I want the record to show and I hope the Valdosta Daily Tims will print it,
that former Superintendent Sam Allen, all he did
was to act as a professional, which he is.

Ken Klanicki expressed concerns about
Sam Allen’s speech the previous day on the steps of City Hall.
He had only read about it in the VDT, which of course has space limits.
You can
see and hear Sam Allen’s speech for yourself, thanks to George Rhynes.
Ken Klanicki also wanted to know who approved the use of City Hall
for that speech.
Ken probably didn’t know from the VDT that Mayor Sonny Vickers was standing
beside Sam Allen at the time, but you can see that for yourself.
We have just had a very divisive issue —Ken Klanicki @ VCC 10 November 2011

We need bicycle paths in this community, very very badly.
I travel to Europe… and they have bicycle paths all over,
and it helps our children as they are growing up.
It helps us as adults…. It helps all of us….
It is good for our children, our community.
I want you to think about the health care cost that those bicycles can save.
In the health care we have to pay, the hospitalization, the medical costs,
if we keep our bodies in good shape.
You have a grant in here now of about $75,000 to $100,000 … school money.
I can think of no finer way for those children than to walk the
sidewalk and to ride a bicycle.
That’s right: Roy Taylor spoke in favor of a grant, and for bicycles.
Bicyclers listened from the back before some of them spoke:

Sam Allen demonstrates Valdosta City and Lowndes County
School Boards cooperate, right there at the Board of Elections last night.
As he said, a 4 to 1 victory against 10 to 1 financial odds
proves grassroots organizing works.
It’s OK, to be beat. But to be beat by a one-armed man….
People say we don’t talk —Sam Allen 8 Nov 2011

George Rhynes complimented Ashley Paulk for having provided
information about people in jail when Paulk was Sheriff,
and noted that unfortunately that had not been the case since.
He asked if someone could point him to where he could get such
information.
Chairman Paulk reminded him that the Sheriff is a constitutional
officer, and the Commission did not direct him.
George Rhynes responded:
Everywhere I go, I hear that.
I go to Brooks County, and they inform me of the same thing.
Chairman Paulk noted:
… by state law.
They agreed on that, and George said he thought nonetheless:
Seems like somebody in the state of Georgia would know how to get that information,
if it is open.
George Rhynes tied together parents, jobs, Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act, and local education at the
VBOE 25 October 2011 open forum.
His question:
If we are concerned about our children really getting an education,
better be concerned about equal employment
and getting federal funds,
so these parents get their equal share of the jobs,
in the community….
I’m talking about the qualified parents
that apply for jobs in this area and some of you know they don’t get them.

Valdosta, Lowndes County and other concerned citizens marched from the
Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce building through downtown
to Rev. Martin L. King Jr., Monument. There were many speeches given
along with the sharing of ideas at this historic event. The marchers
were lead by Valdosta Police Department and eneded in peace as we all
expected in our beloved community. Peace!
