I think it's great that Mr. Carratt is doing this. It was so nice to read something uplifting about someone in Y-town trying to improve his neighborhood "just because" rather than the no-goodnicks we hear about most of the time. We need more stories about these things, because I know they happen all over the area.
Good luck and best wishes to Dana - perhaps we'll get a chance to come and see the concert. I saw Mahler 2 performed last spring at University of Maryland by their symphony and it was awesome. If you have a chance, don't miss out on seeing this performed in a concert setting, especially at Stambaugh Auditorium.
Father Ed is AWESOME! He is a great asset, not only to St. Patrick Church, but to the area around it, and to the entire community. He tirelessly works to help people, regardless of their religion, ethnicity, politics, or other stuff that's really not all that important in the huge, grand scheme of things.
Ang - I was about 20 or 30 cars back westbound when traffic started to back up around 7:50 a.m. I had just gone by the exit at 534 westbound when traffic suddenly halted. It was probably only seconds since the accident happened.
I didn't know it was that bad until the emergency vehicles started to arrive. After two ambulances and two fire trucks (that I saw, there may have been more) went by, plus numerous OSHP cars (7 or 8, I lost count), I knew it must have been very serious.
My heart goes out to the driver of the semi truck and the family whose children were killed. They are in my thoughts and prayers.
Cambridge, they would have also probably hit innocent bystanders if everyone were firing in the general direction of the perpetrator. Your argument is insane, unless it is intended as sarcasm.
Quite frankly, I don't care what color the person is who is taking care of me. I want the best, most qualified person available and wouldn't care if the individual was purple. Good grief! What is wrong with these people?
My pulmonologist is Iranian. She is also brilliant and got my severe asthma under control with the right combination of medications. Oh, not to mention, I think she is a very pretty lady and extremely nice as well. I imagine there are some morons who wouldn't want her as their doctor because she is from the Middle East. I guess I'll never understand how xenophobic some people are :-(.
Awww :-(. Valentine certainly didn't deserve to be treated like that. Then again, since he wasn't being taken care of properly anyway, this might end up being the best thing to ever happen to the poor dude, since someone cared enough to contact the police.
I just can't understand anyone doing that. It makes me downright furious thinking about it, since I know of three shelters in Mahoning County that would have taken this kitty and, at the very least, made it comfortable. No respect for life whatsoever. I wonder how they treat humans if they would do this to a sick, practically defenseless animal!
jmagaratz-Your logic is flawed. Jones was president of YSU between 1931 and 1966; Pugsley was president from 1966 to 1973. The perceived and actual responsibilities of institutional presidents, as well as the typical tenure in that position have changed significantly in the intervening years. There remains significant value in requiring a university president to possess an earned doctorate degree, unless that person has significant experience in higher education administration at a vice presidential or dean level.
It's really a shame about Mr. Fergus, but some people just refuse to quit smoking. My father was like that. He had chronic bronchitis, emphysema, AND asthma and smoked himself to death. The doctor wouldn't prescribe oxygen, though my dad would have benefitted, because my dad would not quit smoking (plus he had mid-stage dementia and couldn't understand the consequences of smoking and having oxygen at the same time).
They say that nicotine is more addictive than heroin. From what I saw with my father, I can believe that.

Amid gun-control fight, new photo shows Obama shooting skeet
He also isn't using a semi-automatic assault rifle with a 100-round magazine, which I think is what he would like to have banned.
