Ellen,<br> <br> Most the grown ups I know have not let a roof fall on their head, so I don't think that is a requirement for adulthood. I did not use the words "new construction". I believe a new roof is a major structural repair. I think of a roof as part of a structure. I don't think people casually change roofs like they mow the lawn, as used in your analogy. If it was a casual routine M&O, like mowing the lawn, would it have been in the newspaper? I am not an expert on what is considered newsworthy, but the headline, "Moscow High School to Mow Lawn", doesn't sound like something that would role off the Daily News press.<br> <br>Best Regards,<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>Ellen Roskovich <gussie443@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div style=""><div class="RTE"> <div><strong>I think Keely made it very clear. . . . a new roof on an

Replacing a roof on </font><div></div><font style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">part of an existing building is<br>MAINTENANCE. It maintains the integrity of the building; it is not a<br>remodel, and it certainly isn't new construction. It is exactly the use<br>intended by our maintenance budget, which, while tight, is
being used<br>correctly in this example and throughout the district. No matter what kind<br>of budget trimming Wenders would like to see, the District can't use M & O<br>monies to build new buildings or significantly remodel existing ones.

in the future, although he's evidently not brave enough<br>to challenge me directly, evincing a cowardice that even my perennial critic<br>Donovan Arnold won't stoop to. Donovan may think I'm scum, but he says it<br>to me via Vision, and for that he gets a point in my book. But however Dale<br>gets his jollies blogging hours a day about all manner of things, usually<br>cribbed from other sources, he won't find that it goes unchallenged when he<br>lies about me or the District. That goes beyond covenant lying, Dale, and<br>isn't remotely clever enough to qualify as "Trinitarian skylarking."<br><br>When all is said and done, it's just plain ol' lying, and its "neener,<br>neener, neener" quality will receive a much more adult response than I<br>suspect he and the boys want to handle.<br><br>Go play now, Dale -- but try to repent before your 10 a.m. worship </font><div></div><font style="font-size: 11px; font-family:
