It's only a letter to the editor. But .... After getting the run-around from the local newspaper, toying with the idea. No paper, just online. Wouldn't have as many employees. Wouldn't have as many advertisers. But, the writing would be better and the bias a fresh breeze for an area in the straight-jacket imposed by a political agenda. Just another agenda maybe. But, a needed one. A fully responsive organization that writes all the angles. Without glaring typos and in English. I mean, I'm blind for good sakes. Not much to ask. What ya think?

NOTE - THE A-T CALLED ON FEBRUARY 10, SO, THERE IS SOMEONE AT THE END OF THE LINE. I THINK THIS WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE E-MAIL NOT THE ONLIJNE FORM. BUT, THANK YOU A-T.

This article by Rev. Pam Easterday, pastor of St. John's United Church of Christ, Tiffin, OH, appeared in the Sermonette section of the paper edition of The Advertiser-Tribune (Tiffin) but cannot be found within the online website of the A-T because they are not archived. So, if you only read the online edition or relegated this article to fish wrapper, you will never find it again. Which is a problem when Letters to the Editor, that are archived on the website, are written and negative , with no context. So, here is the Sermonette in entirety. By the way, I have sent letters to the editor through their online form and directly to Rob Weaver by E-mail, but, they have not posted or been considered for posting. This considering that TWO rude, negative letters have..

I might be blind. But, not stupid. That said - The Rev. Pam Easterday, St. John's United Church of Christ, Tiffin, OH, wrote an Sermonette for the Tiffin newspaper, The Advertiser-Tribune, which received negative comments in letters to the editor and none positive even though I sent one in. Having only lived here for a year, am I correct in supposing that this newspaper uses selective bias to promote a certain political philosophy? Or does this newspaper just lack basic responsivenees to the public it serves? Anyway, there are other ways to reach an objective and this is one. These letters to the editor are limited to 400 words, but, I fleshed out additional detail. I have no limit. If you did not read or save the newspaper with Pam's article, CLICK HERE. ,The article I wrote andwas filed unacceptable follows.

WOW. I haven't blogged on this platform for quite awhile. About time that I got back to it. It has been steady as it goes with the use of multi-media in the sites that I maintain for the long haul. That includes the website for our church, St. John's United Church of Christ - www.tiffinucc.org - but, till, need to come back and blog on this great platform. So, you will see more. Especially with the election heating up and the local need for passing a school levy in Tiffin. Even, with a passage in March, 2012, the cuts required will make transportation to the schools a nightmare. As investors in the future, we need to make some decisions that go beyond the gotta-tighten-our-belts mantra. Our students aren't competing with Fostoria, They are in completion with China. Get real folks. .

PlayList on Amazon _ Although often noted as a Christmas or holiday song, Winter Wonderland lyrics speak to neither except a reference to sleigh-bells. Other notes of interest. First published in 1934. Music by Felix Bernard (1897-1944). Lyricist Dick Smith (1901-1935). Most popular versions of this song recorded by Guy Lombardo's orchestra, Johnny Mercer, the Andrews Sisters and Perry Como. In the mid-50's the moral police offered a substitute verse for "Parson" replacing with "clown" although that bit of revisionist history spoke poorly to the parson role in rural areas of the country. You will hear versions with either verse and some with both. Would like to say that "Parson Brown" was the minister at the Grace Episcopal Church, Honesdale, PA which Dick attended, but, not - his boyhood minister was Rev. A. L. Whittaker. More coming about the author of and about this tune in a short. The story is spell-binding, even tragic. December 19, 2010.

John Lennon, a founding member of The Beatles, known for his subsequent solo career, and for his political activism would have been 70 years old this year. He was shot by Mark David Chapman at the entrance of the building where he lived, The Dakota, in New York City. Lennon had just returned from Record Plant Studio with his wife, Yoko Ono. What were you doing on Wednesday, December 8, 1980? Hard to believe it has been thirty years.Lennon's murderer, Mark David Chapman, was denied parole for the sixth time (since becoming eligible in 2000) by a three-member panel of the New York State Parole Board Commissioners conducted a video conference interview with Chapman from their offices in Rochester.

The 90th district has been represented by one-party rule for over 40 years. That is a real kicker. I switched car name-plates more often than that. Especially when one manufacturer forgot how to make them. The 90th district which includes Knox county needs some new ideas. John has them. He has lived in Gambier and practiced as an attorney for over twenty years. Read his ideas and talking points at ryerson.knoxcountyohio.net AND www.johnryerson.com. A link to a Mount Vernon News article is especially good. He deserves your vote because you deserve the best. November 2nd vote John Ryerson as if your future depended on it. I have lived in Ohio nearly all my life. And, Knox county for nearly 30 years. It does.
