WITH INFANTILE “DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND ANTI-RACISM” VIRTUE-SIGNALING FETISHIST BUFFOONS ABOUNDING ON THE WACHUSETT REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE, HAVE YOU CONSIDERED HOMESCHOOLING?

The ‘Woke’ Marxist Campaign using public schools to brainwash your kids has been underway for quite some time and has reached epidemic proportions.

Here is a good The American Spectator article about it:
https://spectator.org/public-school-education-critical-race-theory/

As an alternative, those able to do so should consider homeschooling. For those seeking information about homeschooling, see the following submitted by a loyal follower of this Blog who homeschooled her kids. Many thanks to her!

Why Homeschool?

“The secret of American schooling is that it doesn’t teach the way children learn, and it isn’t supposed to; school was engineered to serve a concealed command economy and a deliberately stratified social order. It wasn’t made for the benefit of kids and families as those individuals and institutions would define their own needs. School is the first impression children get of organized society; like most first impressions, it is the lasting one. Life according to school is dumb and stupid, only consumption promises relief: Coke, Big Macs, fashion jeans, that’s where real meaning is found, that is the classroom’s lesson, however indirectly delivered. The decisive dynamics which make forced schooling poisonous to healthy human development aren’t hard to spot. Work in classrooms isn’t significant work; it fails to satisfy real needs pressing on the individual; it doesn’t answer real questions experiences raises in the young mind; it doesn’t contribute to solving any problem encountered in real life. The net effect of making all schoolwork external to individual longings, experiences, questions, and problems is to render the victim listless. This phenomenon has been well-understood at least since the time of the British enclosure movement which forced small farmers off their land into factory work. Growth and mastery come only to those who vigorously self-direct. Initiating, creating, doing, reflecting, freely associating, enjoying privacy–these are precisely what the structures of schooling are setup to prevent, on one pretext or another.”

STERLING ANIMAL CONTROL ADVISORY BOARD PLANS NEW KENNEL LICENSING BY-LAWS, HASN’T POSTED ITS MEETING MINUTES ON THE TOWN WEBSITE SINCE 7 JUNE 2021

That paragon of transparency, that acme of openness, the Sterling Animal Control Advisory Board (ACAB), has not posted any of its Meeting Minutes on the Town Website since 7 June 2021– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/node/2206/minutes-agendas I’m sure that that is a mere oversight–wink, wink– especially since the ‘Bent Buffoon,’ Sterling Select Board member John Kilcoyne, is the ACAB “Sub-Committee Member for Kennel Bylaw proposal”– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/animal-control-advisory-board

Under the Massachusetts “Open Meeting Law” the ACAB is required to produce for inspection, upon demand, ALL of its Meeting Minutes. So just travel down to the Municipal Building and demand to see them.

It should come as no surprise that ACAB and the ‘Bent Buffoon’ have proposed, stealthily, 2022 Annual Town Meeting “Warrant Articles regarding Kennel licensing”– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/animal-control-advisory-board/agenda/agenda-89 This new effort follows the shoot-down of 2021 Annual Town Meeting Warrant Article 42, “Use Regulations-Commercial Kennels,” proposed by the Select Board’s appointed pawns on Zoning Board of Appeals. THAT was the ZBA’s FIRST ATTEMPT TO SCREW DOG OWNERS. USUALLY THE STERLING ZBA SCREWS ABUTTERS/NEIGHBORS BY GRANTING DEVELOPERS UNJUSTIFIED “SPECIAL PERMITS” AND “VARIANCES.”

Stay Vigilant!

