Phyllis Kahn or DREAM KILLER

This lady phyllis kahn is trying to do a backdoor attempt to deny the private parachioal High School DeLasalle that has been on Nicollet Island For over a hundred years educating the students that went to the school.

The 1983 Nicollet Island Agreement set aside 1.7 acres of land so that DeLasalle that was adjacent to school covering a non historic street called oak grove. At that time School didn’t have the money to build the football field, rather they focused on the schools primary goal of educating kids. During that time the school almost closed but a plan was devised and it saved the school to the point where it now receives over 300 application for the 9th grade class every year with only 200 applicants are accepted both paying and tuition assisted students.

Now that the high school can focus on building a field that will be shared with the minneapolis park board, with the high school taking care of the maintence and upkeep of the field.

Phyllis Kahn has come to see that the lease that she has with the park board as her house and land as hers. She has lied and connived to make sure that the school doesn’t get the field. Why is it that only a small cadre were the only ones to know about the lottery to buy the houses for a dollar. Was the lottery publicized for everyone in the twin cities to buy a chance.

The following are 99 year lease holders of houses on the island for 23 years or less, where as the School has been there for over 100 years. They view the island as their private retreat and want DeLasalle to move so that their idyl life wont be interupted by children

• Janet Demming
• John Chaffee
• Victor Grambsch
• Patrick Scully
• Christine Viken

ms kahn says she is for the children unless it intrudes on her own island, I would call that two faced and to have her be removed from office.

The lease holders should have no say until they have been on the island as long as DeLasalle High School has been.

Al Gore’s Misrepresentation

Al Gore, left out convenient truths about the earths climate in his so called movie. Al Gore is acting more like a wayward angry child who is throwing a temper tantrum, not getting his way.

In the 1930s and 1950s, the central United States experience two periods of extreme drought. The 1980s and 1990s had ten of the warmest years this century and possibly since the Little Climatic Optimum. Proxy and instrumental data indicate that 1998 was the warmest year globally in 1200 years of Earth history. In the following year, a La Nina developed and global temperatures dropped slightly.

In the 1974 time magazine, printed on their cover that the earth was starting the begining of global cooling era, newsweek did the same in 1975 the following year.

This link is part of the argument

In the 1980s, we were surprised by the first long ice cores from both Greenland and the Antarctic, which gave us 400,000 years of the Earth’s detailed temperature history in their ice layers. We had expected to find the big Ice Ages and the warm interglacial periods like our own. We had not expected to find a moderate, natural 1500-year cycle running through it all, even through the big Ice Ages.

The natural warmings raise Earth’s temperatures 1 to 2 degrees C at the latitude of New York for 400-800 years. The coolings that follow drop our temperatures 1-2 degrees below the mean for a similar length of time.

Since then, scientists have found the 1500-year cycle in tree rings, cave stalagmites and the microfossils of seabed sediments. Prehistoric villages moved up and down the Alps and Andes mountainsides while glaciers worldwide advanced and retreated, all in time with the cycle.

Here is the question will people like Al Gore walk the talk or will he speak out both sides of his mouth?

Will Al Gore give up his vehicles, and his many houses, will set the example for others to follow or is he another two faced environmentalist.

I challenge Mr. Gore to walk the talk !!
