Lame-duck superintendent begging board to buy land from Barber?

Please click on image to Enlarge photos of Bobby New, Fayetteville superintendent of schools.


Between spending more than an hour interviewing people to "search" for candidates to become superintendent and spending more than an hour discussing buying two different wetland prairie tracts for a potential school site, the school board had to listen to the outgoing superintendent beg them to buy more wetland.
Audubon's future nature site was used to make the sale sound good, even though Audubon's presence actually should be convincing them that the land should not be built on and, if bought, should mostly be a nature site itself.

You have to love theatre of the absurd to watch this kind of thing.

The chairman of the board of education and the superintendent agree.

Tim Kring moves that some land be sold from the former Hoskins property to offset any new purchase in the Deane Solomon area. It isn't over. Check channel 14.

You just cruise along, posting pretty pictures and nature lore and then suddenly you kick ass. This was a kick-ass night! Thanks!

If you really want to kick ass, get behind that guy and photograph the 666 tat\oed behind his ear!

On the Iconoclast, you say that Bobby New smiles. I come over here to see your original post and wonder whether you didn't mean to say that Bobbynu drools.
If you really worked at the Conway newspaper, you KNOW that he isn't the brightest light on the block. Did you really expect to get a smiling photo from a clone of a Stepford superintendent?

He is a real person. If they made a clone, they'd engineer its genes to make it more believably human.

You have captured the very essence of "Naybobby". That is his "who the hell is this, daring to invade my personal playpen and photograph me in an unflattering, unposed and, worst, in an un-vasoline-lensed fashion? Somebody call the gendarmes. What if he wants to say something?"
