Response to Mayor James, CUT US SOME SLACK.

Bill, no one expects you three new members to explain what went on in the back room of the Democrat Club.

Don\’t try to put a pretty face on an ugly picture. Notify those council members that voted to approve these two highly questioned purchases that they will be given an opportunity to explain each project and explain the rationale that supports their vote at the next Council Meeting. That way every person in town can see on TV 19 what we all want to know.

It also allows us to know who the leaders and who the followers are. Instruct Paul Kain to put it on the agenda so we don\’t have another mishap like the job announcements fiasco. In case he can\’t figure it out, it lists under old business.

When is the last time you can say that an offseason with the Oakland A\’s wasn\’t interesting? I can\’t remember. This offseason has been no different with the team first firing Ken Macha, announcing plans to move to Fremont, a very thorough search for a new manager leading to the hiring of Bob Geren, the loss of Frank Thomas to a team that plays on an artificial surface, the signing of Mike Piazza and the loss of Barry Zito. It\’s been a wild one for the team that was one of baseball\’s final four teams standing in 2006.

So you know that Billy Beane would just have a lot of interesting things to say about all that has gone down since the 2006 season came to a rapid close at the hands of the Detroit Tigers.

I sat down with Beane last week in his office in Oakland for one of our chats and what follows is the first part of our discussion.

Blez: What was your reaction to last season and the ultimate result?

Billy Beane: We were all pleased especially if you look at it in hindsight, particularly with what we went through with the injuries. It was an unbelievable year when you look at the sheer number of injuries and the fact that we accomplished what we did. I think one of the reasons we were able to overcome it was because the year before (2005) the injuries, and the Angels had a lot to with it, prevented us from winning the division. I think last year we had a tougher injury year but because of the depth of club we were able to overcome it. We got beat by Detroit who was a buzzsaw in that ALCS, but we were the same thing with Minnesota. So in hindsight we were very pleased with what happened.

The interview with Beane (a three part series) concluded on Jan. 31. You will be able to access all three interviews with a simple click

For those looking for an interesting site to visit (besides ClearysNotebook) I recommend you visit Arlington Cemetery\’s web site, especially since we are in the middle of a War. It is very informative and moving.

A Funeral Service is conducted for a woman who has just passed away. At the end of the service, the pallbearers are carrying the casket out of the church when they accidentally bump into a wall, jarring the casket. They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find that the woman is actually alive. She lives for 10 more years then dies.
Once again, a ceremony is conducted, and at the end of it, the pallbearers are again carrying out the casket, As they head toward the doors of the church, the husband cries out, \”Watch that wall.\”

Bill,

I enjoy your column and am now an addict of your website! I am very concerned about your \”Jeer\” in last week\’s News about the Kilcourse administration agreeing to build an office building on the \”Oh! Hara\’s\” parking lot!

First of all, this is a public lot, for all the businesses in the area, and also the residents use it since (1) Oh!Hara\’s customers park on the streets as well as in the lot, and
(2)we (residents of the 100 block of Hudson)have to park there when a storm is threatening, because our street floods over 2 1/2 feet which would ruin our cars!

Of course, that\’s a whole different subject, because a former mayor insisted the storm drains were fixed. Anyway, we need this parking lot! We also lost 3 to 4 parking spots on the Oh!Hara\’s block due to the ridiculous extended sidewalk installed a few years ago! It serves no purpose whatsoever! 

I thought there was an ordinance forcing businesses to have a certain number of parking spots for their customers! If they take that lot, where will everyone park, including the Holt Cargo employees? And speaking of Holt, why are we kissing their butt when they broke the initial lease of the Coast Guard
base? They do nothing in this town but create an eyesore on our once beautiful waterfront, plus make a lot of noise through the night when residents are sleeping.

I would appreciate a comment from our new mayor and council about this proposed project, please.
Thank you!

Paula Conroy,

Gloucester
