Pastor Rusty is right on. It starts with the parents setting a proper and Godly example. Do they require their children to go to church with them? Are they spending time reading and teaching them God's Word? Do their lives reflect Godly living? Do they pray in their homes and thank God for His blessings each day? Evil comes from the heart. If it is filled with good there is no room for evil.
"His attorney, Thomas Zena, advised him to make no statements because he will be filing an appeal, but Zena said his client is remorseful about what took place, while still maintaining his innocence." If he is innocent, why is he remorseful? We will now waste thousands more tax payer dollars as they go through the appeal process. This sentence will at least get this threat off the streets. It is just a shame that it will continue to waste tax payer dollars.
Most agree that this was no place for a plea deal. This career criminal should have been tried and given the maximum sentence allowed. Yet the people of Mahoning County continue to reelect Paul Gains. Maybe these parents are not the only ones that need to be held accountable, maybe the voters should also be held accountable. Thse thugs need to be sent a message that there truly is zero tolerance, not the dog and pony shows such as Operation Shield that get trotted in front of the public whenever there is another outburst of crime. Arresting them does no good when the punishment ends up being a slap on the wrist.
"Before spending more with more bed tax dollars, how good are we spending the current money now?" Todd, the answer to your question is not good at all. Consider the tax and spend policies of the counties one party system and you will know why.
thinkthentalk, if the government stops the subsidies, the cost will just be passed on to the consumer. That would be the trucking industry and business and raise prices for all of us. The price at the pump will only go up for you and all other car owners. This would get Obama Bin Laden his target price of $5 per gallon much quicker than any other way. Face it those of you who elected this economically challenged President are too busy drinking kool-aid to think for yourselves.
“We should not be held hostage to events on the other side of the world.” Guess he will never get it, we COULD NOT be held hostage if we were not dependant on the middle east for oil. Nice joke about White House lawn etc., how about the uninhabitable wilderness of Alaska? How about a pipeline from Canada to Texas? He keeps feeding the people lies and the kool-aid drinkers just keep drinking.
Vetoing pipeline legislation, ban on drilling, an overbloated Department of Energy that does nothing, talk of alternative energy that never gets past the talking stage. Does anyone remember that 10 years ago we were told drilling in Alaska wouldn't help as it would take 10 years before that oil would do us any good. Guess what 10 years later it is worse and still no alternative energy, unless you want to buy a fire trap from GM (government motors). Talk of drilling in Alaska would back off the speculators and lower oil prices, actually drilling would back them off substantially. Anyone who believes this blowhard President is not reponsible is dillusional. I have a home in Youngstown to sell you below appraised value.
Another Paul Gains failure. Over two years and still no trial. Maybe witnesses will die, recant, move, whatever. Memories get bad evidence gets lost, simple delay tactics are the defense lawyers best friends (which should be their only friends).You voted this incompetent person into office again over unproven allegations so now we all have to live with him.
Despite high gas prices, Ohio drivers move slowly, cautiously toward CNG vehicles
Flex Fuel all over again. Decades of talking about alternative energy, and decades of little action. Talk will not fix the problem, action will.

Dear Ms. Rimedio Righetti: We have economic development

What was the president thinking?
thinkthentalk, if the government stops the subsidies, the cost will just be passed on to the consumer. That would be the trucking industry and business and raise prices for all of us. The price at the pump will only go up for you and all other car owners. This would get Obama Bin Laden his target price of $5 per gallon much quicker than any other way.
