The more I follow the online discussions ... the more I follow the debates and disagreements in the Church about administrative unity, or the concerns expressed about the moral or personal or administrative or leadership failings of the bishops or the clergy, the more I become convinced that whatever might be the truth of these concerns, ALL of this is simply a distraction. No, its more than that. Its a justification, an excuse, for not helping each other and those outside the Church fall in love with Jesus Christ. How easy it is to talk about everything, but about Jesus hardly at all.

Comments about Justin Boots Justin Men's Stampede Roper Western Boots:
I have two pairs of the Justin Stampede Ropers. I chose the Stampede ropers over the classic Bay Apache ropers because the Stampede ropers have the rubber oil-resistant sole versus the classic Bay Apache leather soles. These boots hold up well and are pretty much ready for wear out of the box. One days' wearing and they feel broken in. They are comfortable and do well in wet conditions. They only complaint (and reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is the "EE" width still seems a tad narrow for my foot. I wear size 12 EE and until broken in these are a slight bit tight on the sides of my foot.
- Sizing:
- Feels true to size
- Width:
- Feels too narrow

Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 15mm/T2.9 Micro 4/3 Mount
- Product Details
Rental Includes:
The Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 15mm/T2.9 Cine Lens (MFT Mount) combines the sharp resolution, high contrast, low distortion and perfect color rendition of Zeiss lenses with the cinematic features of professional video lenses. The huge bonus is that the unique and precise 14 blade iris aperture is consistently round and symmetrical. This means you can smoothly move from a low T-stop to a high T-stop while shooting video without the flicker you will get from regular lenses.
The CP.2 15 is designed to shoot wide angles in tight spaces. It's a rectilinear flat field lens that does extremely well in the distortion area, minimizing it to almost non-existence and producing razor-sharpness to the very edges of a frame, even on full frame sensor cameras.
Zeiss lenses are some of the most strong and durable lenses in the market. The smooth and very detailed focus ring has a longer rotation which makes for smooth follow focusing while shooting. The manual focus ring is bracketed enabling you to connect this lens to Red Rock follow focus systems without the need of follow focus rings.
This lens works fine with full frame digital sensors.

Transpacific Field of Dreams: Baseball's impact on globalization and diplomacy
Phi Beta Delta's International Forum welcomes Michigan State University history professor Sayuri Guthrie-Shimizu to discuss United States foreign policy from a unique perspective — baseball. Her presentation, "Transpacific Field of Dreams," shines a light on globalization by exploring the history of baseball in Japan from its introduction by American businessmen more than 100 years ago to today's World Baseball Classic.
Guthrie-Shimizu will show how baseball carried American values to Japan and how, by the mid-twentieth century, the sport had become emblematic of Japan's modernization and America's growing influence in the Pacific world. Guthrie-Shimizu contends that baseball provides unique insight into U.S. - Japanese relations during times of war and peace and, in fact, is central to understanding postwar reconciliation. In telling this often surprising history, she shines a light on globalization's unlikely, and at times accidental, participants.
Sayuri Guthrie-Shimizu is author of Transpacific Field of Dreams (University of North Carolina Press, 2012) and Creating People of Plenty: The United States and Japan's Economic Alternatives, 1950-1960 (Kent State University Press, 2001). Guthrie-Shimizu was honored by Major League Baseball when Transpacific Field of Dreams was introduced at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan in conjunction with Major League Baseball's March 2012 season openers in Tokyo.

