Triton Upgraded Theater

Tonight at 7 Triton High School debuts their fall play, Harvey. It's a lighthearted story about a man (played by Jimmy Stewart in the 1950 movie) and an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit.

Imagine if Triton plays were held in an upgraded theater. Grandparents with mobility issues wouldn't have to navigate the concrete stadium steps. Everyone would enjoy more comfortable seating. Local restaurants and stores would enjoy a larger after-theater crush of customers. And the students would be performing in a venue that reflects their talents -- talents they'll draw upon in life again and again. Job interviews. Making business presentations. Even running for public office.

An upgraded theater is one component of Triton's Facilities Referendum. Supporters can't be invisible like Harvey. If you're going to the play tonight, wear your Vote YES! badge and make your presence known!

Letter to the editor: school referendum

Letter To the Editor:

It’s been called a BOND issue, school improvement, redesign project and an upgrade project.  What it REALLY is... It is a 21 year mortgage (debt) on every parcel of real estate in the K-M School District.  This debt, IF PASSED, would just be added to other levies, debts and mortgages already in place for the school district, the county and the state. We in the private sector have already lost most of our retirement and the children’s inheritance.

A NEW ENTRANCE, another GYM that seats 1600 and a NEW FITNESS CENTER. Oh yes, ARTIFICIAL TURF too.  How can these highly educated, captains of finance even think of proposing such crap to the public in the name of EDUCATION.

VOTE NO!
