March Confidential: Bullied by the Council

Posted on March 1, 2016

With February 2016 in the rear view mirror, ELGL co-founder Kent Wyatt returns with all the news and happenings that are deemed important in the Wyatt household.

Tar…

Heels! So, you guys are as excited as I am about UNC being in the Final Four? (Kansas fans: Now you know how UNC fans feel when we lose to you in the tournament each year.) While we should celebrate UNC’s success, we can’t overlook Coach K’s childish behavior. Here are a couple reminders: This isn’t the first time Coach K has lectured an opponent and denied it and Gary Williams: Coach K’s hypocrisy after loss to Oregon ‘bothered me a little bit’

Reader question: I know you are a big UNC fan. Will you be attending the Final Four in Houston?

Answer: Absolutely not. Unless one of the loyal readers wants to fly me first class to Houston and gives me courtside seats. Otherwise, the view from my living room will be just fine. Only downside? My kids might learn a few new adult words on Saturday night. I thank you (the reader) in advance for rooting for UNC and putting in a few extra prayers for a UNC national championship.

My Two Man Crushes

Yes, it’s true. I love Eddie Vedder and Bruce Springsteen. Kirsten and I went to a Bruce concert last week. Bruce puts on a great show and we’re always some of the youngest people at the show. Score.

I missed my dream of dreams by one day. Eddie Vedder and Bruce joined forces for one song in Seattle. This may be the only time I’ve wished that I live in Seattle.

#ManInTree

That’s right – #ManInTree beat Hillary Clinton in Twitter popularity yesterday. #ManInTree hung out atop a 80 ft. tree in downtown Seattle for 25 hours. He busied himself by periodically throwing apples and branches at onlookers. I would be failing you if I didn’t share my favorite #ManInTree tweet.

Skyscrapers but No Sewage System

Skyscrapers are great and everything. Pretty to look at, they make for a nice picture, but not if the smell of sewage permeates in the air.

RDU to PDX

Cd9Xx6bXEAEDgRlThis is the first of a few NC related updates. (I know you’ve been refreshing your browser for the last five days looking for updates and hoping that I was healthy and alive. I am both.)

The UNC vs. Providence game ended last night at midnight. I woke up at 4:45 a.m. today so my memory of what transpired in the last five days is spotty at best. In retrospect, I should have worn this onesie to last night’s game.

Literally a gray cloud was lifted from my head when I landed in North Carolina. Imagine this, 85 degrees, sunshine, and not a gray could in sight. That was the weather for most of my visit.

I would argue that March to May is the worst time to live in the Northwest. It’s during this time period that everyone is posting pictures, on Facebook and Twitter, of happy hours outside, parks without a slide covered in puddles, and short sleeves shorts and shirt without a hoodie in sight. (I showed the NW in me by rocking a hoodie on Thursday afternoon. It was quickly suggested that I didn’t need it.)

My birthday came a couple of weeks early with a kid-free return flight home. So peaceful.

Busted Coverage

When you are a Twitter nerd like myself, a RT from Busted Coverage is almost as rewarding as your child walking for the first time or finding out that Nickelback broke up.

If you had any doubt that Texas loves guns, look at this picture. This is a Texas Tech Red Raider fan who broke out his pretend six-shooter to cheer on the team. He would do this lil’ gun motion anytime a Texas Tech played took a breathe. He showed incredible resolve by continuing to shoot even at the end of the Texas Tech loss.

Sweatin’ to Jos. A. Banks

I am no fan of Jos. A. Banks. I frown upon the buy 3 dress shirts, get one free. After watching Arizona coach Sean Miller, I am convinced that he should become a loyal Jos. A. Banks customer. Coach Miller blew up Twitter on Friday night as he grossly sweated through a suit after five minutes during their NCAA Tournament game. Another alternate for Coach Miller would be wearing an undershirt but who am I to judge.

Netflix and Pill

You might use the World Wide Web to check your fantasy team and post pictures of your kids on Facebook. You are in the minority. The rest of the universe is using the World Wide Web to watch Netflix, buy cat liter from Amazon, and purchase pills from international pharmacies.

“The Internet may still reshape humanity. We haven’t seen the ending yet. But if these data are any indication, we’re just going to watch videos on YouTube and buy stuff on Amazon till the sun goes out.”

