Phil Weaver's blog

There are so many people in the public sectors screaming about money. We need more for the schools. We need more for the jail. Screaming to have a bigger piece of a finite pie. Of course this would be the gut reaction for most people. Happily not all. (I loved Mark Campbell's quote which basically said he's do his best with what he was given)

But the real question should be "Why are we here and what can we do to fix it?"

Well I feel really strange tooting my own horn here but Liz and Phil Weaver voted Valley Springs Citizens of the Year. Read about it on the Pine Tree Quite a surprise and quite an honor. Liz and I felt very special being among the other nominees as we have a great deal of respect for each of them.  

Please review the communications I've received via Wallace member Chuck Cantoni. This is in regards to tomorrow's (Tuesday) funeral procession through Wallace for Kyle Coumas, Army Spc. from Lockford killed Oct. 21 in Afghanistan. To show respect we would like to have folks display the flags as the procession passes; the Wallace Lakes Estates folks have 10; if you can join in and we can display the WBA flags currently in storage, please let me know by phone 763-5305 or by email. We would need to be at the Wallace PO by 10am.

After Da' Shifu Al Moore's passing it became incredibly difficult to find a Shou' Shu' school. As the pressures within the system to "modernize" became stronger a large number of the quality instructors went on their way. No one except maybe a few teachers very loyal to their art remained. As far as we know, we were the only school to continue to teach Da' Shifu's Shou' Shu' in a commercial school. With the loss of so many quality instructors, Shou' shu' itself was at risk. The art could have easily been lost.
