• While the earlier fellow stands steady, other folks (to the right) really suffer from an antibiotic-caused condition and they are affectionately called Wobblers You can check a site related to a medical description of gentamicin toxicity and/or visit a doctor (M.D.) to learn about middle ear disorders. The American Hearing Organization has more info. Finally the medicine which causes the problem is a member of the Aminoglycosides (systemic) family and you can learn more from the National Library of Medicine.
  Follow this link top my list of comprehensive "wobbler" information.

• Besides being a Wobbler I have also experienced an Ischemic Stroke on the right-hand side of my brain which presented speaking problems and fine motor control problems. The most difficult of the two for me was the fine motor control problem which affected my ability to type and to prevent or write cursive lefthanded. Rather than go into the details. I would like to recommend two specific products which have provided a great deal of assistance to me. Iandn order to overcome the typing limitations I decide to choose Dragon NaturallyNspeaking software by Nuance. Confine their website at:http://www.nuance.com/
• I am currently using their product to type this addition to my webpages.
• I hated losing the ability to print and write and my early attempts were very frustrating as they consisted primarily of being asked to copy other examples of printing and handwriting. I found this very frustrating.
• After more than a few hours of searching on the Internet led me to Peterson Directed Handwriting which is helping me by re-creating the pathways from my brain to my nerves to my muscles into my fingers in other words, I am building new pathways, which helped me learn how to write again:

October 05, 2007 School funding has been a concern of mine. In March of 2006 I published and spoke of my concerns. Now, in a letter to the public, the new superintendent describes funding crises and staff changes. There has to be more accountability.

October 03, 2007 School levy funding! A devisive issue in many communities. The November 2007 election has a levy item on the ballot. It is termed EHJR 4204. I oppose it. A guest editorial from a local newspaper really states the case on why this ballot measure should be defeated.

June 22, 2007 Some concern has been voiced about the uses the School District Levy (approved in 2005) will be put to. Audits are a way of learning about a school district performance.
