We just don't know that at this time. They could have been in rock solid financial shape or they could have been living "pay-check to pay-check" so to speak. No one knows. You are correct. We just don't know. Or didn't a minute ago anyway. The mere existence of a loan was no basis to call them extremely irresponsible. The fact the director chose to specifically mention it, I will say, did leave me a little uneasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouooga Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 So, I thought about this more last night, and stand further behind my decision that the punishment doesn't fit the crime. DCI's evaluation for Arsenal was planned to take place soon. As a part of that evaluation, DCI evaluates the qualifications and competency of Arsenal's staff. Considering the breaking of the rules by the Director, DCI does have every right to decide that the corps is not fit because of decisions made by its leadership at the evaluation. The decision was not that Arsenal wasn't fit for OC; it was that the Director wasn't fit, and the consequence was a punishment to Arsenal. Basically, as I see it, if DCI had repremanded just the Director (request his resignation) that would have been fair, and to decide Arsenal wasn't fit for tour as a result of this would have been fair, but to rescind the entire evaluation as punishment to one individual, that's just malice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is a statement providing transparency, full disclosure all the things that define dci in their new direction? This is keeping the press at bay she requested an interview and was shot down. Instead of building a personal relationship with Tricia they are keeping her from asking questions that may help mold her story in dci's favor. Statements are twisted and construed to intentionally/unintentionally and miss the point totally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleran Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) To touch on an earlier side point, the Arsenal ex-director's use of the word "fraudulent" was incorrect from a legal definition, but lay people mis-use legal terms all the time. He simply should have indicated that the DCI sentence in question was "false". Edited January 17, 2019 by Eleran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They responded directly to the heart of that by stating they stood by Dan A. Now you can disagree with their stance but you in no way can disagree that they didn't answer the question asked and that they did so promptly.

However, at this point dci should be looking at the comment with concern and make a point in their statement to call that out. I am sure they will.

Stu Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 16 minutes ago, skevinp said: If the business does not continue, the value of the car itself is the primary way to pay off the loan. That's why it is called an asset. You don't need the dues anymore because you don't need the car anymore. That's how it works for everyone. A) Nope, that is not how it works for everyone; in fact most legitimate businesses which take care of youth do not 'rely' on the youth to financially keep the business in the black. B) Moreover, the problem is not the car, nor the loan on the car, the problem is the primary way the car is being paid for (primarily from dues paid by the youth who are supposed to be taken care of by the one who actually took our the car loan).

You are speculating alone that " DCI Is looking into it " , let alone is about to take action on it. My speculation is that DCI HQ is simply hoping that sufficient time will pass and that the reporter's claim in her piece will go away, without DCI HQ " looking into it " any further. All that said, it is not speculation to state that DCI has not responded either on its website, nor to the investigative reporter, on the allegation made re. Fred Morrison. Well, there IS the option that someone inform school districts hosting Crossmen this summer about the serious actions taken by their director (hiring an instructor knowing full well of his loss of teaching license fr sexual misconduct with a student) as well as allegations against the director (scrubbing this information from the internet). How many school districts want to open themselves up to this kind of scrutiny? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a demonstration of transparency, full disclose who is on the receiving end of all these fancy terms if not the press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
