A very thoughtless gesture

To the owner of Dom's, a bar on the Corner of S. Main St, and Sterling Ave. in Rittman: The sign on your whiteboard outside of your establishment stating free weight bench to Rittman student athelete was not in good taste at all.

While it is true that the Rittman Football team finished this season awith a 1-9 record, the facts are that they did this with largely a freshman and sophomore team. Those young men played with alot of heart this past season.

This time last year the school district didn't know if there was even going to be a fall sports program. The entire coaching staff took coaching positions elsewhere, and this year's coaches work full time jobs outside of the school system. Other players who would have been starters on this year's team transferred to other districts to participate in their programs. I don't blame them, as they have to do what they can to possibly get scholarship money for college.

For you to put that sign outside of your establishment was a very thoughtless gesture.

And considering the fact that you have donated to various programs at RHS I will add this:The thoughts expressed are those of the staff and management of WIXY's Gone Bananas and do not reflect the opinion of Rittman High School Athletic Department, the All Sports Boosters or any other supporters of Rittman sports. It also does not express the opinion of the Rittman Marching Band or the WGBB. And lastly, I do not have any children participating in Rittman sports.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
