The state Board of Education voted to remove Riverviews accreditation for the second time in three months. The Board has finally decided to knock the Riverview Gardens district from provisional to unaccredited status. Now, this comes after the Board of Education has taken over the City schools, and an appointed board began running those schools last week. in Riverviews' case it's more likely that the board would create new options for where students attend school rather than appoint a board of their own. This may be a good thing if the board decides to bus the children to different, and better school districts.

A DRUNK AIN'T SH*T
Since June 14Th there has been four deaths at Lake of the Ozarks. This makes a total of seven this year. And all have been reported as involving alcohol. Six of this year's victims drowned and the seventh was killed in a boating accident. It was said by water patrol,Rad Talburt, that most if not all seven deaths could have been prevented if those involved worn life jackets and abstained from drinking alcohol.
The four victims from the Ozarks:
-- Divers pulled the body of Mary Rembold from the lake around 8 p-m Thursday. The patrol says the 43-year-old Roach woman had jumped off the back of a boat without a life jacket about six hours earlier.
-- At 10:40 p.m. Thursday, Rodger Spooner was attempting to put a life jacket on when he fell into the water. The body of the 45-year-old Stover man was recovered Saturday afternoon.
-- At 6 p-m Saturday, Jonathan Snyder was reported missing in an area known as "Party Cove." The body of the 25-year-old Pennsylvania man was found Sunday afternoon.
-- The body of 21-year-old Juan Howell of Richland was found yesterday near a dock where he was last seen.

HUEY'S NEW CD IN STORES NOW
Huey's new CD Notebook Paper was released yesterday. I haven't listen to it yet but I am really feeling his first single "When I Hustle" featuring Lloyd. Huey did an article in SOHH. In the article he was explaining how Nelly ain't shit and how arrogant he is. He discuss how he could get support from artist in other cities and none from a leading artist in his own hometown. This is not the first we've heard of Nelly acting this way. I've ran into Nelly on several different occasions and he always acts like a stuck up b*tch. In Vegas he acted so stank with people. He showed up late and refused to take pictures with people that came to support him. That's why Chingy had problems with him.

UPDATE ON STYLES
Okay, I found out that Styles was locked up and release on bond for a dope indictment. Not because he's been charged with giving out the package. I don't know for sure if he has AIDS or not but what I do have to say is be careful. St. Louis is way to small,we've all ran threw a couple of the same people already and when this news broke too many people was concerned just for the hell of it(I don't think so). Condoms are to cheap not to buy and if you don't like to us them settle down then! I'm done preaching for now.

OH MY GOD, IS STYLES REALLY INFECTED?
Last night I started to get wind of a rumor that Styles(the guy in the club with the turbine and sandals) was infecting numerous people(both men and women) with HIV. Is this true? I've been checking around for factual stories, but all I can get is facts from the streets. Anyway, once I know you'll know.
HAVE A GOOD FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AKON'S WACK ASS SONG
Of course, you'll know Akon was born in St. Louis and lived here for his early years. Well, he has been getting a lot of attention lately. He was recorded at a Trinidad club humping the hell out of this fourteen year old girl. Since then Verizon Wireless pulled ringtones featuring Akon and cancelled sponsorship on the tour he was the opening act for Gwen Stefani. Now, his ass made a song saying his so sorry to everyone. I personally believe he doesn't owe anyone an apology accept his wife(wives). Her parents are responsible for her being in a club underage, as well as the club staff. I think the song is trash. But, you take a listen.

RIVERVIEW SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE IDIOTS
I'm so pissed at Riverview Gardens School Dist! They are complete idiots. You may ask why am I concerned. My answer is because this damn school district is causing me to pay for private school next school year, because they have the worst resources and teaching abilities. And, I know there are lots of other parents in St. Louis County that feel the same way. So, your really going to be pissed when you here this...
I found out that Riverview is still paying Superintendent Henry Williams $13,300 a month in salary and $700 a month in car allowances. And, if you remember correctly, he was removed three months ago for misusing school funds.(that was being to nice) He was using school money to give to his daughter and trick on his girlfriend as well as roughly $150,000 to his own savings plans. He spent thousands of district dollars on trips, office art, cash advances and theater tickets. Theater tickets?
The school district sent me a letter this year saying how they couldn't afford summer school for the elementary schools, but they're still paying a crook. The school district said Williams contract states he has to have a hearing first, until then he still gets $$$. How did he get into this position anyway. Considering he already had professional problems elsewhere. In the early 1990s, Williams had to gather community support in Syracuse, N.Y., to stop board members from removing him, said former district officials there. In 1995, the Little Rock, Ark., board voted not to extend Williams' contract. Williams requested more than $160,000 in bonus and trust fund payments and threatened to sue when the district wouldn't pay. In 1998, the Kansas City School Board wanted to remove Williams but had to buy out his contract, paying Williams $15,000 in severance, plus the remainder of his $164,500 salary. Now, they can't even find any documents of such misuse of funds to take Williams to court. So will continue to pay til his contract ends on June 30,2009.