ATTENTION STERLING TAXPAYERS! ASSUME THE POSITION– EVERETT HELLER AND THE FINANCE COMMITTEE WANT TO RAM YOU WITH A 2023 FISCAL YEAR 3% COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR ALL TOWN EMPLOYEES

It’s official, folks, so BEND OVER AND ASSUME THE POSITION! Everett Heller, the whining Finance Committee Chair protected by Select Board members ‘Our Lady of Perpetual Bullsh*t’ Maureen Cranson and ‘Bent Buffoon’ John Kilcoyne from having Finance Committee and Capital Budget Committee meetings broadcast to the public, intends to ram all Sterling taxpayers with a 3% Fiscal Year 2023 cost of living increase (COLA) for all Town of Sterling employees. THAT WOULD BE THE BIGGEST COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR TOWN EMPLOYEES EVER. The legions of Sterling taxpayers employed in ‘THE DREADED PRIVATE SECTOR’ will be lucky to get ANY cost of living increase after being crushed by two years of asinine and deliberately deceptive COVID MANIA and its consequent economic disruptions/jobs destruction, and one full year of ongoing, rampaging DEMENTIA JOE BIDENFLATION. Oh Yeah, please remind me again about all the Town of Sterling employees who were paid to shelter-in-place/sit on their thumbs, at our expense, for the entire first year of COVID MANIA…

You just know that ‘Our Lady of Perpetual Bullshit’ and the ‘Bent Buffoon’ are behind this planned fleecing of Sterling taxpayers. The Select Board, Finance Committee, and Capital Budget Committee are conducting a joint meeting at 8 a.m., Saturday, 5 March 2022. Here is the line-up of those chowing down at the Sterling taxpayer-funded public trough– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif1266/f/agendas/2022_03_05_fincom_agenda.pdf

Let Cranson, Kilcoyne and Heller know that you are done being rammed by them, quarterly, via your property tax bills and that election cycles to come will have consequences.

NOTE: As for COVID MANIA, have you noticed that Fauci-The-Lying-Gnome disappeared??? It is reported that he is inside a hollow tree making Keebler Cookies– https://www.food.com/article/keebler-s-fudge-day-pop-up-brings-you-inside-the-elves-tree-908

CRANSON AND KILCOYNE VOTE TO SHIELD THEIR APPOINTED FINANCE COMMITTEE TOOLS FROM MANDATORY TV BROADCASTS OF FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

The Sterling Finance Committee, appointed by the Select Board, has not stood up for Sterling’s taxpayers since Larry Pape was its Chair ten (10) and more years ago. He made sure that Town Budgets remained stable, with minimal increases from year to year. When economic times were tough, as they were after the 2008 financial markets collapse, he protected Sterling taxpayers by keeping Town Budgets flat. In 2012 the then-Select Board members refused to re-appoint Larry Pape to the Finance Committee. Sterling taxpayers have been hosed, year in and year out, ever since.

Credit, therefore, is due Select Board member Arden Sonnenberg for voting to require the Finance Committee and Capital Budget Committee to televise their respective meetings. She was outvoted by ‘Our Lady of Perpetual Bullsh*t,’ Maureen Cranson, and the ‘Bent Buffoon,’ John Kilcoyne, the dynamic duo Select Board tax-and-spend paragons of opacity and duplicity. For Cranson and Kilcoyne, the Finance Committee and Capital Budget Committee are useful tools/foils for caving to the various Town departmental spending requests and thus hosing, as a consequence of their cowardice, all Sterling taxpayers. They orchestrate the Annual Town Meeting Warrant Spending Articles and then point to the lines that say “Finance Committee recommends approval.” OF COURSE THEY DO. See how that incestuous scam works, folks?

Everett Heller, Finance Committee Chair/Chief Cranson-Kilcoyne Taxing and Spending Tool, was all in a huff when Ms. Sonnenberg stated, accurately, that failing to broadcast Finance Committee meetings demonstrated a lack of transparency. He threatened to resign if required to televise every Finance Committee meeting–
https://www.telegram.com/story/news/local/the-item/2022/02/25/finance-committee-wont-have-broadcast-meetings-sterling/6833317001/

MEMO TO EVERETT HELLER– Do all Sterling taxpayers a favor–resign/take your ball and go home, anyway.