Interested in attending college while still in high school? PSEO is the answer!
Kent State at Ashtabula's Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Program is designed to provide qualified high school students with access to college level course work. College courses taken under the PSEO Program may also fulfill high school graduation requirements, if approved by the student's local school district.
Fall 2013 Applications are due June 1, 2013. Applications are available online.
Participation in the PSEO Program at Kent State Ashtabula is not intended to replace course work available at the high school, but rather to enhance the educational opportunities available to students while in high school.
In general, students seeking admission must demonstrate their academic preparation for the challenge of college study. Ideally applicants to the PSEO Program should have a cumulative high school grade point average of 3.0 or higher, a minimum ACT composite score of 23 and COMPASS scores that indicate college readiness. Students must also have a B average in the subject area in which they desire to enroll at the University.
Students who do not meet these criteria are eligible to apply for admission and will be evaluated for acceptance to the PSEO Program based on their high school curriculum, cumulative high school grade point average, ACT scores, and letters of recommendation.
Students must also participate in Kent State at Ashtabula's Post-Secondary Assessment and Information Session (PAIS) where the students will complete Kent State's COMPASS placement assessment in composition, mathematics and reading. Following the PAIS Program, a required personal interview will be scheduled. Students applying to the PSEO program will not have the option to re-take the COMPASS assessment.
For more information or to request an application packet, please call (440) 964-3322.

WASHINGTON — When Burma's Zin Mar Aung was placed in solitary confinement for trying to organize students in 1999, Bill Clinton was president of the United States.
When she was released, Barack Obama was in the Oval Office.
Zin Mar Aung says she had never heard of George W. Bush or his wife, Laura, who used her own bully pulpit to push for liberation of Burma's most famous political prisoner, democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi, then under house arrest.
Suu Kyi is well-known to many now because of the largely unacknowledged work of the Bushes, as well as Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Since her release, Suu Kyi has risen to public office, accepted her Nobel Peace Prize and been the subject of a movie ("The Lady").
Less well-known are four rising female leaders with whom I met, including Zin Mar Aung, who are visiting the U.S. this month for leadership training. Their delegation is sponsored by Goldman Sachs' "10,000 Women" program, in partnership with the George W. Bush Institute, the McCain Institute and the Meridian International Center.
What does all this mean?
Start here: Imagine living under a military dictatorship where free speech is punishable by incarceration, torture or worse. Imagine sitting in an 8-by-8-foot cell alone for 11 years with nothing but a small water jug, a "sink" for waste, and a 15-minute daily break for a cold bath in a communal tub. Throw in a lack of any amenities (shoes) or even necessities, such as sanitary napkins.
This was Zin Mar Aung's life for 11 years. How did she hang on to her sanity, I asked? She says she accepted that her existence consisted of those 64 square feet and wishing otherwise would do her no good. Meditate on that for a few seconds, while keeping in mind that her crime was publicly reading and distributing a collection of revolutionary poems she and her fellow students had written. Zin Mar Aung says she focused on those poems to get her through more than 4,000 days.
Then one day, she was free.
What does one do next? How does one navigate freedom in a nation relatively new to democratic reform and find the voice to speak when one has been silenced? Second and third thoughts further crowd the spirit in a country where, despite admiration for The Lady (as everyone refers to Suu Kyi), women are not universally embraced in the political process.
It takes courage to put one foot in front of the other, much less to become an activist, as Zin Mar Aung and her colleagues have done. For her part, Zin Mar Aung picked up where she left off, earning a degree in botany, and now pursuing an international law degree. In the meantime, she established the Yangon School of Political Science and co-founded Rainfall, an organization focused on women's empowerment.
The accomplishments of the four also include helping political prisoners, providing education and training to underserved girls and young women vulnerable to trafficking, and advocating for victims of domestic violence. The name of one of the organizations they help suggests the urgency and breadth of their challenges: "Stop Sexual Harassment on the Bus Now."
The three other women are: HLA HLA Yee, a mother, attorney and former political prisoner who counsels marginalized women and provides paralegal training in orphanages and elsewhere; Shunn Lei Swe Yee, who mobilizes young people to work for a more civil society; and Ma Nilar OO, who worked for the International Red Cross for 18 years, advocated for political prisoners and personally provided some of those aforementioned necessities to Zin Mar Aung and HLA HLA Yee when they were imprisoned. More recently, she has been training and finding jobs for at-risk girls and young women (ages 13 to 35). She recently lost two teens from her program when their parents sold them each for $100. They were of high value, apparently, because they were virgins, the sundering of whom is crudely termed in Burma "to open a new envelope."
Some of these struggles sound familiar, even in our relatively advanced democracy. What is different for these women is the absence of democratic traditions in their country and a lack of familiarity with the instruments of freedom. Everything – from how to build a feminist movement to how to create a political party – has to be invented from scratch. What is message? What is public opinion? How does a person get elected?
Imagine that. And then meditate about – or pray for – the safety and success of these four brave women.