 

No Love for Renters

I hope you are reading this in a home that you own and do not plan renting out.

I, for one, was a renter when we first moved to West Linn and I loved every minute. No yard work, no fixing the toilet, no spending weekends picking out paint.

This great country of ours have turned against renters and those renting out room in their homes as highlighted in this article.

Dean, who completed five tours as a U.S. adviser and Army contractor with the Human Terrain System in Afghanistan and Iraq, owned a three-bedroom home near Winona State University. While he was on his fourth mission in Afghanistan between 2011 and 2012, he arranged to rent his home to students of the university.

“I started getting nasty notes from the government while I was in Iraq,” Dean told Fox News. “The notes were from the city treasurer telling me that it was illegal to rent out my home. I had no idea what they were talking about.”

2 Kids and a Plane

I am high above middle America with my two kids and a plane full of others. We are flying into the land of Trump a.k.a North Carolina.

I was listening to mundane political chatter for most of the flight when I was interrupted by John Kasich’s victory speech. Kasich delivered the best political speech of the election cycle. He talked like a human (which stuck out even more with Rubio speaking beforehand), he had bed head (I am debating on whether to send him my special Lush hair product), and he connected with real examples that lacked political rhetoric.

Direct TV and wireless internet makes five hours on a plane with a 6- and 4-year old somewhat enjoyable.

Whether this was such a spell or not, friends thought nothing of Manziel sleeping well into the New Year. Three days later, on the eve of Cleveland’s finale for another lost season, he vanished. Several people, including Cleveland coaches, called him repeatedly, each time reaching his voicemail. Manziel, it turns out, was in Las Vegas, sporting a blonde wig, glued-on mustache and hoodie while telling people his name was “Billy.”

The Internet Wins

Watch out network TV, next time you turn a 30-minute show into a two hour show, keep in mind the disaster that was the 2016 CBS Selection show. CBS executives thought it was a slam dunk. Drag out the selection show since anyone with a cat in the fight has to watch the exclusive release of the NCAA tournament bracket.

The show was a disaster from the beginning. Charles Barkley stumbled around using the touch screen, an endless run of commercials, and very little prepared material to cover the two hours.

Lucky for us (unlucky for CBS) a bomb was dropped after the first quarter of the bracket was released. “Richie” took the bracket into his own hands by tweeting the complete bracket to the American public. Allow me to share a few of my favorite tweets.

We would give Richie props for his good deed but his Twitter account has been deleted. I am guessing CBS will form a number of task forces, subcommittees, and advisory groups to find the identity of Richie. Link: Disaster! NCAA tournament brackets leak during Selection Show

Today America won; greed from CBS lost. Amen. The NCAA tournament bracket was leaked mid-show, and America rejoiced

Where Is Richard Simmons?

Many of you have “Sweated to the Oldies” with Richard Simmons. Some of you have heard Richard during one of his many appearances on the Howard Stern show. Unfortunately, the gleeful Simmons’ life has taken an odd turn which may involve black magic and witch craft.

My first read this morning was this article:

THE HAUNTED TWILIGHT OF RICHARD SIMMONS
Two years ago, the flamboyant fitness guru abruptly disappeared from public life. Now, his closest friends, banished from his inner circle, have grown increasingly concerned. They worry that the pop-culture icon is being held against his will inside his Hollywood Hills mansion — with one suggesting more sinister notions are at play.

Digging for Gold

I am officially a parent of a school age child now that I have survived a field trip with a bus full of kindergartens. Field trips are great – it’s a chance to see who you child hangs out, meet the teacher, and ride on a school bus for the first time in 20 years.

I am puzzled that seat belts haven’t found their way onto school buses. If I have to wear a seat-belt on an airplane (which is virtually useless), why isn’t a bus of 60 kindergartens given the option to wear a seat belt. Do schools think that seat belts are a phase and will eventually go out of style? I can’t leave my driveway without strapping my two kids into a tank-like car seat. So, buses don’t have seat-belts but they must stop at every railroad track and look both ways, basically begging to be hit by a train.

