Terminated and frustrated

They are not losing just "$10 widgets." A long time employee told me how people have walked out the back door with several sets of battery tools to the tune of $1000. In another instance they took 5 gallon pails and filled them with copper plumbing fittings, which added up to $3000. It happens all the time and, obviously, the cost does not come out of executive pay. The consumers and floor employees pay it. Nice going Home Depot.

Ronald McDonald Charities gives $5K check to Rich Center for Autism

They get $20,000 in Ohio Autism Scholarship money for every child they can sign up in their center. They do not pay for certified teachers so they are doing well financially. If anybody wants to help the truly disadvantaged they should give to the Rescue Mission, Youngstown House, women's shelter or other underfunded organization that serves the homeless and afflicted. The Rich Center is as much a charity as the university's football program.

Campbell mayor seeks probe of gun dischargeSFlb

Sounds like Gus needs an NRA gun safety course. Pointing the gun at the floor with finger on the trigger is not the way to clear a weapon, especially inside. Thank goodness he didn't shoot his weapons instructor. Quick course: finger off trigger, drop the magazine out, turn weapon on side with ejection port up, pull slide all the way back and hold (finger still off trigger), take a look, dump any round formerly in chamber by tilting weapon with ejection port down, or the chief could just have his weapons instructor unload his guns for him.

YPD chief vows to continue stepped-up efforts

Wow! That is some effective police work. Only by getting the lawless under control can the city attract new residents. New working residents are the only remedy for a city in our state of depression. New restaurants downtown, even with live music, are not going to rebuild the city. Only the belief by citizens that it is a safe and decent place to live. New working residents could potentially restore some of the abandoned houses if they can get them cheaply and live in reasonable safety. Whoever had the cleanup idea and the courage to put it into action deserves the thanks and praise of the community. Why could we not do this previously?

Another glimpse into Ohio’s lax oversight of charter schools

Its only partly an ideological conviction. They would deserve some respect if it was ideology. Its primarily a cost saving measure and the only way to make an end run around the supreme court's poorly enforced adequate funding pronouncements. Charter schools only get the foundation money, between 5 and 6 thousand per student while public schools usually require more that twice that amount because they cannot pick and choose their students like charters. More than that is needed in city schools to deal with bad behavior and to tutor unmotivated students from dysfunctional homes. This is consistently true across districts. If it could be done cheaper, some public districts would be doing it cheaper. If this is how charters manage money, imagine what corners they cut in instruction where it is harder to prove wrongdoing. The magic in charter schools has always been in the area of making phony data appear.

YEA chief to teachers: Expect layoffs

Bagnola is as useful as mammaries on a male bovine. He is excused from teaching so he can announce the administration's decisions to the membership when he is not pursuing his own career as an unsuccessful lawyer or staying home with mommy. He is undoubtedly waiting for the job of district lawyer currently held by Ted Roberts. Bagnola should be the first to As they say, people get the government they deserve.