Anthony Hodge ripped the nets for 24 points as did Trevor Stark who finished with 17 tallies. Chris Cassidy earned team-high scoring honors with 18 points and 8 rebounds to lead Elmira (0-8) in defeat.
Senior Dan McFarland chipped in 10 points, going four of foul from the foul line for Hilbert and Jerame Owens grabbed eight rebounds before he stepped off the floor due to fouls late in the game. Elmira's Josh Keys scored all his points from long distance (4 of 5) and teammate Neil Randolph gave the Soaring Eagles 14 points.
Hilbert grabbed the first lead, but they played catch-up the rest of the half. The Soaring Eagles shot 58.3% from the floor (five of eight behind the arc) to maintain control of the game the first twenty minutes. Hilbert tied the game on three occasions, but they never jumped back on top before the break. Hilbert's Hodge shot six of seven from the floor and was one of one at the charity stripe to lead all scorers with 14 points.
Stark opened the second period with a jump shot which was followed by an Owens layup to give Hilbert their second lead of the game (36-35) at 17:43. Points were flying on the score board in spurts for each team the rest of the game. When one team gained momentum, the other team came up with defensive stops while they found their offensive groove at the other end of the floor. Isaac Bushey's {photo} seven points and one steal led one Hilbert run that started at 9:06; Hodge and Stark continued their late-game scoring, and Jordan Kumro came through and did what was expected of him late. He rebounded and got to the foul line making both shots which held on the Elmira come back.
Hilbert was impressive offensively. Though they finished the game shooing 44.2%, they took care of the ball. The Hawks were credited with only 3 (three) turnovers the entire 40-minutes. They held the rebound advantage (29-27), shot 21 of 26 from the charity stripe and finished with seven steals.
Elmira continued to shoot the ball well into the second half, finishing with nine three-point baskets and 52.3% field goals. The Soaring Eagles were charged with 13 turnovers and only 1 steal.
The Hawks now take a few weeks off to rest and recharge as they prepare for the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference slate of the schedule which begins the weekend of January 5. The men (3-1, AMCC) will travel to Cresson (PA) to face Mount Aloysius College (3-1) the 5th at 5pm before they square off against La Roche College (3-1) the next afternoon in Pittsburgh, PA.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Not a Christmas item This is in the holiday section, but it is not marked down! January 1, 2011
A little bling for your vino. A fun way to distinguish your wine glass at a gathering. Can be used year-round as the design is not specific to any particular holiday or event. Great hostess gift, combined with a bottle of your favorite wine. Would be even better if they were dishwasher-safe so they could be left on the glasses all the time. November 30, 2010

HOLT — First Baptist Church of Holt's youth group will get a financial boost from Oliver's Nursery, which will donate all proceeds from its December Christmas tree and wreath sales.
Proceeds will benefit an upcoming youth Bible study at Camp Whispering Pines in Citronelle, Ala., according to Youth Minister Eric Reid.
"Along with everything else, prices are going up," Reid said. "It's $195 per student for the week — which is actually one of the lower costing camps." Some Bible camps cost up to $400 per participant, he said.
Funds would help families who can't cover the costs, event organizers said, adding they appreciate the assistance.
"I can't say enough for what (the nursery) has done for us," Reid said. "They have been a blessing."
"We like to give back to the community," nursery manager Jennifer Oliver said.
Youth group members will volunteer at the nursery's Country Christmas event, which offers a lighted Christmas display and family-friendly activities. The celebration runs 4-8 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays this month, through Dec. 22.
Residents can stop by and see the Christmas lights and a Christmas movie. While at the nursery, kids can drop off letters to Santa.
For $6, kids can have an armband, which covers unlimited playtime in a snow pit and haystack.
Parents and kids can take a nighttime hayride around the nursery for $2; kids 3 and under ride free.
The armband also allows kids to make Christmas ornaments and sand art and have their faces painted. Individual prices for these events are also available.
Food and drinks, including homemade chili, hotdogs and funnel cakes, will be available.

