$45 Million Gift to University Of MD Center for Celiac Research Largest Ever for University
Categories: News
Tags: , Celiac Disease, Center for Celiac Research
Last week I was invited to an upcoming press conference at the University of Maryland's School of Medicine, and was told there would be a "major announcement." The press conference was this morning at 11:00, and I awoke to this headline in the Baltimore Sun:
"University of Maryland gets record donation for celiac research: $45 million to help create first-of-its-kind institute."
Dr. Alessio Fasano and his team of researchers and clinicians have been given a most generous private gift of $45 million dollars to, as he said in the press conference today, "find solutions, find a cure, help people NOW" who suffer from celiac disease and related diseases, including including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Fasano speaks about how this financial gift will be used.
If you haven't heard of Dr. Fasano, you may have heard of his accomplishments. For example, he led the largest epidemiologic study ever to determine that celiac disease affects 1 in every 133 people, putting celiac disease on the proverbial map back in 2003. He also started the Center for Celiac Research in 1995, with the goal of "increas[ing] the awareness of Celiac Disease in order to provide better care, better quality of life, and more adequate support for the Celiac Disease community."
In addition to Teacher of the Year and numerous other awards, Dr. Fasano was awarded Maryland Innovator of the Year in 2005 and Entrepreneur of the Year at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 2006. Fasano and his Center also spearheaded the American Celiac Disease Alliance, formally American Celiac Task Force – whose work resulted in Congress passing a food allergen labeling law that makes it easier for people with Celiac Disease and gluten sensitivity to identify safe food items. The Center also created the International Run/Walk for Celiac Disease, which has raised over $1 million for national and local celiac awareness programs and research.
Given Dr. Fasano's proven track record of innovation in this field and dedication to the cause of celiac disease prevention, education and cure, there is every reason to trust that his gift will form the foundation of many exciting discoveries in this field. According to Dr. Fasano, this money will allow them to take risks and think outside of the box — the kind of thinking that takes "discoveries beyond imagination." Alternative treatments will be explored, including fixing the intestinal defect that initially allows the celiac disease autoimmune response, developing enzyme therapy to promote wheat digestion, and engineering grains that do not initiate a celiac reaction. Additionally, other University researchers will work with in conjunction with this expanded celiac center on innovations like a vaccine to prevent autoimmune diseases altogether.
This generous gift was made by Ken and Shelia Cafferty of Indiana, together with an unnamed foundation in which they are involved. The Caffertys know first-hand how important the Center is to people who have celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, as Shelia is a patient of Dr. Fasano. I spoke to Mr. Cafferty today, and he assured me it was an easy decision to give this gift to a Center that has meant so much to their family. Indeed, looking around the room today as patients, community members, researchers, and clinicians all shared the excitement around this gift, our eager anticipation for the future of celiac disease research was palpable.
To donate to the Center and learn more about their incredible accomplishments, visit CeliacCenter.org.

I hope some of their research includes autistic children. I believe celiac families have more of these problems.

And it gets stuck in your teeth and you taste it's gross flavor for a long time afterwards! Want a delicious mango? Go buy a real one! Dont waste your money on this junk. Besides, this has none of the naturally occurring vitamins and enzymes that fresh fruit has. I dont even know why I wasted my money on this.

The thing about Brown: He's most often right
Who is Steve Brown, former Peachtree City mayor and current Post 4 candidate for county commissioner? Some people attempt to cast him as a villain, while others laud his stand on contentious issues, Let's explore two of them.
If it's easy to find stories about Steve Brown (which it is), it's even easier to find newspaper articles by Steve. And while you may not agree with all his positions, even his greatest detractors would have to concede that he thoroughly researches his subjects, which is particularly refreshing in an era of politicians who don't even read measures they vote for.
Two past projects seem to have generated the most debate: the extension of TDK Boulevard from Peachtree City to Coweta County, and the Peachtree City Development Authority's operation of the Tennis Center.
Time has proven Brown right on both of his very public crusades for citizens he represented. If you are an average homeowner wanting to preserve our great quality of life, Brown has been one of your greatest defenders.
TDK Boulevard — On Feb 7, 2003, then-Mayor Steve Brown signed the TDK Boulevard Extension Agreement with the Fayette County Commission, agreeing to extend that road "to promote adequate and safe means of transportation" and committing the city to a $200,000 contribution.
While the city could regulate growth along the road within its limits, it had no control over the Coweta County length of the road that abutted the city. Developers quickly saw opportunities to heavily build along the Coweta portion of the road, and Coweta offered no zoning assurances to protect Peachtree City from adjacent overdevelopment.
As a result of those plans, Steve said in a March 2004 letter to the editor, "The creation of the TDK Extension is purely for developmental purposes, not traffic relief," and in November he called the developer special interest claims of the extension being "a bypass which would reduce traffic on Highway 54" the "relief valve myth." The Citizen reported the following month that Brown was "vehemently opposed" to moving forward with the TDK Extension.
The Newnan Times-Herald editorial board, in a December 2004 issue, compared Brown to Alabama Governor George Wallace standing in the doorway blocking integration while saying he was the "lone holdout in the new road talks."
Former mayors of Peachtree City and the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce all lambasted Brown for taking a stand against the TDK Extension. By October of 2005, Brown's predecessor, a very frustrated Bob Lenox, said that everyone from Congressman Lynn Westmoreland down to every local councilperson knew Brown "personally stonewalled this [TDK] project."
Lenox continued, "It is not often in government that you can clearly find the culprit when things go wrong, but in this case every one of us who has worked for years to make TDK Boulevard a reality knows that Steve Brown stopped it."
Harold Logsdon campaigned in favor of the TDK Extension and displaced Brown as mayor in 2004. Soon, however, after massive development plans were filed in Coweta, groups like the Peachtree City Civic Association joined in the movement to kill the expansion, and by June of 2007, the road project was officially dead and Fayette County returned the $200,000 to the city.
In the January 2008 PTC Update newsletter, Mayor Harold Logsdon, an enthusiastic supporter of the extension said, "Two years ago I campaigned on the need for TDK." He continued, "Well, the situation changed with the proposed massive development on our border, so I changed my position. Completing TDK is not in the best interest of PTC and I don't see that changing anytime soon."
Had Brown not had the courage to take a stand with everyone railing against him, we would have the TDK Extension, a massive development next to us, and traffic jams worse than any we can imagine. Steve Brown had taken a whole lot of heat, but it turns out that the lone holdout was right.
Tennis Center — The other issue that special interests target Brown for is the tennis center and development authority scandal. Like the TDK issue, Brown took a stand against what he thought was wrong and was not in the best interest of PTC: loose (and sometimes non-existent) accounting records, failure to record meeting minutes and borrowing funds without public votes.
Following Brown's efforts, The Citizen editor Cal Beverly said in an in-depth November 2005 public blog that "Those community leaders ran the old DAPC out of their back pockets. They kept precious few records, despite being required to by state law. Several of them served on the board of directors of either a lending bank or a bidding contractor."
Beverly condemned the DAPC's performance saying, "If they had performed the same way on their day jobs, they would have been justifiably terminated." He concluded, "There is no recorded vote on more than a million dollars in loans to the DAPC. There's no paperwork financial trail to determine where that money went. How can any reasonable person praise this old board?"