WATCH THE STERLING ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS A/K/A THE DEVELOPERS’ DOORMAT RESCIND THE “NO-TOUCH” BUFFER ZONE IT IMPOSED ON SIMPSON IN 2016 AS A CONDITION FOR BUILDING ‘CIDER HILL ESTATES’

In 2016 SIMPSON, STERLING’S BIGGEST SNAKE, got a ‘Special Permit,’ issued by the Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a The Developers’ Doormat, to build ‘Cider Hill Estates’ off Redstone Hill Road. That ‘Special Permit’ never should have been granted, of course, there being three (3) abutters’ driveways–not just one–within 150 feet of the ‘Cider Hill Estates’ access road. SEE Sterling Protective (Zoning) By-Law Sec. 301-4.2.3.c. — https://ecode360.com/37344979

Having failed in its duty to uphold the clear provisions of Sterling’s Protective (Zoning) By-Laws, thereby screwing abutters and neighbors, the Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a The Developers’ Doormat imposed various ‘Special Permit’ conditions on Simpson instead, one of them being a delineated “No-Touch” Buffer Zone protecting abutters. Those conditions were recorded at the Worcester District Registry of Deeds. They are a matter of public record.

Sterling’s Biggest Snake being followed by weasels, the Cider Hill Condominium Trust has now petitioned the Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a The Developers’ Doormat to rescind in whole or part that “No-Touch” Buffer Zone in order to cut trees on that land– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif1266/f/events/shamrock_way_-_legal_advertisement.pdf

Get out your popcorn on 8 March 2022 and watch the craven Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a The Developers’ Doormat lie down and roll over yet again. They can and will rationalize anything.

PROTECT THE WEKEPEKE BROOK HEADWATERS AND ITS NATIVE BROOK TROUT POPULATION–OPPOSE THE STERLING D.P.W.’S INCIPIENT PLAN TO LOCATE A TOWN WELL IN THE WEKEPEKE RESERVATION OWNED BY THE TOWN OF CLINTON

According to the latest Sterling D.P.W. Board Agenda– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif1266/f/agendas/agenda_dpw_2-22-2022.docx –it is now planning to put a Town Well in the Wekepeke Brook headwaters area, known as the ‘Wekepeke Reservation,’ owned by the Town of Clinton as water resource. This would endanger the Wekepeke Brook’s native brook trout population. The 2002 Town of Sterling Open Space and Recreation Plan, that I can no longer locate on-line, had a section on the Wekepeke Brook’s sensitivity to drought and said that in times of drought groundwater seeping and feeding into Wekepeke Brook helps to keep its waters cold enough to sustain its native brook trout population. Pumping down the groundwater level in the Wekepeke Brook’s headwaters area would constitute a grave threat to those brook trout. Wekepeke Brook is a Commonwealth of Massachusetts-protected ‘Coldwater Fishery.’ SEE https://www.mass.gov/regulations/321-CMR-500-coldwater-fish-resources

Back in 2007-2008 the Sterling Select Board was caught red-faced at having negotiated secretly with Nestle Waters North America and the Town of Clinton Select Board about permitting Nestle Waters to pump down the Wekepeke Brook headwaters-area groundwater for profit. The plan was illegal. The applicable late-1800s state legislation only allowed the Town of Clinton to take by eminent domain and/or by purchase Wekepeke headwaters watershed land to impound and use its surface water only, not groundwater, for ITS MUNICIPAL PURPOSES. Moreover, Nestle’s proposal violated Sterling’s Zoning By-Laws. The Sterling Select Board was forced to back down– https://www.telegram.com/story/news/local/north/2008/04/04/sterling-officials-oppose-nestl-pumping/52460116007/

A local group is intent upon protecting the Wekepeke– https://wekepeke.org/

Apparently the Sterling D.P.W. Board forgot about the 2007-2008 Wekepeke Fight. If wants another one now it will get more than it bargained for.