Anybody watchin? Just caught it mid last fight
Anybody watchin? Just caught it mid last fight
Wow Bjorn must feel stupid right now lol.
Great card so far. Crazy that there is no discussion on this. Lavar Johnson and Cheik Congo both fighting. The Spartan guy looks pretty good.
I guess people only watch UFC these days?
Damn, Johnson fell like a tree lol.
I was hoping to see Kongo Johnson in the final.
That Lavar KO was crazy. Can't believe it happened so fast. I love how he woke up and started swinging at the ref before he even got back to his feet.
GodBeer, got to like him just based on his name
I always try to watch it but lately I catch it late. Didn't expect to see lavar lose, especially like that.

Lyndon B. Johnson
Francis Miller/Time Life Pictures -- Getty Images
Lyndon B. Johnson 1908 -1973
Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States, declared that he wanted to be "the President who helped the poor to find their own way," the "President who helped to end hatred among his fellow men and who promoted love among the peoples of all races, all regions and all parties." During his administration he would sign into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the most comprehensive civil rights legislation since Reconstruction, and his Great Society reforms would lead to lasting changes in education, medical care for the elderly, and social welfare.
The Vietnam War, however, would sink Johnson's presidency. Despite early doubts about the war, he would commit more and more troops to that conflict - which would eventually claim the lives of 58,000 Americans and three million Vietnamese. As the war ground on, with no end in sight, Johnson found himself increasingly under fire from both hawks and doves, the right and the left. On March 31, 1968, he announced he would not run for re-election.
Highlights From the Archives
Word for Word/The Johnson Tapes; Eavesdropping on the Brokering Of Presidential Power
''I DO understand power, whatever else may be said about me,'' Lyndon B. Johnson once explained. ''I know where to look for it, and how to use it.'' As the Senate majority leader, Johnson consummately brokered power as a legislator (''Master of the Senate,'' the latest installment in Robert A. Caro's multi-volume biography, is being published this month). Later, as president, Johnson perfected his use of power and also found its exercise more problematic.April 21, 2002 washingtonNews
Critic of War in Vietnam Is Now Praising Johnson
For all his achievements, Lyndon B. Johnson is still remembered mainly as the president who presided over the wretched war in Vietnam, the most loathed in American history. But this week John Kenneth Galbraith, the eminent economist, came to Texas to seek, as he put it, ''substantial modification'' of the historical record -- ''a more modest, I trust more informed,'' view of Johnson's five years in the White House.November 27, 1999 usNews
In All Recorded History . . .
I was hunched over a transcribing machine, my foot on the pedal, listening to the first of the tapes Lyndon Johnson secretly made of 10,000 of his private conversations. Before deciding to create a book based on the tapes, I wanted to make sure they did not simply show Johnson posturing for the microphone, but instead captured all facets of his daily private and public life -- heroic and otherwise.November 9, 1997 opinionOp-Ed
L.B.J.'s Great Society
''This country,'' President Lyndon Johnson once said, ''is rich enough to do anything it has the guts to do and the vision to do and the will to do.'' You'd never catch Ronald Reagan or George Bush expressing that kind of confidence in America, despite the patriotism they so fulsomely extol.May 7, 1990 opinionOp-Ed
20 Years Later, the Great Society Flourishes
Twenty years ago, these were facts of American life: Half of all Americans over 65 had no medical insurance, and a third of the aged lived in poverty. More than 90 percent of the black adults in many Southern counties were not registered to vote. Nationwide, at all levels of government, there were only a couple hundred black elected officials. Today most Americans would find those situations unacceptable, and indeed they have been reversed, in large part because of laws enacted in 1965, the high-water mark of Lyndon B. Johnson's drive for what he called the Great Society.April 17, 1985 nytfrontpageNews