Many of the people who defended the DAPC were mortified to learn that three of the DAPC members were on the board of directors of the bank issuing under-the-table high interest, short-term loans to the DAPC.
A September 2005 article appearing in The Citizen entitled, "Mayor slams DAPC board members' bank ties," DAPC member and bank board member Doug Warner admitted he should not have voted on the loans due to a conflict of interest. "If that's evil, then I'm sorry. Take me to task for it," Warner said.
The DAPC members resigned in shame. Steve Brown, the lone holdout, was proven right again.
I'd add one footnote. Being a senior leader on the people's side of high profile issues distinguishes a public servant from a politician. That's why I'm voting for Steve Brown for Fayette County commissioner, Post 4.
Robert Ross
Peachtree City, Ga.
Read the letter above and you'll know when Steve Brown tells you he's going to stop the West Fayetteville Bypass he'll do it.
A Final Thought
I've learned a lot over the last few years of my life. One of the main things I've learned is who I can count on when it comes to getting down in the trenches and fighting for a cause. Some folks will get down in the mud and help the cause and some folks just walk away. Some folks will look over their shoulder but others don't even look back..
Steve Brown and Allen McCarty have said from the beginning of this campaign that their concerns are with the citizens of Fayette County. They have voiced those concerns many times.
From the very beginning, Steve Brown has taken a lot of mudslinging. In the face of much ugliness, he has continued to state documented facts. That hasn't been the case with the opposing incumbents.
Steve Brown has never abandoned the trenches. It got pretty dirty down here, but he stayed the course. He continued to address questions in the blogs. His opponent didn't do that. Even though folks were ugly to him, he continued to personally and publicly answer questions and clarify matters. His opponents didn't do that.
Steve Brown and Allen McCarty are good men to have in the trenches.
It was Steve Brown who told us about Jack Smith's plans to bring Mass Transit into Fayette County. Jack Smith said it wasn't so, but Steve Brown looked up Smith's voting record with the Regional Transportation Board. Smith voted in favor of the Mass Transit Plan into Fayette County 3 times. He said he wouldn't but he did. Mayor Ken Steele voted in favor of turning Fayetteville into a transit bus hub. Just another one of Smith's deceptions.
Smith has been pushing the West Fayetteville Bypass without any detailed traffic studies. He has been pushing it even though our tax money will have to pay almost a million dollars in mitigation for impacting our streams and wetlands. Who know how many millions will have to be paid for right of way acquisition along homeowners property. Jack Smith, Eric Maxwell and the county engineers said they wouldn't/couldn't buy folks property before they had obtained the Federal 404 Permit to build the road. All the while they were saying that, they had already bought some property on Janice Drive and promised other folks SWEET DEALS for their property. There goes out tax money. There goes another lie/deception.
After making plans for all of the 2004 SPLOST money, Jack, Eric and the rest of the fabulous five started making noise about another SPLOST. Before the 2004 SPLOST had ended, they asked the voters for another $135,000,000. The thing about the 2009 SPLOST was that Lee Hearn had to admit to a group of citizens that he commissioners had not even seen the Wish List of that tax until about 30 minutes before they voted to implement the Resolution. Will this list never end?
No. Jack Smith said that the Bank of Georgia was not a developer's bank, but Pat Shepherd said that it was for builders and developers in Fayette and Coweta Counties. Jack Smith said that there were only 2 developers on the Board of Directors for the BOG. However, in a search of the Secretary of State's Office we found that 8 out of the 11 members are directly tied to development. If you count Jack Smith in his capacity of controlling zoning and land use for the county, there are 9 members of the Board of Directors for the Bank of Georgia.
Now, we come to the ethics question. It is a direct conflict of interest for Jack Smith to sit on the Board of a developers bank and also be responsible for zoning and land use in Fayette County.
Jack Smith accepted an expensive first class trip from the Sany Corporation. He granted huge tax breaks to the Corporation and then was treated to a luxurious trip to China by the same corporation.
Jack Smith's Bank of Georgia position and his acceptance of a luxurious trip to China are ethically questionable.
Several of the Smith supporters on this site have been saying the Brown supporters (I include myself in that group this time around) don't say anything about Brown's record as mayor.
One of them posted such a comment under this very letter to the editor, the one that describes what Brown did as mayor!
The Smith supporters are out wandering in the desert. You can't back Smith or Maxwell without supporting the West Fayetteville Bypass, MARTA buses in Fayette and sales tax increases.
At this very minute, Eric Maxwell has applied for a judicial post at the same time he is running for the county commission. Jack Smith won't quit the developer bank board which conflicts with his government land use and zoning duties. I don't know how you get behind all of that.
They can hate on Steve Brown all they want but the fact is he stood up to Smith and Maxwell and he opposes the road to nowhere and the buses and the sale tax increases.
He's been honest and on the mark.
but while you have your head where it is, check him for polyps.
Hutch is immature and making a mockery of the election process. You would be better to not vote at all with this "no choice" protest. You had the choice to run yourself. If the county lacks good choices for the election it only has itself to blame. Voters should get informed and make the best choice they can.....not waste the time of the elections supervisor counting bogus votes!
Then we would not have any idea at all how many people are disgusted with our choices for commissioner, I never said I would make a better commissioner, I said neither of these two are worth a damn, but if it makes you feel better here's a choice for you, vote, don't vote, or kiss my butt.
Hutch generally doesn't say enough for anyone to be able to say he is immature!
He is a "People" person and not an issues person.
Never heard his position on buses---just who might ride them; he is against taxes, but will probably vote for someone who isn't; he had no real stand on avoiding a great depression in 2008 but didn't want the banks and finance companies bailed out and GM and Chrysler saved which surely would have caused an instant depression.
Our founding Fathers were Christians, he thinks. but they were Deists! Christian means Christ--Deists did not believe in the Trilogy--just God.
Hard to figure.
This can be gleaned by what little he says, just as he thinks I am forty people and get blamed for all of them and complains to Cal every chance he gets about those who disagree!
I am a people person, but can be a issue person if need be. You have no idea what I think in regards to religion, but to fill you in, I'm just this side of an atheist, but a little beyond agnostic. You aren't quite 40 people yet, but you have been about 8 or 9 just since the format change, you can change your name, but the anal orifice you are is apparent in your every post. While CCB can check Brown for polyps, you can check yourself, if you know what I mean. I have never complained to Cal about you, in fact a couple of times I have defended you, I believe the mentally slow should have a chance to express themselves too.
Here're a couple of quick ones...
- Yes, he initially supported the TDK extension into Coweta County, then stood up to state, county, and local politicians (along with developers, builders, and bankers) to oppose and stop it when we all discovered the road would inundate us with overwhelming traffic. Even one of his primary antagonizers (Harold Logsdon) ended up publicly siding with Steve's position.
- Exposed the conflict of interest of board members who simultaneously served on the Development Authority of Peachtree City (DAPC) and on the board of the bank that was loaning money at higher than market interest rates to the DAPC. And that the DAPC kept completely inadequate records of financial transactions and meeting minutes.
- Before, during, and after his term as PTC mayor, did not receive any financial benefit resulting from the sale or purchase of city property, zoning or re-zoning decisions, contract awards, or the like.
Compare that to Commissioner Smith, who accepted an extravagant Asian vacation from the Chinese company he granted tax expemtions to; who has given three changing rationales for constructing a $52m road to nowhere (unless you close the GA 74 - I-85 interchange, as Smith has suggested), and attempted to foist a $135m ales tax on us while he simultaneously accumulated a $5m county rainy day fund.
