RE: McDowell disowns his own child Do not make reference by name to the mother of Mr. McDowell's child again. The situation speaks to his credibility relating to morals and ethics, but he's the elected official/candidate, not the mother of the child. Thank you.
The goons across the hall can comment on the "morals and ethics" of Kenny McDowell, but Joanne Pilchesky is off limits?
The above ADMIN comment comes on the heels of Glenn Cashuric's comments below, and the immediate response thereto: (God, I'm starting to write like baldy)
RE: McDowell disowns his own child Why is this poor woman getting dragged onto this site? You know, she may actually have friends and relatives who DO NOT KNOW these salacious details.
It is my opinion that references to this woman, unless she is the poster making them, should be edited from this thread. Kenny is a public figure. She is not. If it were my sister or daughter, I would be angry.
RE: McDowell disowns his own child Blame Kenny. He made it a public issue. Are we not to know he knocked up a young woman half his age and then turned his back on the baby and his parental obligations? Think again. See the media vs. Don Sherwood. The truth hurts. Why are you defending McDowell?
It's interesting that many posters who added their two cents on this thread seem to not really know ANYTHING about the subject at hand, but because their fearless leaders have made Ken McDowell a frequent target, they get the mob mentality.
Did Joanne Pilchesky consult her conscience, and no-doubt, bottomless sense of morality when she was running her little check kiting scheme?
Well I'm glad to see that he spoke up about it ... I somehow knew that Glenn would .. but here is the thing I just read the thread and instead of taking out the woman's name ... it remains unedited ...
Come on Joey take out the names

ONCE AGAIN you have the DD Goons using a child (and her mother) to beat on someone who is guilty of the high crime of not being liked by Pilchesky. Classy, real classy. Even worse, that f&^king moron "Gatellis Blue Dress" (& speaking of morons, that would be "Gatelli's", not "Gatellis"...I wonder who that poster had for an English teacher?) sits there and tries to defend the postings.
We had this one ID'ed in the Moderators forum, but didn't post it here because it doesn't deserve any more publicity. I'm sure that Glenn C probably sent a PM to a Pilchesky about the thread, but consider this...Gatelli's granddaughter was brought up again at DD less than two weeks ago, now this...is this really what is the DD board about? Is this an example of political discourse, or simply hateful gossip of the very worse variety?
One last point...while Edith and Joey delete/edit postings that ask genuine questions about the hiring of Janet Evans as a full-time SSD teacher, they decide that somehow the Kenny McD thread is less offensive. If that mere fact doesn't cause some of the DD crew to stop and think for a moment, then nothing will.

Nothing will make most of them stop and think ... they thrive on that crap ... and if anyone dares to question them they turn on them ... so much for being a site that is devoted to being able to have an opinion ... the only opinions that count there are ones that support what Joey thinks and who Joey hates ... if you have a genuine thought and an open mind ... you just are not welcome there!

The only person that knows for sure is Janet Evans. But consider this:
...in the Scranton School District (SSD), it's the members of the School Board that make final hiring decisions to fill all vacancies. ...teachers are placed on a hiring list and assigned a number; the higher the number, the more likely a teacher is to get a full-time appointment. ...Janet Evans was a sitting school board director when the she was hired. ...I don't know how long she was on the eligibilty list, but it would not surprise me if she wasn't on the list long. ...it's not uncommon for someone to be on the list for several itterations before getting hired...assuming they ever get hired.
Case in point: my wife was on the eligibility list for elementary education for two itterations before she was eventually hired. At the time she was hired, she had five years of Catholic school teaching experience as was an active district substitute (including two terms as a long-term sub). To give you an idea of scope, the first eligibility list that my wife was on had three names on it.
The bottom line is this: A conflict of interest was created when Janet Evans was jockying for a teaching position while simultaneously serving on the board that hires teachers. The right thing to do was one of the following...
1. Immediately resign her position of the board the moment her name was placed on the eligibility list (this assumes that she was actually on the list to begin with).
OR
2. Remove her name from the eligibility list as long as she was serving as a director.
Ms Evans, however, chose a third path: namely remaining on both the board that hires teachers and on the list of teachers awaiting to be hired. Only after knowing that she secured the full time teaching position did she resign. This is a textbook example of a conflict of interest, AND IF ANYONE OTHER THAN JANET EVANS EVER DID ANYTHING LIKE THIS, THE DD/LoD GOONS WOULD BE ALL OVER IT. As a side note, a DD toadie once explained the whole Janet fiasco by saying something like this: "Janet was so much for the people and so much against corruption that the other directors (who were all corrupt and fearful of Janet's cursades for the people...probably all Irish Catholic don't you know) found her the teaching position just to get her off the board".

So the DD toadie is saying that Jan was offered a deal (job) to shut up and she took it? Hummm... wouldn't that make her as guilty of corruption as the people she complains about daily? She "paid (shut up and left) to play( got a cushy job)" right?
As to the night she got the job, check the meeting minutes. I think it was around 1993 or so, not sure of the month. She actually resigned her board position and accepted the teaching position in the same meeting. It was amazing.

I was at that meeting ... I remember it quite well. I remember he teary eyed goodbyes to all of the board members ... she went around the room and gave them all hugs and thanked them ... And even her adoring (gag) husband Dave was there that night ... he was standing out in the hall as I remember it ... right in the doorway watching each move she made.
And correct me if I am wrong ... my memory as I get older is not quite what it once was ... but wasn't Gary DiBileo her replacement?