You poison one little French farmer and all hell breaks loose. Giant chemical-maker Monsanto yesterday announced it plans to appeal a Monday ruling that one of its herbicides in 2004 poisoned French farmer Paul Francois, who says inhaling a Monsanto weedkiller led to "memory loss, headaches and stammering"(coincidentally, these are the same symptoms of the accidental hangover™).
In addition to the French farmer being pissed enough at the company for giving him a hangover when he was trying to work his farmland, there are about a million other people officially declaring themselves as against Monsanto via "Millions Against Monsanto," an organic consumers association that campaigns for "health, justice, sustainability, peace and democracy." If you accept the possibility of Monsanto obstructing even a majority of these five concepts, it's easy to believe the company has enemies from a lot of different backgrounds.
That's why Monday's ruling by a French court finding Monsanto legally responsible for poisoning Francois and ordering it to compensate him has enlivened a bunch of angry activists.
Millions Against
Monsanto offers a wealth of content documenting the agricultural
biotechnology corporation's government ties, tendencies to take
small dairies to court, refusal to compensate veterans for Agent
Orange and getting their nasty chemicals in normal people's water
supplies. (Wikipedia is hilariously filled with references to things like dumping toxic waste in the UK, Indonesian bribing convictions and fines for false advertising.) Even 'ol boy Obama has gotten caught up in the mix with
charts like this one circulating on Facebook:
The latest news out of Millions Against Monsanto is the moving forward of a California ballot initiative to require mandatory GMO labeling that polls show has 80 percent support. According to the site:
"A win for the California Initiative would be a huge blow to biotech and a huge victory for food activists. Monsanto and their minions have billions invested in GMOs and they are willing to spend millions to defeat this initiative. California is the 8th largest economy in the world. Labeling laws in CA will affect packaging and ingredient decisions nation-wide. The bill has been carefully written to ensure that it will not increase costs to consumers or producers."
Back in France, our
friendly farmer will have to wait a while for whatever compensation
poisoning amounts to, as Monsanto says it will appeal the ruling.
According to The Washington Post: Monsanto spokesman Tom Helscher
says the company does not think there is "sufficient data" to
demonstrate a link between the use of Lasso herbicide and the
symptoms Francois reported.
"We do not agree any injury was accidentally caused nor did the company intentionally permit injury," Helscher said. "Lasso herbicide was ... successfully used by farmers on millions of hectares around the world."
Occupy D.C. protesters built some type of structure in a park Saturday night, and police on Sunday notified them that they didn't have a permit and took it down, arresting dozens in the process. It was a pretty nice structure, though.
Nobody stood up for fracking in today's City Council committee meeting that saw dozens of people urge council to pass an ordinance banning injection wells within Cincinnati.
All members of the Strategic Growth Committee voted in favor of the proposed ordinance, with the exception of Councilman Chris Seelbach, who was recovering after allegedly being assaulted in downtown Monday night.
If approved, the ordinance would prohibit injections wells — which inject wastewater underground — from being allowed within city limits. It now goes before the full council.
The practice is commonly associated with hydraulic fracturing – or "fracking" — which uses chemical-laced water to drill for oil and gas. Fracking fluid injected underground has been tied to a dozen earthquakes in northeastern Ohio.
A 2004 Ohio law puts regulation of oil and gas drilling under the state's purview, preventing municipalities from regulating the drilling.
The wording of the proposed Cincinnati ordinance doesn't mention oil or gas drilling, which proponents say they hope will keep it from clashing with the state law if it passes.
Ohio Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman Heidi Hetzel-Evans tells CityBeat that injection wells also fall under ODNR's purview.
She says she isn't sure if the proposed Cincinnati ordinance would conflict with the state law.
"It's very hard for ODNR to speculate on what might happen," she says, adding that there aren't any injection wells or applications for them in the Cincinnati area. "This may not be an issue that's ever tested."
That didn't stop the dozens of people who spoke in favor of the ordinance at the committee meeting from erupting into applause once the ordinance was approved.
Barbara Wolf, a documentarian who has made a video about Cincinnati's Water Works, said that the city has some of the cleanest water in the world, and chemicals from hydraulic fracturing could jeopardize that.
"We are studied by other countries," Wolf said. "If it (fracking fluid) goes into the Ohio River, we don't know what the chemicals are. It's very hard to clean up chemicals if you don't know what they are. And that's one of the things we do really well: clean up chemicals."
Local subscribers to Time Warner and Insight cable woke up today without access to WLWT-TV (Channel 5) after the station and companies failed to reach a new retransmission agreement. Instead, the cable companies offered Channel 2 from NBC affiliate Terre Haute, Ind. The Enquirer is all over the story, reporting that Todd Dykes and Lisa Cooney in the morning were replaced by someone named Dada Winklepleck in Wabash Valley, Ind. Don't worry: 30 Rock will still be on your new local Indiana station. Visit mywabashvalley.com for further details about additional programming.