A Sterling Town Well further downstream in the Wekepeke Aquifer area–fed by additional tributary streams–would be much less environmentally sensitive than a Town Well in this headwaters area, but of course the Sterling Zoning Board of Appeals a/k/a The Developers’ Doormat Vice-Chair, Joseph Curtin, spearheaded 2021 Annual Town Meeting Warrant Article 46– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif1266/f/uploads/2021_atm_final_warrant_june_7_2021_003_0.pdf — to reduce in size the North Sterling Wekepeke Aquifer Wellhead Protection Zone II in order to bring in more Light Industrial development, thereby rolling back the protected zone that intelligent and forward-looking Sterling voters had approved at a previous Sterling Annual Town Meeting many years before. If you have a chance thank Joe for his brilliance and foresight.

THE STERLING SELECT BOARD, BUILDING UPON ITS SUCCESS IN PAINTING THE WORLD’S SHORTEST, MOST POINTLESS, AND MOST IDIOTIC ‘BIKE LANE’–THE ONE ON WAUSHACUM AVENUE–MOVES TO APPROVE WESTON & SAMPSON’S TRULY INSPIRED MAIN STREET PLANNING PROPOSAL

Waushacum Avenue in downtown Sterling isn’t much of an ‘avenue.’ It runs a few hundred yards from Main Street to its intersection with Bird Street. From there Newell Hill Road–really the Waushacum Avenue extension–goes up Newell Hill.

YET Waushacum Avenue, for those of you who never noticed it, has a relatively new, very impressive yellow-painted ‘bike lane’ that runs 150 yards or so to…nowhere. That’s right, that ‘bike lane’ doesn’t even extend to Bird Street. It ends at the School Street intersection! It’s the ONLY designated ‘bike lane’ on any street in downtown Sterling. It’s truly AWESOME! If you bike back and forth on that ‘bike lane’ once you get about 300 yards of pedaling. If you do it six (6) times you get about one mile of pedaling. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m seriously considering buying a bicycle so I can get in some truly ‘safe’ exercise within the yellow-painted confines of that ‘bike lane.’ No more trail running or Ju Jitsu training or stuff like that for me, NO SIRREE! I want to be just as safe as the mindless Branch Covidian morons who drive around alone in their cars all masked-up. Hey, they don’t call this Commie Commonwealth ‘Maskachusetts’ for nothing, after all.

Building upon its overwhelming Waushacum Avenue ‘bike lane’ success, the Select Board is now up for some truly inspired ‘Main Street Planning.’ They will be spending YOUR tax dollars to approve the Weston & Sampson ‘Main Street Planning’ ‘proposal’– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif1266/f/agendas/2022_2_16_agenda.pdf

Here is Weston & Sampson’s website– https://www.westonandsampson.com/
If you’re at all like me, I bet you can’t wait to see the ‘proposal’ YOU paid for. Maybe there’s another ‘bike lane’ in store for us, or a new sandbox on the Sterling Green in which walked dogs may take a dump without feeling guilty about killing the grass. You know how dogs get that guilty look? Who knows, but you can count on it being really AWESOME!

AS FACTS AND TRUTH PREVAIL AND THE BRANCH COVIDIANS’ HYSTERIA/POPULATION CONTROL CAMPAIGN UNRAVELS, IT IS WELL TO REMEMBER THAT “KILLING FREEDOM ONLY TOOK ONE LITTLE PR*CK”

As people around the globe come to understand that masking, ‘social distancing,’ business closures, lockdowns, and the fake mRNA ‘vaccines’ were all useless in halting spread of the Wuhan Flu, the so-called ‘Omicron Variant’ having made it endemic like seasonal flu, and that off-patent medicines that were truly effective in treating Wuhan Flu infections were subverted for taxpayer-funded profits by Big Pharma and their corrupt regulatory agency allies such as HHS/FDA, NIH, and CDC, it is well to remember that here in the United States, supposedly ‘land of the free and home of the brave,’ killing freedom effectively only took one little pr*ck–

Of course, THAT little pr*ck, Fauci-The-Lying-Gnome, was replicated by town, city, county, state, and federal officials all around, and by their counterparts overseas.

Here in Sterling notable examples include the Board of Health agent, the Board of Health, and the Select Board.

