Wondering how this school district became such a mess so fast. How many more negative headlines and news stories are we going to see in the coming weeks. This all comes on the one year anniversary of this terrible board taking office. Now maybe the most serious allegations of all, how many BOARD Members knew about the arrest and did nothing hoping it would not come to light! Our sources, say multiple BOARD Members allegedly were told before the BOARD as a group was informed of the crime? That is like Watergate as the cover up will now become part of the story. Our group has asked WPXI to ask this question at the next BOARD Meeting. This should be another embarassing week on the news and in the papers with our school district.
On a side note but more negative attention, it appears that a National Magazine has interviewed Coach Dalton and is doing a story on the entire situation. It will be interesting to see the National Magazines take of the entire situation.
In case you were wondering we are now getting 3000 hits on average per story that we write, good enough to get a sponsor, now thats funny!

GIBSONIA, Pa. -- The Trinity School District superintendent is facing simple assault charges after police said he got into a physical fight with his girlfriend.
Northern Regional police were called to Dr. Paul Kasunich's home in Gibsonia around 9 p.m. on Monday.
According to investigators, Kasunich threw his girlfriend into a wall after she accused him of cheating. Kasunich told police that the woman tried to attack him with a vase first.
Police said when they arrived, the woman's shirt was nearly torn off her body and she had marks on her back and bruises on her neck.
According to the criminal complaint, "the female started to hit, kick and punch him. She then grabbed a vase and tried to hit him with it. That's when he grabbed her by the throat and pushed her into a wall."
I wonder who the other women is stay tuned?
Remember Jack Keisling hand picked Kasunich, he told us so, nice job Jack!

BOBBY JONES ARTICLE EMAILED TO ME TODAY
Nine is enough
Jones ‘at peace’ with his resignation
April 22, 2008 - By Cory Giger,cgiger@altoonamirror.com
LORETTO — Bobby Jones always believed he was on the cusp of turning things around at St. Francis.
For years he has said things like, ‘‘We’re there, we’re right there’’ when asked how close the program was to winning.
Actually, the Red Flash were never close to being ‘‘there.’’ With an 18-68 record over the past three seasons, they essentially were nowhere.
Jones never figured out how to fix things, and now that burden will fall to someone else.
Jones resigned Monday, ending his nine-year tenure at St. Francis. He compiled an 85-167 record, including this past season’s 6-23 mark.
‘‘I’m very much at peace with this decision,’’ Jones said.
It was, both he and university officials said, a mutual decision. Jones was still under contract to the university, but he wouldn’t disclose if that contract was good through next season or beyond.
‘‘I can’t get into contract details,’’ SFU president Father Gabriel Zeis, citing university policy, said, ‘‘but he did have some time left.’’
Jones had been involved in ongoing discussions with athletic director Bob Krimmel since the Red Flash season ended March 1. The university conducted an evaluation process of the coach and took its time with the decision before announcing it late Monday evening.
‘‘It became a decision that was best for both sides,’’ Krimmel said. ‘‘I’m excited to go on now, and I think [Jones is] excited to go on.’’
St. Francis plans to conduct a nationwide search for Jones’ replacement, but there’s no timetable to fill the vacancy. Krimmel called the next several weeks ‘‘critical.’’
‘‘We want it to move quickly, but we also want to find the right coach,’’ the AD said.
The men’s basketball program is the school’s most marketable asset, and Krimmel said he knows ‘‘this is a very important hire for the university.’’
Jones’ assistant coaches — Rob Krimmel, Joey Goodson and Winston Smith — will remain in place for the time being. Their fate will be determined by the next head coach.
The decision to part ways with Jones has a major impact on the Krimmel family. The dad is the AD, and he had to make a ruling that could directly affect his son’s job.
‘‘I have to go home to his mom at night,’’ Bob Krimmel joked.
‘‘When I took the job,’’ he added, ‘‘we talked about this could happen.’’
St. Francis will form a search committee that will make a recommendation to Zeis, who has a clear idea of what he’s looking for in a head coach.
First, he said the individual must meet the Franciscan values and mission of the university and must be a good representative of the school.
The coach also must be able to instill confidence in the players and engage them to believe they can win.
An ability to market the basketball program successfully will be key. Zeis wants the new coach to be able to excite fans and get them to believe the Flash can win.
The university’s commitment to winning has been questioned because Jones kept his job so long. Zeis assured winning is a priority at SFU.
‘‘I don’t say that we’re going to have a winning season every year,’’ Zeis said, ‘‘but I want to have a majority of the seasons that this coach comes in to be winning seasons.’’
Lastly, the university president expects the new coach to have a universal vision and understand where basketball fits into the grand scheme of things at St. Francis.
‘‘It is a quality job,’’ Zeis said.
It’s also a tough job that comes with unmistakable constraints, and Zeis acknowledged that when saying the school has to be realistic in its search. St. Francis, with an enrollment of 2,000, is a tiny Division I university in a secluded area, making it a tough sell to recruits.
The school also can’t afford to pay a coach big bucks.
‘‘Certain people may want to come and coach here, but they may not be able to because financially it just wouldn’t be in their best interests,’’ Zeis said.
‘‘I take full responsibility for not being able to produce the number of wins that our fans deserve,’’ Jones said.
Jones, who lives in Hollidaysburg, has always been a loyal supporter of St. Francis. He endeared himself to many with his outgoing personality and represented the school well, big reasons why he was able to coach so long despite the poor record.
The Flash reached the Northeast Conference Tournament just four times in Jones’ nine seasons and never won a playoff game. His best chance for success came during the 2004-05 campaign, when a squad led by scoring sensation Darshan Luckey went 15-12 in the regular season. That team had a lot of pieces in place, but it lost in the opening round of the NEC Tournament at Long Island.
‘‘Of my nine years,’’ Jones said, ‘‘that year really bothers me the most. ... That team, I thought we underachieved. That was the year I thought all the hard work, all the recruiting efforts’’ would help the program compete for an NEC championship.
Luckey gave up his final year of eligibility, and the Flash crashed to a 4-24 record the next season. They went 8-21 in 2006-07 before another disastrous campaign this past season.
Jones said he has no immediate plans and will take some time to decide if he’ll get back into coaching or pursue another venture. He also wanted to stress how appreciative he is of the Red Flash community.
‘‘Our fans have been great,’’ he said. ‘‘Having the opportunity to stay here for nine years, I certainly feel very fortunate and very blessed.’’