Back to the field trip, the Portland Children’s Theater was our destination. Bad Kitty was the show. I must pat myself on the back because halfway through the show I looked around a number of the other chaperones were sleeping and playing on their phones. Not me, I was focused on Bad Kitty and dying for a strong cup of coffee (anything but Folgers).

Two observations:

  1. Kindergarten’s cannot go anywhere without using the bathroom. The teacher begged them to use the “potty” before we left, and several of them did. However, once the ol’ yellow bus rolled up to the theater and the kids unloaded, it was a race to the bathroom. I have seen shorter bathroom lines at a Seahawks game, but unlike the Seahawks game, the girls bathroom was packed with a line running halfway done the hallway.
  2. Kids love picking their nose. Not just other people’s kids, my kid was also knuckle deep searching for boogers. At the beginning of the field trip when the teacher was introducing the chaperons, I looked at the kids and there were more kids picking their nose than listening to the teachers. The question that I don’t want answered but I can’t help wonder is where do all those boogers go. Safe to say, the boxes of tissues are not a common final destination.

All in all, being able to experience my kid’s field trip is why I love working for a city with a four-day work week.

Leave a review for the GovLove podcast. ELGL members spend a tremendous amount of time interviewing guests, editing the interviews, and spreading the word about the 40 episodes. Special kudos to Ben Kittelson for leading the effort.

GovLove is an outlet that we are using to expand the reach of ELGL and to keep members on top of the most relevant topics in local government.

Parks and Rec

Props to the National Park Service for trying. Although I don’t think this strategy is incredibly unique or will be particularly impactful. As far as I can tell, millennials are not a bunch of aliens. They aren’t much different than a 43-year old or 53-year old. Sure, they raised with technology which makes them better at a number of things (coding, SnapChat, etc.) than older generations.

Stereotyping a whole generation is lazy. The National Parks Service should use the computer game to reach all ages, races, and genders. Most people (under the age of 70) are capable of learning through a computer game without blowing up our devices or downloading random files from Nigeria.

$725M program Army ‘killed’ found alive, growing

The Army misled Congress and taxpayers when it said it had killed in 2014 a program that embedded social scientists with combat units, according to a congressman, a Defense official and Army documents.

Last year, the Army said it had terminated the controversial battlefield anthropology program, known as the Human Terrain System, which had been plagued by documented time sheet fraud, racism and sexual harassment. It is not clear why the Army said the program was dead, according to a Defense Department official who spoke on condition of anonymity because officials were not authorized to speak publicly about the program.

Guiding You Into the Confidential

 

Civics Lesson

The City of Damascus (not THE Damascus) incorporated in 2004 has become a grand, failed civics experiment. The City, located in the Portland metro area, has been on the brink of failure for a number of years.

In 2013, ELGL learned first hand about the dysfunction at a forum with their then-city manager (Knope of the Week: Greg Baker, Damascus City Manager). When Greg resigned as city manager, a city councilor was quoted as calling the city a “hellhole.”

In today’s Oregonian, we catch up with the city and realize it may be entering its final days.

Damascus’ great civic experiment could be nearing an end

Only twice in the past 34 years has a new city been formed in Oregon.

It’s rarer yet for a city to dissolve itself. Disincorporations have occurred a grand total of three times since the state was founded in 1859.

Number four may be just around the corner. Damascus, one of Oregon’s newest cities, is poised to end more than a decade of political and community rancor in May, when its 10,700 residents vote on a measure to disincorporate.

If that happens, Mayor Diana Helm said she won’t be surprised if it passes.

“Most cities provide 16 or 17 different services,” said Helm, who voted in favor of disincorporating the first time the issue was put to voters, in 2013. “We don’t provide any. People will have to decide for themselves if that constitutes enough value to remain a city.”

House of Cards

I am two episodes into Season 4 of House of Cards and I am liking what I see. The critics don’t share my opinion as I’ve read a number of negative reviews about the season. And, in full disclosure, part of my enjoyment may stem from the addition of Neve Campbell. Teenager Kent had a bit of a crush on Neve Campbell and her role in Party of Five. Fun Fact: Neve Campbell is a Canadian.

Despite my former love of Neve, I give a slight edge to Kate Mora (Zoe Barnes) who appeared in season 1 and season 2 (for about 45 seconds).