I'll take Steve's warts over Smith's suspect actions...
You're back peddling Nuk. You're all about character assassination. It looks like you never read the letter above these posts. Go back and give it a read and you'll see some of the things Steve Brown did for us a mayor. As the title says, Brown was right.
Ginga1414 has said this time and again, you Smith guys can't talk about the issues. You know Smith and Maxwell are wrong on the West Fayetteville Bypass, the buses, his free trip to China and the conflict with the bank.
Smith has lied. Read the letters to the editor on this web site. No one is refuting them.
I love your post below. You've shown the difference in the quality of content between the Brown side and the Smith side is huge.
The Smith people don't talk about the horrible 2009 SPLOST, the West Fayetteville Bypass or the transit buses (not to mention Smith's gifts in exchange for tax breaks situation).
David Barlow's letter --
I was very surprised by Commissioner Jack Smith's letter in The Citizen on June 16. Right off the bat, he said that a vote for him "is a vote for sanity in managing your tax resources." Exactly what definition of "sanity" is he using to describe his actions?
This is the same guy who is building a $50 million road to nowhere with our limited resources (Georgia and federal highway departments found it did not score high enough and was too expensive).
In addition, he tried to dupe us into another SPLOST, taking an additional $135 million out of our wallets for pointless projects they came up with at the last minute. Smith and friends wanted us to throw away a sum equaling over two times our annual budget.
Commissioner Smith, your actions are definitely not my definition of "financial sanity."
Steve Brown's letter --
Commissioner Jack Smith voted to put mass transit buses in Fayette County. In public, he said he was not going to do it, but he did do it, multiple times. He admitted this on the video.
You will also see where he says [of] the transit plan, "It is not the best plan that I would put together, but I was only one voice in the group." The other "voices" from Clayton, Henry and Fulton counties told Smith to take the buses and he agreed.
Virgina Allen's letter --
I don't know who Commissioner Smith is trying to fool by saying the bank is not oriented toward builders and developers. There are many newspaper articles supporting that connection.
In fact, just take a look at some of the board members of the bank: Pat Shepherd, a former board member of sales and marketing of the Mid-West Georgia Homebuilders Association; Donnie H. Russell, owner and president of manufactured housing sales company Parham Industries, Inc. as well as director and part-owner of manufactured home production company Signal Homes; Arlie C. Aukerman, former chairman and president of construction firm A.C. Aukerman; Fayette County Commission Chairman Jack Smith, an elected official who votes on land use and zoning matters; Thomas G. Sellmer, former owner of real estate management and investment company Sellmer Property Management; Vincent M. Rossetti, president of Ravin Homes, Inc. as well as manager of real estate and office management firm MiRome, LLC; and William Robert Hancock, Jr., partner in real estate firm F&H Investment.
You owe it to yourself as an informed voter to read the FDIC's "Order to Cease and Desist" for Jack Smith's Board of Directors at www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/enforcement/2009-06-06.pdf. There are a lot of things Commissioner Smith is just not telling you.
Michael Meyer's letter --
Even Eric Maxwell, an attorney and commissioner, was asked the question regarding this issue from Eric Imker at a recent forum: "Can you legally change the allocation of SPLOST money you currently dedicated for the West Fayetteville Bypass? Can you re-direct it to some other SPLOST designated project? That's just a yes or no question."
Maxwell: "The answer is yes. Even the Georgia state code regarding bonds allows you to change what was voted on if the purpose stated is no longer necessary or circumstances have changed such that the expenditure of all or part of such bond funds is no longer practicable or feasible. O.C.G.A. & 36-82-4.2 (2008)."
Smith would have you think no with his repeated mantra, "voters mandate," that we have to build this road to nowhere with no environmental permits and no* state funding because we have no choice.
I can go on and on and on.
Finally I'm glad to see you grew a pair, although you didn't answer the question, I haven't accused either side of slamming, I'm just asking why when one does it it's different then the other side, but in true Brown fashion, you dance around the question and in the end never answer. So be it.
I think the average Brown voter must have an IQ of a Frito if they haven't figured out in the last two months that I am NOT voting for either of the two losers running.
At least your not making a mockery of the election process.
even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes :)
Yeah, yeah, yeah :) I'm just ready for the votes to be counted and to see all the howling about how the world as we know it is going to end late tomorrow evening, no matter the outcome.
Maybe you can answer this, Steve wouldn't, why when you and he slam Smith it's character assassination, but when you and he do it, it's just campaigning?
Steve Brown and Allen McCarty are not land developers, do not build along WFB, do not have political ties to anyone who does and in general, are not connected to any special interest groups that do. They will represent the citizens of Fayette County honestly and openly. That's all we can ask for.
I agree that for government to work for the people, it must work with the people. Fayette County government used to work until Maxwell and Smith got in. It's unfortunate, but they just haven't identified themselves with mainstream Fayette County. Otherwise, they would be responsive to what the majority wants as opposed to what the few want. They would make some attempt to get into the details of those issues which have so, so many times been brought to their attention. Brown and McCarty will make a difference in the people's wishes being heard.
If you're voting on the issues and the best interest of the county, Steve Brown and Allen McCarty are the way to go.
The Brown haters are doing their dead-level best tonight with the character assassinations, but they can't complete on the issue either.
Which one of them are going to say that the bypass and the buses are a good idea?
That's the ENTIRE blueprint of every Steve Brown and his supporters campaign!
Where are all the posts about all the great things Brown did as Mayor for 4 years in PTC? I haven't seen ANY! I have heard the gross distortions about how he "killed" TDK when he didn't, the excuses about why he was totally against it before being elected, then totally for it, then totally against it.
Oh yeah, there is the district voting issue where he slammed the hell out of everyone opposed to it and now takes a complete 180 and doesn't admit ever that "hey, I was totally wrong and maybe shouldn't have ripped into those opposed like a 10 year old." Has he ever said "I was wrong?" NO.
Yeah, the day that Brown and his sheeple campaign on Brown's track record instead of trying to bury the opponent might be the day that the same is returned to them. Brown initiated all of this years ago and has continued ever since, which has lead to landslide losses the last two elections and likely heading for three-strikes-you're-out.
If Brown wants to get elected to some public office, he had better pack it up and move because he blew up every bridge in FC long ago and has shown no clue whatsoever about rebuilding them.
EDIT: I left out the fact that almost every single post from the Browniacs crowd calls Smith a liar and worse. Yet, you are worried about some kind of character assassinations on Brown? There are a lot of people who would have voted against Smith if someone better was running against him. As it is, Cyclist will get a few votes, Smith will get a LOT, and Brown will get beaten like a rented mule.
Unfortunately fences were 'built' long before anyone in this discussion was born. Fences built based on hate and ignorance are coming down - and allowing the true meaning of freedom and democracy to become a reality not only in our country but throughout the world. Discussion based on issues and strongly held personal convictions are instructional. Discussion based on personal belittlement is a waste of time and energy. I hope that the country is listening closely to those who profess to lead.
Now maybe Washington will read it and we'll hear less hate speech; hate speech about high-productivity earners and private businesses who provide the greatest majority of us with jobs.
Maybe less hate speech and fewer belittling jeers about those who promote personal responsibility, less government, and more individual freedom.