I have given much thought to Richard Stoecker's letter ("Vote for Mormon against beliefs," June 15). I am also a Christian and differ with the Mormon religion.
But I think any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.
Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney's opponent, Barack Hussein Obama — a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.
I hope all Christians give their vote prayerful consideration because voting is a sacred privilege and a serious responsibility.

The Enquirer over the weekend checked in with another of its "in-depth" pieces, this one detailing the huge amounts of money energy companies will make once they're allowed to treat northeastern Ohio's land like they do Texas. The story accurately described the fracking process as "controversial," though it took the liberty of describing Carroll County as an "early winner" because 75 to 95 percent of its land is under lease to an oil or gas company. Here's a link to the weird slideshow-style presentation. And here's a sidebar on the issues surrounding fracking, which includes the following regarding the industry's oversight:
Fracking was exempted from the federal Safe Drinking Water Act under the Bush Administration, so it now falls under state jurisdiction. In Ohio, the Department of Natural Resources issues permits for all oil and gas wells, including fracking wells. The department also inspects the drilling of all wells in the state.

A Cincinnati police officer with a long record of wrecking police vehicles was arrested on Monday and charged with assaulting a woman who he's already been charged with assaulting once before. The Enquirer detailed the disciplinary history of officer Kevin Jones, who was also charged with two counts of assault from an incident that occurred May 19.
Politico says President Obama's recent announcement of a new immigration policy that allows many young immigrants who have never been in trouble with the law to stay in the country, and even travel across its borders, was a really smart move. The policy is not permanent, which leaves Mitt Romney to answer the question of whether or not he would repeal it if elected. The idea is reportedly similar to legislation that Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a potential Romney running mate, has been considering introducing.
"This is a stroke of political genius," Bruce Morrison told me. A former Democratic congressman from Connecticut, Morrison was chairman of the House Immigration Subcommittee, a member of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform and House author of the Immigration Act of 1990. He's now an immigration attorney and lobbies on a wide variety of immigration issues.
"Obama has taken Rubio's idea and put it into action," Morrison said. "He has given these people a work permit, the ability to remain in this country, but no permanent status." Their legal status can be terminated at any time. "But it won't be terminated by Obama," Morrison said.

It was "Rich People Voice Their Concerns Night" at city councils across town last night, as proponents of the $1 sale of Music Hall packed Cincinnati City Council chambers even though the proposed lease deal wasn't on the agenda. Mayor Mark Mallory insisted that any middle ground that will allow the nonprofit Music Hall Revitalization Co. to renovate the building will require that the city retain ownership.
Across town (and about 10 miles northeast toward the area with mass trees), Madeira City Council shot down a plan to develop a luxury apartment complex on Camargo Road. Council voted 6-1 to scrap the plan for a 184-unit complex after residents who voiced concern said the complex would be "too dense" and take away from the city's single-family character. Word on the street is that the Council majority didn't want scumbag renters like this guy to be able to move into the neighborhood and start playing music really loud out of their car stereos.
Cincinnati City Council yesterday pretty much canceled its plans to build an atrium at City Hall. Six council members approved a motion asking administrators to shut it down, and City Manager Milton Dohoney says he'll abide by it even though he technically doesn't have to because the funding was approved in a spending ordinance.
Council also voted yesterday to keep the property tax rate pretty much the same next year despite a projected deficit.
