K-5, not just K-3. Valuable, talented teachers will lose their jobs. Teachers will be transferred to grade levels where they have little or no experience. There will be an increase in combo classes. How do you think this will affect test scores? Elimination of a middle school counselor. Fewer students will get help when they need it the most. This is in the best interest of the students? There are other items that impact students directly as well. Please come and listen to the recommendations, question the decisions being made and encourage the board to put students first.

County seeking $21 million in grant funding for deficient levees

I'll go out on a limb and guess that Fillmore didn't put their hat in the ring for this.

Fillmore's Sales Tax increase

Nov 8, 2011 we, the voting citzens of Fillmore, will be voting on an increase to our sales tax charged by local businesses. It will make Fillmore's sales tax the highest in Ventura County. Do you support the increase, if so why, if not why not. There has been no open discussion about this,I wonder why. Is the Mayor hoping that only her friends will turn out to vote, so it will pass? Did you know about the vote? Are you going to vote on Nov. 08, 2011?

Toxic Waste Site

Has anyone heard rumors about a proposed toxic waste site in Fillmore? Supposedly it's being kept hush hush...by who I don't know, so that the community won't be able to do anything about it. I would like to know if this is a rumor or a real possibility.

Thanks!

HS kids to run in LA Marathon

I just wanted to let you know that there are, I believe, 6 Fillmore High School Students running this weekend in the LA Marathon. I think that is a huge accomplishment and very proud of the students that will be running. Unfortunately the only kids that I know their names are Sammy Martinez and Alexander Frias. I would like to say best of luck to them all.

Flashes Baseball

Flashes Baseball season is underway! The Flashes hosted Santa Clara this afternoon for first game of 2011 the season. The Flashes took control of the game in the first inning and didn't let up. The final score was 9 to 3 for Fillmore. Coach Suttle leads the team this year, after taking a several year brake from the Head Coach position. Coach Husband is back to help with the pitching staff. Based upon observations the team is coming together well and has depth on the mound. 2011 should be a great year for Fillmore Flashes Baseball.

When did Barney Fife become cloned?

I was running listening to the kinks 1966 LP on my ipod last night around 9pm on central when they pulled beside me. At the speed I was jogging they paced along side me for over two blocks. After a while they shinned the spotlight on me and I stopped. I asked in a easy tone "hi, can i help you" and they simply drove off. No reason like ghosts in the night air they simply vanished. the rest of my jog was uneasy not by the fear of getting in some sort of trouble. No it was much worse, it was the feeling that these patrol cars are trying to play big city cop in my mayberry. I tried over and over again to understand the reason behind they way they have become this way to the average citizen. i couldn't be the way I dressed because no matter how hard you try you can not look like a hardened gangster wearing yellow, blue and bright green.
This wouldn't be a problem but it is not the first time or even the tenth. Being an adult and not even close to a teen this to me is becoming a normality for people in this town. For some they could ignore it and say to themselves well they are doing there job but I remember when you could take a walk at night or jog and the local sheriffs would wave and smile. Talking to others in this town I have noticed a certain fear of the local P.D. by comon law abiding citizens. How did this happen to my town? Who hired these Barney Fife's

Give Peace A Chance

Please folks, I do not want to be the ONLY blogger in here. In the past, I was the "Blog Hog King". Sorry...'don't mean to be...honest! The reason for that handle (and "Jackie The Jackass") was because nobody else except a select few came in and made comments, and my comments were many (and sometimes ridiculous). I was eventually limited to three a day and at 300 words per. I accepted gracefully, and commented on most articles during the week. We do not need to be against each other at all. All of us want better government and express opinions on various things in our lives. Please accept this; this is constructive criticism and constructive communications! I just have a great opportunity to be available just like everyone else, to blog on articles and issues - voicing opinions both ways on matters involving Fillmore. I hold true to Fillmore and California. This is a local and honest news media (The Fillmore Gazette) and reports editorial opinions (of the Editor) factually. The comments by anyone (seniors, students, housewives, businessmen, firemen, city manager, mayor - whoever) are also opinion. I personally, without the sanction or request of the Gazette in any way, request support by expressing yourself. You can obtain my email through my permission to the Gazette if you like to contact me personally. There are so many nice comments I see in the recent weeks, and let's keep the ball rolling here. It's like in life itself, we all say nice things about those who have passed into another life as God promised us, but do we ever communicate or say nice things or communicate to each other here on earth when we are alive, then regret not saying or expressing it? Give peace a chance. JTJK

Happy Holidays

Very best holiday wishes to the staff of the Gazette and fellow bloggers. May you all be blessed with joy, health and an abundance of love in this holiday season.