Maybe more kept promises about transparent legislative processes, instead of midnight and Christmas Eve backroom dealings. And putting proposed legislation on the internet for us to review and comment on for five days before it's signed into law.
Maybe ...
I completely agree with all you've said. I truly believe we are going to see a better than usual number of voters who vote in Primary Elections. I am basing that statement on all the comments folks are writing here and the number of thumbs up and honks we have been receiving from our flag and sign waving.
"Maybe" as Bob says we will find that folks are sick and tired of what the process has become. If we just keep on telling folks that they can make a difference by educating themselves on all issues and voting, we have a chance to turn our country, state and county around. I think everyone wants our government to be better. However, as I've said before, "more isn't better." I'm voting for "better."
I am so hopeful you are right!!! How long does it take for returns to show in local elections? Can't wait!!
Maybe if ALL of us would acknowledge some of the positives that have happened in the last 10 years - some progress could be made. Our country, as well as our world has undergone some 'rough' times based on lack of ethics, vision, and morality on both sides of the aisle in our Congress and the leadership of US corporations . . . . but we're still here - and moving ahead. . through the good will and tenacity of the American people. Midnight and Christmas Eve backroom dealing is not new to national politics or local politics. ..however now far more transparent than our national and local leaders are smart enough to acknowledge. The only way that the American people can truly take back our power from corrupt and greedy politicians is for more than 40% of eligible voters to participate in both the primary and November elections. It's difficult finding an honest leader these days. .politics in the US has become a nasty process where few ethical men and women care to become participants. Sad. It would be refreshing to find a candidate who had no dirty laundry to air – then one could deal with differences of 'issues' or 'solutions to problems'. Of course, when any potential leader becomes a threat to the status quo – the 'image' makers or destroyers are hard at work with 'image breakers' – not bothering to base their attacks on 'truth'. The idea of not cooperating with a leader that did not receive our vote regardless of the need for cooperation in order to progress is a losing/destructive strategy that many in our country are ready to reject. Those too far to the left and too far to the right will realize that in order to solve problems and move ahead, compromise is needed among intelligent persons who will look at the problems and if a strategy is not working, can make adjustments to insure success for the American people. Honest stones can be thrown at both Democrats and Republicans. Those who are hurt are the American people. Let's stop throwing stones and get to work cooperating for the future. Our enemies rejoice that we are talking about separating our 'united' states. We're being destroyed from within - through the mistrust and old lines of division and hatred.
Obama is out there blaming Republicans for his own FAILURES again.
There are plenty of unspent funds in his worthless "stimulus" program to fund unemployment benefits.
Republicans just want him and his bleeding heart liberal minions to follow the "Paygo" (pay as you go) law that the DEMOCRATS passed that states that any new spending must be funded through tax increases or reduced spending.
But no, Obama would rather that people in need not receive extended employment benefits. Obama would rather use the unemployed to politicize the whole thing by blaming Republicans for following the DEMOCRAT passed Paygo law.
Obama cares nothing about America or its citizens. He cares only about power. If he truly cared about the unemployed he would use "stimulus" funds to extend their benefits. But no, he doesn't care.
Barack Obama is a worthless FAILURE. He has FAILED America and will be out of a job in 2012. Bet on it.
Let's see what more we can do to get out more than 40% of the local voters
Many tried. Too many county residents stated, "What election?" SAD! I'm hoping I just didn't contact the right people!! We'll know soon.
District voting is dead either way, I will not support it. However, I think term limits have a very good chance of passing. The responses I have gotten from the citizens numbering in the hundreds from all over the county is 100 percent in favor.
Peachtree City has had term limits for over a decade.
Thanks for answering my question concerning district voting.
What is the process for establishing term limits?
Don't get me wrong,I agree with your stand for term limits. However, term limits don't mean we have to stop paying attention. Look at Harold Logsdon, for example. Logsdon was so counter to what is good about Peachtree City he almost destroyed the place. There were a lot of uninformed votes in that election.
every elected office should have them.
If you proposed term limit plan fails, what will be your position on district voting?
A simple reply would be appreciated.
life, since Robert W. Morgan hasn't responded to you, I will. No, I am not Steve Brown and I am not a "character."
I am a human being. You have called me a "character." Others have called me Eric Maxwell's "bucket lady."
Thank you, Doug.
You guys obviously haven't been to the county commission meetings. Bob Ross and Ginga Smithfield have spoken at commission meetings numerous times and have written many letters to the editor (all on this web site).
Get back to the real issues.
Get a life guys.
I'm not on here frequently to always know the players so tell me; this Ginga character, that's got to be Steve Brown, right?
This is one of the best LTE's I've ever read. It tells it like it is. Mr. Ross is right. Nobody can argue with Steve Brown's accomplishments because he can prove anything he says. The negative posts are mostly soreheads who have no data to back up what they say. Brown is a straight shooter whom I predict will beat Developer Jack. Heaven help us if he doesn't!
For those of you who haven't been there, visit the McCarty website at www.allenmccarty.net and the Steve Brown website at www.sb4faycom.com. There, you will find a great deal of information on the two new candidates. Steve Brown has explained all the big issues brought about by the campaign in great detail.
You can make your vote count on line. Go to www.splostpoll.com and cast your vote for commissioners or school board.
The Republican Primary is the election...GO VOTE!
I just love to watch all of the local incumbents huddling together in their pathetic attempt at telling us "we really didn't mean it." Like the BOE's Terri Smith, it was all just a paperwork error.
You can only stab the voters in the back for so long before they stab in return. I'm glad people are waking up and not accepting the same crappy stuff from government.
The local Democrats like David's Mom are what is killing this country. For them the grass is always greener on the socialist side of the fence.
Don't blame 'local Democrats' for what is happening in Fayette County - it's all on you Republicans - and you can't get along with yourselves. Sad. Maybe if some 'fences' were taken down, and people/citizens started working together for our country - we'd see some meaningful change. What the last national election said loud and clear - THIS STATUS QUO HAS GOT TO GO!
Obama built the first fence with his "I won" comment on day 1.
He has been the most divisive "president" in recent history. He isn't interested in building bridges with the Republicans as he tears them down every chance he gets. He doesn't want their opinion or input on anything - he just wants them to rubber-stamp every one of his proposals without comment, and then accuses them of being the party of now when they don't go along.
Obama is nothing but a very immature little man that can't take it when other people disagree with his policies.
He is a misrable failure and has failed to lead this country, and then blames it all on Bush and the Repulicans.
How pathetic
There was just "so much" needing done after 16 years of Bushes, 8 years of Reagan and more than Clinton could possibly correct in 8 years, that he has to move fast.
Doesn't a whole passel of 60-40 votes (or therabout) indicate anything to you?
As Boehner said, "hell no."
Not a single republican thought that there were any crooks on Wall Street or in banks and financial houses! Last week they said no (all 40 of them- 40) that no regulation was needed.
That is like saying: go ahead oil companies start drilling thousands more deep water oil wells tomorrow! Sheer stupidity---hoping for hard-head votes!
How can you possibly craft sweeping financial reform to preclude another recession and omit from that same proposal any additional oversight or control of Fannie & Freddie?
They played a pivotal role by providing a dumping ground for housing loans that would never have seen the light of day had the greedy banks not been able to quickly offload them onto Freddie & Fannie.
