The verbal arrows have sure been flying…
By Joe Payne, Greenville School District Board Member
“Quit micromanaging!” “What a stupid decision!” “This board never does
anything right.” “How could you do such a thing during a building

would begin to subside. After all, body armor is hot in the summertime.
However, just this Sunday morning a few of my parishioners greeted me
with sly smiles and said, “Nice Cartoon!” “What cartoon?” I asked. “You
know, the Ackley cartoon in the Advocate. You’re in a dunce cap!”
Hahaha. Oh well… In a way, I feel strangely flattered to be included in
a genuine Ackley editorial... Read More. More Opinion.