Now, in the fight for freedom, we are all being shown up by polite and usually-compliant Canadians–

This is both embarrassing and humbling, but it is fun to see boy Canadian Prime Minister Justin Castreau emasculated by ordinary, hard-working, Canadian taxpayers.

LIARS WASTING MORE OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS. CRANSON AND KILCOYNE GO BACK ON THEIR 2018 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING PLEDGE

During the 2018 Sterling Annual Town Meeting, in order to sell Article 27–

https://www.sterling-ma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif1266/f/uploads/atm_warrant_with_budget_4-11-18a.pdf —

to the voters present, Select Board members Cranson and Kilcoyne promised that the new ‘Town Planner’ position would terminate once the new Town of Sterling Master Plan was completed. Article 27 then passed. A few months later they hired Domenica Tatasciore to fill that spot and used her as their all-purpose ‘Gofer.’ By the time she bailed out in autumn 2021–a blessed relief to Sterling taxpayers– she had been paid approximately $225,000 over three years, not counting benefits, and the new Master Plan was not yet complete. Here in Massachusetts Town Master Plans are completed by other towns in nine (9) to twenty-four (24) months. Domenica Tatasciore was, therefore, a Cranson and Kilcoyne-approved grifter at Sterling taxpayer expense.

For all practical purposes the new Sterling Master Plan is now complete, yet Cranson and Kilcoyne want to hire yet ANOTHER ‘Gofer’/Fake ‘Town Planner’– https://www.sterling-ma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif1266/f/agendas/2022_2_2_agenda.pdf

They enjoy wasting your tax dollars in order to expand their Municipal Building fiefdom of rump swabs.

Cranson and Kilcoyne head up a bent cabal of local-real estate-developer-A$$-Kissing-Town board members/officials. Local developers are doing the ‘Town Planning’ now. Developer-promoted and crony-crafted 2021 Sterling Annual Town Meeting Warrant Articles 46, 47, and 48 are proof of that.

The only thing a new Sterling ‘Town Planner’ will have to do is figure out novel ways to stick his/her thumbs up his/her A$$ inside the Municipal Building each morning.

THE ANTI-WHITE RACISTS–“DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND ANTI-RACISM” VIRTUE-SIGNALING FETISHIST BUFFOONS ABOUND ON THE WACHUSETT REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE

THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF TAXPAYERS FUNDING THE OBSCENE, DISHONEST, WASTEFUL, UNIONIZED-EMPLOYEE-PROTECTION RACKET KNOWN AS THE WACHUSETT REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THEIR OFFSPRING STUDENTS, ARE WHITE. SO, ALL OF YOU WHITE WRSD TAXPAYERS–DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE RACISTS, INEQUITABLE, AND ANTI-INCLUSIVE??? WELL, YOU MUST BE BECAUSE A WRSD VIRTUE-SIGNALING COTTAGE INDUSTRY FRONTED BY THE WRSD “DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND ANTI-RACISM SUB-COMMITTEE” IS NOW IN PLACE AND OCCUPIED BY DISTRICT FETISHIST BUFFOONS. THESE JACKASSES ARE PARODIES OF THEMSELVES.

CHECK THIS OUT!— https://www.wrsd.net/school_committee/school_committee_members

While White WRSD taxpayers have been hosed by WRSD budget increases totaling 25% just since FY 2016, WRSD student enrollment has plummeted from 2012 to present. Yeah, so how do you like THAT return on your hard-earned ‘investments’? SEE—

YEARS OF FALLING STUDENT ENROLLMENT NUMBERS BUT SHARPLY RISING ANNUAL BUDGETS–THE WACHUSETT REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT RACKET

This anti-White WRSD Committee racism should, it is to be hoped, result in further, precipitous student enrollment drops.

You’ve all been suckered by the WRSD for years. THIS YEAR, across the Wachusett Regional School District, Town Meeting voters/taxpayers should send the WRSD Committee a BIG “Foxtrot Yankee” message and vote down the entire FY 2023 WRSD budget request.