Kinda like illegal drugs: if there's no market for the junk, it won't be produced and peddled. The federal government provided the market and the crooks came out of the woodwork.
On the local, county level, the issues are rarely Democratic or Republican. Everyone in Fayette County can get a feel for the West Fayetteville Bypass and pork projects in the proposed 2009 SPLOST.
I got into my race on the last evening of qualifying because no one signed up to challenge the status quo. I am encouraged that people are starting to wake up and I hope they vote on July 20.
the trend is sustained trhough the November general election
That cinched it! I'll vote for Brown! Thanks for all of the conversation and information regarding the election.
.......your saying suddenly that you will now vote for Brown. I assumed long ago that he had your vote locked up!
You should have said "just another reason for me to vote for him!"
Frankly, it is simply whether you want a moderate republican or a right wing republican!
You are one ugly mouthed individual. UUUGLY! You don't speak for the rest of us.
I thought you were talking about David's Mom and was about to congratulate you.
DM doesn't speak for the rest of us either.
Did someone fart or was that David's Mom yapping away with her nonsense again? It's hard to tell the difference.
It is also the same Doug Warner who has contributed to our incumbents' campaign funds. It is the same Doug Warner who has negotiated West Fayetteville Bypass right-of-way deals between homeowners and county officials.
Wow, Doug Warner really gets around. He's got his fingers in just about as many pies as Jack Smith. Sooner or later, these folks just might stick their fingers in the wrong pie.
Doug Warner might as well handle the by-pass paperwork as anyone--he doesn't even have to be for or against it (but he is for it).
Now as to wrong pies----he did his share of that didn't he with a certain bank and recreational facility? They thought they were doing what was best for us regardless of the legal, slightly gray areas. About battleship color gray!
I consider Doug one of the most principled lawyers around here.....there may not be over one or two.
Isn't this former DAPC-bank board member the same guy we just read about last week, for emailing false smear information about Board of Education candidate Bob Todd?
How does he retain his law license after yet another bout of unethical behavior? How does he shave in the morning? How do friends and family tolerate him?
Let's see, do I know any lawyer jokes that rhyme with 'Warner'...
Neither of them pay any local taxes.
We lose. :(
What have you done for the community?
I would like to refer you to www.sb4faycom.com and www.allenmccarty.net also www.drbobtodd.com
): researching.
He brought us the FAA facility and the National Weather Service to PTC. What did you do to help, citizen bob?
... Warner's role was in the federal government's approval of siting those operations in PTC, but expect it involved a lot more people than Mr. Warner.
And I suspect many were more ethical.
The PTC airport (Atlanta Regional now) was supported heavily by taxes collected by the old DAPC, and still is from what we have there now.
You might want to see who has interests at the airport also. Who owns planes and are pilots? Blind use of power by those who feel special is nothing new! Even Judges (many) are that way.
This is one of the reason much of the world sees many of the USA Capitalists as hypocrites and crooks. It has gone on since the 19th and 20th century robber Barons operated. Rockefeller's, Morgans, Firestone's, Duponts, etc., made such things famous.
... with these issues right now, but PTC airport may well be worth a look just a little later (you'll have to enlighten me a bit more on details).
Not sure capitalism is as much to blame for economic ills as CRONY capitalism: too many politician-enabled sweetheart deals that distort true capitalism. Example: Delta's stronghold on routes into & out of Hartsfield-Jackson, to the detriment of Southwest Airlines- whose rate competition under truer capitalism would benefit the public.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with regulated capitalism! We quit regulating it starting with Reagan! Crooks flourish under such.
.. regulating health insurance to preclude competition across state lines?
That's the kind interference that causes major distortions. Compare it to term life insurance, where open competition (across the country) and availability of comparative coverage & prices has DRASTICALLY reduced costs to consumers.
And you didn't address the political regulation to prohibit competitive airlines into Atlanta...
about Commissioner Smith. Jack Smith hasn't so much as "coughed" without our sleuth Brown checking it out. Steve Brown has uncovered the "truth" about Smith. Smith is narcissistic, my choice of word to describe him, and is only interested in his personal financial gain. There is no other explanation why he would remain on the Board of Bank of Georgia. A real "Man of Integrity" would explain himself, ask for forgiveness from his Fayette County constituents, and resign from either the commission or the Bank Board. He certainly should not have accepted the position in the first place. I suspect Smith is a RINO because he is acting like most leftists Democrats.
Fayette County Voters, regardless what you think about my remarks, please "GO VOTE". I'm a Vietnam Veteran and understand our Democratic Republic well. It is your duty to go vote.
You have to respect Brown for effectively defending his position with DDF, (details, documentation, and facts). I have yet to see anyone actually prove Steve Brown wrong in terms of presenting conflicting documentation. Generally, all they're doing is changing the subject, in retreat from their earlier comments.
Being a commissioner is a detailed job. Do you really want to retain the same crowd who has no documented defense of actions they've taken on major issues? Take a look at what the incumbents have done: the West Bypass, rapid rail (bringing crime into Fayette County), and exempting their appointed employees from written performance evaluations under the same standards as other County employees. Steve Brown and Allen McCarty are my choice. But BEFORE you make your next comment, positive or negative, at least do both candidates the courtesy of visiting their websites. Steve Brown's website address is www.sb4faycom.com, and Allen McCarty's is www.allenmccarty.com. I guarantee that by doing this, you will be making a much more informed candidate choice, whether you vote for Brown and McCarty, or the incumbents,
Above all, get out and vote in the July 20th primary election...because it's all over after that date...not because I told you to, but because of what you'll get if you don't.
Saw a couple of paragraphs on candidate Brown's website (sb4faycom.com) under the Vision page (point #9) where he discussed his stance on this issue that's important to many voters
My original thought on district voting was the citizens residing in our cities were not being adequately represented at the county level. The majority of the population in Fayette County lives in cities. There were several problems, chief amongst them city dwellers were being taxed by the county for services they were not receiving.
Even the incumbent, Jack Smith, agreed the problem existed, and did make one moderate change by making the necessary legislative adjustments so that Peachtree City residents no longer had to pay for county fire and EMS services which were not provided within the city limits. (Note: A reversal occurred when the County Commission approved the 2009 SPLOST referendum asking for countywide sales taxes to pay for new county fire and EMS infrastructure. The SPLOST failed handily.)
Today, with the advent of the Tea Party movement and cries for major change from "government as usual," which certainly perked my interests, we may end up with a more representative government anyway. Entrenched incumbents are being voted out all over the country.
I received a lot of negative feedback from local citizens related to district voting, so I dropped it. (Everyone wishes Smith and Maxwell would be so receptive of the overwhelming cries of the public against the West Fayetteville Bypass.)
My new solution for keeping entrenched special interests and their politicians out of the common good's way is to change the county's charter to include term limitations for all elected county commission posts. I believe term limitations will accomplish the same goal and be more universally accepted.
So I think a term limitation set at two terms would be just as effective and there would be no need to consider district voting. I have run this idea by a couple of hundred voters and they love the idea.
I have dropped district voting for good. Everybody likes the term-limits idea better and I think it will work.
Entrenched, "life-long" elected officials tend to become jaded and often develop relationships that lead to corrupt practices. Congress is the perfect example of just how bad things can get!
Term limits give the Board of Commissioners a built-in balance of continuity and turnover, allowing passive, ineffective, or troublesome commission members to be more easily rotated off.