BOBBY JONES SAYS BOARD MEMBERS HAVE AGENDAS
Athletic Director Bobby Jones stated at a coaches meeting of many of the Trinity Coaches that he understands that at least eight of the Board Members have their own agendas. It has been reported to us that Jones also told all the fall coaches that their jobs are safe. Jones also reported he doesn't talk to Board members and really does not have time to deal with their personal agendas. Jones also brought up that he is not going to defend his work schedule he is available by phone or email if anyone needs to talk with him. I don't know what to make of this information, but the coaches stated he said it over and over that he doesn't listen to Board members.
Principal Don Snoke from the same meeting allegedly seems to be making many of the decisions with Mr. Jones. Mr. Snoke and Mr. Keruskin it appears are now in charge of facility agreements according to Snoke. Mr. Snoke also stated he has fixed the scheduling software for athletics, so eligibility will now begin to be monitored for winter sports. He also will now be involved in evaluating coaches, and will begin this process next week. Talk about a fulltime job all this and his principal duties!
These reports are from multiple coaches, i am on my way to Board meeting all tell you more later.

NOT A PART-TIME JOB!
I have tried to stay off opinion and on facts, it is time to give an opinion based on facts. We removed an Athletic Director who lived for his job, and his involvement with our students(ask a student), and had major influence in the WPIAL and other local athletic organizations. We removed an Athletic Director who pretty much ran the department almost all by himself, scheduling, finances, transportation,equipment,facilities. We removed an athletic director who lives in our community, and had children graduate from our school and who upon being hired here moved into our community with his family. I won't even get into the football coaching side but I will say the cheer at every home game we love Ed Dalton might send a message to the BOARD. We then replaced our Athletic Director with a person who never worked in a high school, never was an Athletic Director, lives an hour from the school ONE WAY, and does not seem to work very hard from EVERYONE's account. But don't take my word for it ask a principal, or a supervisor, or a coach, or a teacher, about how the athletic/activities spectrum is collapsing in our school district. Ask about Powder Puff Football Night, no security, no administrator, no pep rally,NO,NO,NO you get it. You will get an earful, but because most of the administrators, will not talk on the record, because the other outsider, the superintendent, who lives an hour away, and left his first superintendent job, after 1 1/2 years I wonder why? Enough is enough!! SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND no experience, no desire, disaster after disaster, why? To prove a point? Fix this can someone fix this there has to be a solution? Corporations fix promotions and demotions daily, do we want to be in the paper anymore? Lunches, Lawsuits, on and on?
