Councilman 'King Bob' Dorris Attacks!


November 14, 2025

The 'Shadyside Discussion' page on Facebook has long been known as a sanctuary for the 'Prozac Princesses.' Only positive things are allowed on the page and God help you if a post is negative. One must sing their daily requirement of Kumbaya before opening Facebook.

On thursday, November 13, 2025, a post about the caboose in council chambers was debated by many. Brook Warren posted that he felt the priorities of council was misguided. He felt that other issues were more important than to 'update the Community Room.' It didn't take long for Meintel, Dorris and their Minions to attack. Meintel stated 'we didn't create all these problems... If memory serves, both Meintel and Dorris were previous council members, so yes, they were responsible for a great share of the problems. Meintel wants 'transparency' but many coucil transcripts list 'coucil adjourns to closed meeting.' Not so transparent when hiding in a secretive meeting. And finally, Meintel tells Brook 'Get used to it' in relation to his actions.

Then, Bob Dorris Jr. chimes in with his two cents by belittling Brook. He adds 'What we don't need are people 'NITPICKING' ...for likes in the comment section.' Nitpicking???  Dorris is attempting to silence anyone with a concern. Anyone using the 'Shadyside Discussion' page knows that anything other than praise for council is a call for the wolfpack to come down on them. Not a good way to gain 'likes.' Dorris could take over from the recently resigned slumlord as a group administrator for the page. Then, the page will continue to allow only restricted puff pieces that is acceptable to the Prozac popping, Kumbaya singing Karens in this town.

And to put a topping on the insults, Dorris reiterates Meintel's 'not part of the problem' badgering. Free speech is a mainstay of the solution and not a problem as the two is trying to twist. Open discourse of negative concerns is essential to having a transparent administration. But, with the past history of the two, I doubt that it will happen. It will be the same old story as before and nothing will change.

Battle expands over Community Caboose


November 15, 2025

Angry Men


The Facebook post regarding the Community Center caboose continued on with more people putting their two cents in. A recently elected coucilman decided to jump on the 'train' attacking Brook Warren. In the discourse, former teacher Harold Romick was referenced. Longwell evolved finally to snide and rude comments. He appeared to allude in his reference that Brook 'jumped to conclusions', 'condemned' ideas and was making 'something out of nothing.' Longwell appears to have forgotten that he is a public servant. He is here at our grace and not the other way around. He answers to us and must be respectfull to all persons. He is showing his true colors and is joining with two other bullies to control this town.

This 'caboose' fiasco has raised questions that haven't been addressed. Another teacher (Pauline Swamberg) that was here when Mr. romick was, left a large sum of money and the dying request was a caboose be placed in the median. The village reneged on her request and used her money. I am guessing the caboose in the community center was placed to appease those angered. Now, Meintel and his cronies are going to eliminate the caboose. They might as well tear down the useless marker in the median as well. That way they can further insult her and eliminate her memory.