Term limits also create a regular infusion of fresh ideas and new perspectives in the Board of Commissioners.
Term limits also create a regular awareness of the county's status and produces innovation through changing group dynamics.
The current Mayor of Peachtree City seems to be a great guy. He even comments to folks in the Citizen. Imagine that. Fayette County actually has a public official who will respond to all us lowly citizens. How wonderful! If I lived in Peachtree City I would certainly have voted for Mayor Haddix.
Now, if we can just elect Steve Brown commissioner, we will have two public officials who will respond to the lowly citizens.
Thank you Steve Brown, Allen McCarty and Mayor Don Haddix for living and working with the people. After all, aren't we "off the people, by the people and for the people?" Steve Brown, Allen McCarty and Mayor Don Haddix are REAL PEOPLE.
Okay, Fayette County, GO VOTE FOR TWO MORE REAL PEOPLE. BUT MAKE SURE YOU VOTE BEFORE OR ON JULY 20TH BECAUSE IF WE DON'T, WE'LL BE STUCK WITH PSEUDO-PEOPLE. Advance voting begain on July 12th -July 16th at the Tyrone and Peachtree City Libraries from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM daily. HURRY TO THE POLLS AND AVOID THE CROWDS. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, VOTE BY JULY 20TH. THIS IS A PRIMARY ELECTION AND IT WILL ALL BE DECIDED ON JULY 20TH. WE CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER'S GENERAL ELECTION. THAT WILL BE TOO LATE TO PROTECT OUR COUNTY FROM THE DEVELOPERS, MASS TRANSIT AND FUTURE SPLOST.
Steve - I hate to disagree with you since I've made up my mind to vote for you, but.... Your position on district voting is still a bit of a question with me. Have you unequivacolly dropped district voting or have you shelved district votiog in favor of term limits becoming a reality? If term limits does not happen, then what? Do you go back to endorsing district voting? I'm looking for a definitive answer on this subject.
That being addressed, let me say to the rest of the contributors here that I have lived in PTC 25 years now and Steve Brown was, by far and away, the best Mayor PTC had seen in the time before the present administration. I do feel that the current mayor and council are doing an outstanding job in these tryng times.
Check out the Vision page, then scroll down to point #9. Brown discusses his stance there.
Here is the letter to the Citizen published in 2008 where Brown states just how great district voting is and how neanderthal(and racist) anyone is who opposes it. Sounds like a press release for the NAACP and Democrats:
It appears we are going to see a few of the Smith bloggers throw out some innuendo at the eleventh hour. I made this point on district voting in at least five other blogs.
I put it below, but if you do want the West Fayetteville Bypass, sales tax increases and transit buses, you should stick with your incumbent.
My original thought on district voting was the citizens residing in our cities were not being adequately represented at the county level. The majority of the population in Fayette County lives in cities. There were several problems, chief amongst them city dwellers were being taxed by the county for services they were not receiving.
Even my opponent, the incumbent, agreed the problem existed, and did make one moderate change by making the necessary legislative adjustments so that Peachtree City residents no longer had to pay for county fire and EMS services which were not provided within the city limits. (Note: A reversal occurred when the County Commission approved the 2009 SPLOST referendum asking for countywide sales taxes to pay for new county fire and EMS infrastructure. The SPLOST failed handily.)

I believe term limitations will accomplish the same goal and be more universally accepted.
So I think a term limitation set at two terms would be just as effective and there would be no need to consider district voting. I have run this idea by a couple of hundred voters and they love the idea.
People of Fayette County, read this link, this is the words of the crazy man you want as a County Commissioner. I read this past vomit that Brown wrote. He is for District Voting, like all good snake oil sales men he wants you to watch the hand that says term limit and when that fails he will be right back at wanting to have District Voting. He has not come out and said no for a reason. This guy is a nut case.
That I asked him a question after this letter and in true Steve Brown fashion, if he can't support his position, he ignores the responses. Come on Steve, man up, answer some questions.
But here's where the current position is expressed- sb4faycom.com
See it on the Vision page, point #9.
It's Browns previous statements on District voting that made me vote against him.
We need to keep at large voting in place - the counties that adopted district voting are full of thugs and are dysfunctional.
I had an opportunity to meet Steve Brown. I was very favorably impressed with his knowledge of Fayette County issues. It is sad to see his competitors try and discredit him by manipulating the facts. When Mr. Brown found out about the impact of development on TDK, he did something about it. This guy is a straight shooter, and other people who actually know him that know me tell me the same thing. He's got my vote.

My wife and I recently moved to Fayetteville from MS. As a Certified Legal Video Specialist I always volunteer to videotape local events. Video displayed to a Jury needs no explanation. "The video speaks for itself", is the comment made by the Judge prior to the showing of the video evidence.
I videotaped the County Commission forum held at Christ's Church at Whitewater and posted the video on our website www.tbfaco.com for all to see. You may also view the one man forum of Dr. Bob Todd if you wish.
Having no previous experience regarding the County Commissioners my wife and I have carefully followed any and all comments made by the commission candidates. In addition, we viewed the commissioners forum multiple times. I am in the process of producing videotaped remarks made by Eric Maxwell and Jack Smith that will prove they were not forthright and honest. The video and supporting documents will be posted and I encourage the public to perform their own due diligence. Remember folks, "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." Matthew 12:36. I am ready to stand before God and give an account of my words written here today.

Stress played a large part in my answer to you. That is not an escuse, just an explanation. My post to you was very inappropriate and I truly apologize. Citizen Bob is quite right. Your question was very important and deserves an answer. I know, without a doubt, that Steve Brown would welcome the opportunity of responding to you personally. His email address is email@example.com I hope you understand and will forgive this somewhat addled human being.

One World Trade Center reached a major milestone Wednesday as the first section of its spire was hoisted into place.
It took about 45 minutes to make the sky-high journey.
"Nothing keeps New York down. That's what I was thinking as it was rising," said one onlooker.
"We're doing this for all the people that we lost," said one construction worker.
The 408-foot spire will eventually top off the skyscraper at 1,776 feet.
Nine sections of the spire arrived in New York by barge Tuesday after traveling about 1,700 hundred miles from Canada.
Each piece weighs 70 tons and can only be lifted into place if wind speeds at the construction site does not exceed 30 miles an hour.
Nine more sections are being trucked in from Canada and New Jersey.
"We're getting very close to the end of a long and wonderful journey. This represents to me an exclamation point on the end of a wonderful project," said Director of World Trade Center Construction Steve Plate.
Developers hope to add one piece of the spire every week, putting it on track for a spring completion.
When it's finished, One World Trade Center will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.

HILLTOP, W.Va. -- Two children were found dead Tuesday morning at a Fayette County mobile home park.
One of the children was 1 year old, and the other was 3 months old, Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler said Tuesday. The children were found unconscious and not breathing at a home in the Mountaineer Mobile Home Park in Hilltop at about 9 a.m., Kessler said.
Sheriff's deputies began performing CPR on the children until ambulances arrived. The children were taken to Plateau Medical Center in Oak Hill, where they were pronounced dead, despite extensive efforts to revive them, Kessler said.
FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. -- A man and a female juvenile were held at gunpoint Friday morning in Fayette County until police arrived.
A neighbor spotted Michael Clark, 22, of Lookout, and a juvenile female enter a house at 56 Foster Hill Road, according to Deputy R.V. Neal with the Fayette County Sheriff's Department.
