On the article Chief's Wife Guilty of Shoplifting at Avon Target

ReplyWhat an embarrassment for the city of North Ridgeville.
Police Chief Michael Freeman earns $117,755.41 a year.
His wife gets caught stealing. Why? Because her husband doesn't earn enough money?
WHAT in the heck was this woman thinking?
If I were in law enforcement and my wife did this to me, I'd be a candidate for anger management too.
Avon PD has nothing to apologize for.

On the Blog Post If You Use Roundup, You Are Killing More Than Just Weeds

Reply@Paul Skowronski says "And let me ask you this. Since farmers need to spray their crops to ensure profitable yields, wouldn't you want them using one chemical as opposed to MANY chemicals?"
Hey Paul, organic farmers manage to grow profitable crops without using chemicals. So why use any if they can be avoided? Especially when they (glyphosphate) are causing problems like those shown in the pic at this article:
"Dr. Swanson states that “Prevalence and incidence data show correlations between diseases of the organs and the increase in Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in the food supply, along with the increase in glyphosate-based herbicide applications. More and more studies have revealed carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting effects of Roundup at lower doses than those authorized for residues found in Genetically Modified Organisms.”

ReplyAngelo's ROCKS!
God bless them and all the folks who stepped up to show these girls how much the community really does care.
The pizza in the video looks scrumptious! No wonder Angelo's is so popular.

ReplyI'm sorry the dog didn't get to bite either of them. The penalty for harassing this animal should be at least a 3 month stint picking up dog poo at the local shelter.

"As long as it is on the property of the person who put up the fence, and the city's code was followed, I don't believe there is an issue."
The only issue I could see is if there were trespassing involved.

On the article Lakewood Voters Overwhelmingly Approve School Levy

"Homeowners have faced property tax increases because of the schools in 2004, 2007 and in 2010. And now, another increase because of THIS levy. That's EVERY THREE YEARS!!!!!!! Maybe your pockets are that deep but mine ARE NOT.
Cherie Simpson, you made an excellent point. I would not want to move to a levy happy community that jacked my taxes up every time someone squawed 'its for the CHILDREN'.
The kids in Lakewood are just fine. Even without this additional money they get a better education than half the nation. Home owners shouldn't be asked to subsidize anything other than the three Rs.

Reply"The items at Oo’s store will be sort of a comfort food, a reminder of his customers’ former home."
I'm glad the people from Burma will have a place to buy familiar foods.
I would like to try some of this comfort food.
I hope the owner will offer cooking classes or at least have some authentic freshly prepared take-out available.
Perhaps a restaurant down the road?
