Amen to joining this space with the Park. Despite their faith, the church folks haven't done a lick to improve the drain this property is on the tax base and the quality of the neighborhood. Turn it into a welcome center for the park with secured parking and continuous trolley tours the length and width of the park. It could even turn enough money to pay for itself while reducing the traffic load and the repairs/maintenance they necessitate for Park roads.
Bob Dean strikes me as a good man. That he chooses to involve himself in charitable activities that are more useful than most of government without spending taxpayer money to do so makes him that much better.
Was this meeting publicized ? God knows the general public needs to know more about their rights to know what the rascals are up to. It seems almost defensive that the preponderance of invited attendees were precisely the people in position to obstruct any transparency in government.
Good article and good advice. The course I took 15 years ago was the best $25 I ever spent. It started with the basic idea that in a collision you loose, so do everything to avoid a collision and to protect yourself in the event of an accident. The acronym SIPDE was the heart of avoiding a crash and it works for driving as well. Scan, Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute describes the constant activity of being aware of what is going on around you using eyes, ears and mirrors; identify what in your surroundings may pose a threat; predict which threat(s) is becoming less or more imminent; plan your move to deal with it; execute your plan. Doing it is easier than describing it. SIPDE is part of being "in the movie" as motorcycling is sometimes described versus watching a movie inside the theater of your car.
Oil companies are not your friends. ODNR loves oil companies because they are the source of bureaucracy building funds; ODNR is not your friend. If you sell your mineral rights, get enough to move away, because you are of no importance to either once you sign. Never sign a lease without legal advice to ensure you understand the potential future ramifications of giving non-friends access to your property. If you are force pooled or unitized, seek a skilled lawyer immediately. You still will be screwed by developer and state but you can minimize the extent of the ripoff. Welcome to the economic growth model of oil and gas resource development.
The racing commission would have us believe they can save a sport in decline for want of interest by installing more indoor seating - bull. Penn National wants us to believe that they would keep a drag on earnings that "the sport of kings" is because they believe in developing thoroughbreds, also bull. Money is the only question here. The Governor owes cronies in Cleveland and Columbus. Penn National knows that VLTs make money 24/7. And once again the population of an area in desperate need of development is left holding the bag.
Right you are fatfrank. I suggest we all fly our flag today to celebrate both points, to commemorate those murdered and wounded, and to acknowledge that though our noses may occasionally be bloodied we will not be cowed by terrorists.
Right on Happy Bob. This guy needed his son to come out of the closet to figure out that being gay is not a choice, but a fact. Who knows what he needs in order to learn that background checks of Internet and gun show sales do not infringe our rights to own firearms. Background checks may not prevent all tragedies involving guns, but if they stop just one, they are worth more than the amount to which he is beholding to the NRA.
I agree with Billyc, even though Hagan is an embarrassment. Maybe some banana clip toting homophobe will threaten Portman's out of the closet son thus helping the Senator to find his spine on weapon registration that threatens no one's second amendment rights.
In paragraph four, change "of the festival" to "in the festival" and in the third from last paragraph, give Mr. Crutcher his due as a therapist and not as an abuser and neglector, and I think you have it.