The neighbor went inside his own house, grabbed a gun and told the pair to stay put until police arrived, Neal said. Police showed up 12 minutes later at 9:46 a.m. The house wasn't locked and the pair had entered through the front door, according to Neal.
LOOKOUT, W.Va. -- A Fayette County man is recovering in the hospital after police said he was hit with a steel bar several times in the head and torso Sunday night.
Someone called 911 dispatchers at 9:17 p.m. to report an altercation at a residence along U.S. 60 in Lookout, according to a news release from Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler.
Deputies arrived and found James Woodrow Settle III, 37, of Ansted, bleeding heavily from a head injury and "stumbling around" in the roadway, Kessler said.
Fayette County Deputy N.D. Hall pulled over Mark Anthony Gilliam, 38, of Beckley, who was driving a damaged blue Geo Tracker on Saturday morning.
As soon as Hall pulled Gilliam over, he noticed Gilliam trying to eat several of the pills in his vehicle.
Hall found numerous bottles of prescription medication in the vehicle as well as tools consistent with those that can be used for breaking and entering. The search resulted in the recovery of nearly 2,000 prescription drugs including Oxycodone, methadone, Xanax and Diazapam, estimated to have a street value of approximately $16,500.
FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. -- Two Fayette County residents were killed early Tuesday morning in a single-car crash.
Amantha Arbogast, 18, of Lookout, and Shawn Neal, 23, of Victor, were pronounced dead at the scene shortly after midnight, Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler said in a news release.
Kessler said Arbogast was driving a 1996 Chevrolet Corsica, with Neal as a passenger, along U.S. 19 near Milroy Grose Road.
OAK HILL, W.Va. -- An Oak Hill man was arrested Thursday for growing marijuana inside his home.
Jason Edward Davis, 33, was charged with a felony after deputies investigated an anonymous tip. They discovered Davis had three "grow rooms" with cultivation lamps and a ventilation system, said Detective Sgt. S.M. Gray, of the Fayette County Sheriff's Drug Unit, in a news release.
Deputies seized about 15 large plants and several smaller plants at various stages of cultivation.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A search for a domestic-violence suspect led Fayette County authorities to find illegal guns and explosives on Friday.
Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler said deputies went to the home of Willam Sorrells Jr., 45, of Danese, at about 1 a.m. Friday to look for Sorrells' son following a complaint about a domestic-violence incident. The son, Earnest Sorrells, 22, wasn't there, but Kessler said William Sorrells became combative with deputies and was arrested for obstructing a police officer.
When they checked Sorrells' criminal history, deputies discovered he had been convicted of two felonies in 1994. Deputies had allegedly noticed a semiautomatic rifle in the house, and Sorrells is prohibited from keeping weapons because he is a felon.
Deputy W.K. Willis was at his home in Mount Hope at about 9:30 p.m. when he heard someone trying to get into the house, said Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler. When he went to the door, a man tried to force his way into the house, Kessler said.
Willis identified himself as a sheriff's deputy and arrested Jermaine Charles Lawrence, 32, of Columbus, Ohio. The sheriff said Willis found a large amount of cocaine and marijuana and a "substantial" amount of cash on Lawrence.
"This individual is believed to be linked to street gang activity and drug trafficking offenses in Columbus, Ohio," Kessler said. "It is believed at this time that the suspect was going to a residence in Mount Hope to sell drugs and went to Deputy Willis' residence by mistake.
FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. -- A coal truck driver was arrested Thursday on charges of negligent homicide stemming from a fatal accident this summer, according to Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler.
Larry Wayne Evans, 26, of Fayetteville, was driving the coal truck on July 21 when it collided with a sport-utility vehicle on W.Va. 61 near Robson. The SUV's driver, Justin Davis, 19, of Oak Hill, eventually died of his injuries. A passenger in the SUV, Adam Sizemore, 19, of Oak Hill, was seriously injured in the wreck.
Although Evans was determined to be at fault in the incident, no charges were immediately filed, according to a news release from the Fayette County Sheriff's Department. But sheriff's Detective R.K. Perdue II investigated further after some people complained about Evans' actions just before and after the collision.
ROBSON, W.Va. -- A Fayette County woman is facing embezzlement charges after allegedly stealing money from the Collins Middle School football program.
In August, the football program began selling discount meal cards in an effort to raise funds for the team. At the end of the fundraiser, parent Paula Kay Lilly, 33, of Robson, turned in three checks to the school, instead of the cash collected during the fundraising event, according to the Fayette County Sheriff's Department.
When the school attempted to cash they checks, they were drawn against a closed checking account. Lilly allegedly refused to honor the checks and make them good, according to the Sheriff's Department.
FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. -- A Fayette County man was sent to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the foot after a domestic dispute among two brothers and their father turned violent.
Around 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Fayette County sheriff's deputies responded to a domestic dispute between a father and a son in the Willis Branch Road area of Hopewell. As deputies were en route to the fight, a second call came in saying one individual had armed himself with a shotgun and had shot another person, according to the Sheriff's Department.
Keith Scott Willis, 33, shot his brother, Mark G. Willis, in the foot with a shotgun loaded with birdshot, according to the Sheriff's Department. Both men are from Victor.
FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. -- A Fayette County couple was in jail Friday, charged with sexually abusing a 7-year-old.
According to Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler, 31-year-old William D. "Rusty" Propps and 26-year-old Starlett Lynn Propps, both of Falls View, were arrested Friday and charged in connection with a sexual assault that took place Wednesday.
William Propps was charged with one count of first-degree sexual assault and one count of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian or custodian. Starlett Propps was charged with gross child neglect creating the risk of bodily injury.
Sheriff Steve Kessler said deputies belive the Maremma sheepdog was shot inside a fenced-in yard sometime after midnight Monday. The dog appeared to have been shot with a large caliber weapon.
"I want to stress that this dog was inside of a fenced-in yard when it was shot and killed," Kessler said. "Anyone who would do something like this is cruel, cold-hearted and a coward to boot."
Anyone who knows anything about the shooting is asked to call 304-574-4216. Tips may also be left on the sheriff's department Web site, www.fayettesheriffwv.net.
FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. -- An Indiana man died Tuesday after apparently jumping off of the New River Gorge Bridge.
Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler said authorities got a call about an abandoned car on the bridge at about 5 a.m. Tuesday. Fayette County deputies, park rangers and members of the Fayetteville Fire Department conducted a search and found the body of a 27-year-old New Albany, Ind., man under the bridge.
Police are not yet releasing the man's name. The body was taken to Tyree's Funeral Home in Oak Hill pending an examination by the state medical examiner.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Fayette County authorities are looking into the death of a Greenbrier County man who was shot near Springdale on Monday.
Clarence Edward Stroud III, 50, of Rainelle was found Monday evening on property he owns in Fayette County, according to a press release issued by Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler.
Authorities believe Stroud had been hunting on the property when he was struck in the chest and face by what appeared to be the blasts of a shotgun.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- At 6 a.m. Wednesday, Jeremy Thomas Rinehart will be taken off a ventilator and die.
The 33-year-old Fayette County man was declared brain-dead by doctors at Raleigh General Hospital after going into convulsions en route to Southern Regional Jail on Saturday.
His family wants to know why this happened in police custody -- and just after leaving Plateau Medical Center in Oak Hill. An autopsy will be performed on him Wednesday, they said Tuesday.
FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. -- A 33-year-old Fayette County man was in jail Friday charged with dozens of counts of sexual abuse.
Christopher Michael Wilson, of Glen Jean, was arrested at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday and charged with 40 counts of sexual abuse by a parent or guardian, 40 counts of first-degree sexual abuse, 10 counts of using a minor to produce obscene matter and two counts of use of obscene matter to seduce a minor, according to a news release issued by Fayette County Sheriff Steve Kessler.
Fayette County deputies were informed of the alleged sexual abuse of three minor children on July 13, according to the news release. The abuse allegedly took place between October 2004 and June 2009. Those involved are now between the ages of 15 and 17.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Fayette County man surrendered to authorities early Thursday after a 4 1/2 hour standoff with police.
Fayette County Sheriff Steve W. Kessler said authorities are not yet releasing the name of the man, who is undergoing psychological evaluation following the incident in the Gatewood Road area. Fayette County sheriff's deputies say criminal charges are expected to be filed within the next few days.

Focus. Obsession. The first is what many of us strive for, the second, what we try to avoid. How wide is the dividing line between the two?
Lately, in my own yoga practice, distinct and different than my teaching, I have been exploring focus. If I had a nickel for every time I heard the word used in class, I would be a very wealthy woman. It's not only part of the language of yoga; it's a term that I hear more and more frequently in many different places.
My personal take on focus has been inward and outward at the same time. Focus can be where you lay your eyes or your heart or your mind. Or your breath. Or your anxiety. And so on.
In yoga, where we lay our eyes, our visual focus, is called Drishti. A definition of Drishti is below:
Drishti literally means "perception". Drishti is the specific point at which to look or focus the gaze when practicing yoga. Looking at the Drishti focuses the mind and brings the concentration inwards.
I've heard Drishti discussed, by David Swenson, an Ashtanga guru, as looking out into the infinite as a way to see into the most inner part of ourselves. That the gaze (or Drishti) looks infinitely out and infinitely in. This is me, paraphrasing what I have heard from David. These are not his words; they are my understanding of what he has said. Below is part of a poem by Kahlil Gibran that is on David's website. I feel that it gives me permission to give my understanding of what David said, regardless of the words that he actually spoke.
Coming back to focus, to Drishti, to infinitely out and in, to obsession. My Drishti has moved to the front of my practice lately. My breath feels reliable and available and while I continue to have it be the moving force behind my practice, I feel ready to let in other layers of my practice.
My Drishti becomes my entire universe. Whether it is a small blending of light and shadow on a leaf on a tree, or a smudge on the wall, or the smallest piece of the carpeting, I see it and feel it as my entire universe. Letting everything else fall aside, bringing the focus into the tiniest piece of something that speaks to my heart and brings my balance into place.
In those moments, my focus could be considered an obsession. Fierce determination with a soft heart. Letting all other pieces fall away, letting only what I am gazing at matter in any significant way.
Our focus can become our obsession. And there are times that it is appropriate and necessary for that to happen. I know that I need to be very precise about that depth of focus. I know that, for me, that level of focus is highly elevated; it's something that I am just starting to experience. Gazing at a tiny spot, feeling my breath, heart and mind know that it is the entire universe. Where everything else becomes, not blurry, but non-existent. The entire universe.
And I am starting to awaken to what is not the entire universe. When focus is softer and not even close to that which could be considered obsession.
I'll talk on Monday about how this relates to infertility. Join me before that with any comments that you might have. When have you been over the edge? Wanting information, perhaps? Results? Answers? When have you seen, absolutely known, that your focus has become an obsession? Please, join the conversation. I need more minds than mine to examine this.
A weekend thought for you:
Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth."
Say not, "I have found the path to the soul."
Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path."
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line; neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
Kahlil Gibran

Have you popped the hood and started the truck. You could have a seized pully, that would cause your screeching sound. Where was the shaking originating from? Engine? Rear end? Front end? Does that truck have rear drum brakes? I wonder if something happened to one of the rear brakes and it is dragging causing you feeling of no power. We need more information, There are so many things it could be with the information that was given

Manchester United turn down Crystal Palace's approach for Zaha
9:57am Tuesday 7th January 2014 in Crystal Palace FC By Tim Ashton
There is to be no hero's return to Selhurst Park for Wilfried Zaha.
The 21-year-old Manchester United winger is set for a loan move, but Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis revealed this morning that United have snubbed Palace's interest.
Zaha, who signed at Old Trafford at the end of last season, is being targeted by Newcastle United and Cardiff City.
Pulis said: "We've spoken to David Moyes about Zaha and I don't think he's too keen on him coming back to London.
"It's not a problem for us, he's a Manchester United player. We don't think it's a goer, although we were very keen if there was a possibility to take him on."
Pulis was more upbeat over the prospect of bringing other new names to south east London.
He said: "There are irons in other fires and we're working hard to bring other players in.
"It's what we need to do. I said when I came here that this window was important Palace. If we can have a good window then that gives us a better opportunity of staying up."

Venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs back to the heart.
Chronic venous insufficiency
Normally, valves in your deeper leg veins keep your blood flowing back toward the heart so it does not collect in one place. But the valves in varicose veins are either damaged or missing. This causes the veins to stay filled with blood, especially when you are standing.
Chronic venous insufficiency is a long-term condition. It occurs because a vein is partly blocked, or blood is leaking around the valves of the veins.
Risk factors for venous insufficiency include:
People with chronic venous insufficiency may also have:
Take the following steps to help manage venous insufficiency:
Surgery (varicose vein stripping) or other treatments for varicose veins may be recommended if you have:

The first collaboration from Julian Schakib (Programmer) and Scott Roberts (Artist) ! The awesome music you hear ingame was made by vibe-newgrounds! Be sure to check out his page! ;)
You are a cop chasing criminals in this coffee-break sized game full of action, pixels and hiadoken fire balls! That's right! Balls! Play through a quick-fire mission mode and test your reactions with the pretty long endless mode too! Compete for the highest score with your friends and stay for the upgrades!
(Endless mode is endless... as in never ending... so yeah... pretty long...)
NOTE: The medalbug should be fixed now!
To get the your medals, please restart the game and visit the main menu. Unfortunately the highscore-medals can't be regiven and TWO MEDALS AREN'T APPROVED YET! Sorry for that! :(
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars August 3, 2013
Good fun. Reminds me of plunking quarters into Spy Hunter. The music is just what I like in a game like this. Gets really fun once you start upgrading! I'm a bit fuzzy on how the focus works - whether you have a limited amount or you just use it once and the upgrade level dictates how long it lasts? ... I would have liked to have seen a bit more variety in the streets in each level, maybe some different road hazards. Maybe the baddies shooting at you? Great game, though! I had fun :D
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars January 27, 2013
Its a fun game (if you don't stare to long lol) but the medals aren't working for me I got maybe 2 or 3 then they stopped working.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars December 11, 2012
is it just me or are only half the medals working?
I couldnt get the mission 1&2 but could get the mission3 which is hilarious.
I also couldnt get the 10k score medal.
Other than that i think the game is good, a little challanging which is good, but maybe a diffculty setting would help for those who find this easy or who don't
Keep it up,
Rated 5 / 5 stars November 12, 2012
this is a great game. i love the art in the game. keep up the awesome work.
