School Bus Driver Files Charge against Teamster Union for Ignoring Her Rights Under Michigan's Right to Work Law
Teamster union officials stonewall worker's attempt to refrain from dues payments
Howell, MI (October 9, 2013) – A school bus driver has filed a state charge against a local Teamster union for violating her rights under Michigan's recently enacted public-sector Right to Work law.
With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, Pauline Beutler of Howell filed the state charge late last week with the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) in Detroit.
Beutler, who works as a bus driver for the Livingston Education Service Agency, informed the Teamster Local 214 union on September 9, 2013, that she was exercising her right under Michigan's Right to Work law to refrain from union dues payments after the union's monopoly bargaining agreement with her employer expired on June 30, 2013. Under Michigan's Right to Work law, contracts entered into after the law went into effect must respect workers' right to refrain from the payment of any union dues.

That depends on which boot loader you're using (lilo, grub?). I suspect

Personal Make Up Course | Learning the right technique to look natural
Personal make up course On the 7th of November, I conducted a personal make up course in Penang for 4 beautiful and energetic ladies. The theme for that day was "girl in white". The class was conducted at one of the ladies house and the house atmosphere was cozy and relaxing making the class so much fun. It is fortunate that all the 4 beautiful ladies are very supportive and sporting making the overall session interesting and full of laughter. We started the class at approximately 1.30pm. I started the personal make up course by teaching them how to apply the foundation than after using loose powder. This is to make sure that the overall make up will look natural without making it look heavy and thick. Personal make up course | Overall session lasted about 4 hours After teaching them how to applying the foundation correctly, we proceed with applying the eye shadow. Each of them took around 30 minutes to apply the eye shadow. After that, we proceed with the last step which is drawing the eye liner and applying the mascara for the eye section. Some of them find it a bit hard to apply due to their first time but after several attempts, they are able to do it correctly. The overall session lasted about 4 hours and we end the make up class at around 5.30pm. Since everybody is beautifully make up, we took the opportunity to have fun and take some pictures. I hope all of them are happy with the personal make up course and I wish them all the best in future.

Director and screenwriter Amr Salama [2] is calling for support from the film and journalism communities in rejection of the censoring his latest script, 'La Moakhza' ('No Offence'), originally named 'Thanya Eadady' ('Prep Two'), despite yielding to the censorship committee's demand for changes more than once.
Amr Salama [3] told Ahram's Arabic news website that the censorship committee had rejected the script before the revolution, and asked him to make a few changes to the lead character.
The character is a Coptic [4] child with an unusual appearance, who fears discrimination among his classmates, so decides to deny being a Copt and spends the school year as a Muslim until revealing the truth at the end, to positive and friendly reactions from his friends.
Salama says that he submitted the script again after the January 25 Revolution [5], but the committee rejected it and requested further edits.
The writer said that despite the committee's claim that they rejected the film for criticising the educational system in Egypt [6], the real reason is that the lead character is Coptic.

I bought this saw this week and have already put about three tanks of fuel through it. I badly needed to prune some pine and oak trees around my house. They were just getting to big. I was thinking of getting the 435 but thought to myself how often do I need a chainsaw?. I went to my local outdoor power equipment dealer and bought the 240 and saved quiet allot. The specs on both saw's are similar but I figured I really didn't need that little bit of extra power that the 435 has. I brought the 240 home mixed up some fresh 50:1 fuel. I used 93 octane since its what I run in all my small 2 cycles. I filled the oiler tank and had it running soon after. It started on the third pull out of the box. The idle was a little low but I adjusted it and now she idles fine. I let the saw warmup for a little and then went easy of the first couple of cuts to make sure everything was okay. After that I just went to town on all the over grown trees around my property. This saw has more than enough power for my needs. 5 inch branches are no problem for this saw. It just eats through everything. Also the 18inch bar gives me that little bit of extra reach that I needed. So two hours later and she was still running great. When I was finished I cleaned off the saw and took the top cover off to check the air filter. It was still almost perfectly clean. I guess the air injection feature really does work. I also like the vibration damping feature, It works very well. The saw hardly vibrates at all. Its also one of the quieter saw's I've owned. While I had the top cover off I decided to take the spark plug out and check the cylinder to see how it was inside. The bore was nice and shinny with good cross hatching marks. It still didn't look like it was even used. Over all I'd say I'm very happy with my purchase. As for the reviewers that say the clutch cover is cheap. Well the only thing I have to say to them is make sure the adjustment peg is aligned up with the hole in the bar before you try to tighten up the clutch cover and also only adjust the chain tension with the two nuts loose. If you try and adjust the chain tension with the bar nuts still tightened it will break the adjustment screw or the cover. As for the saw leaking chain oil, Guess what every gas chainsaw does this. It doesn't matter who makes it they all do it. I've had several different brands and everyone of them leaks chain oil when it sits. How do you fix this problem?. Drain the chain oil back in to the bottle, problem solved. Overall the build quality to me is just as good as the 435 but for a lower price. I'd say go for this saw if you know your going to use it for smaller jobs. Thanks Husqvarna for making affordable quality outdoor power equipment. Every peace of hand held equipment I own is Husqvarna and it has all held up very well.

This Product was an epic fail!
By Melinda
from Bulvrde
I purchased this product for residential use. There were no more than 2 full hours use on this chain saw and I had to take it in for service. Not only did I have to pay for them to find out why it wouldn't start, but the diagnosis was to overhaul the engine. This would cost more than I paid for the saw. Very disappointed. Will never purchase a Husqvarna product again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nice little saw
By TonyC
from Tewksbury
Truly have no idea why all the negative noise this saw is receiving. Purchased this saw for some light work. My son borrowed it and worked it hard all day both he and his friend.The saw performed exactly as Hasqvarna stated it would.This saw starts easily, run strong and performs. People read and follow the owners/operators Manual. If you do, trust me you will not be disappointed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Decent saw for the money
By mastertom
from Herrin
I see a great deal of bad feed back on this saw and several other Husqvarna saws. I own this saw as well as the 455 rancher along with several Stihl saws. I can't complain about any of them! You get what you pay for in either brand. These are both high end saw makers and they have different sizes and models to target different uses like any other competing pro saw maker. The 240 is not designed to rip through big hardwood or be used hard for 6-10 hour days! It's meant for casual use with breaks or cool down periods. It's a great saw for small jobs and it saves your hands from vibrations when limbing or cutting up small(2-6 in dia) trees and saplings. Also, the chain makes a HUGE difference! Get an aggressive chain. Run the fuel out after every use!!! Choke it off don't hit the e stop!!! Keep fuel stabilizers and system cleaners like startron and stabil in your gas can along with fresh gas!!! Another thing many people neglect is basic maintenance. Clean your filters or replace them!!! Saw dust can be larg chips down to microscopic dust that can ruin a carburetor if not cleaned out once and a while. Keeping chains sharp will cut down on the microscopic dust a lot! This said I just wanted to help clear up some confusion on the quality of the 240.
Small but good power
By 277me
from Statham
It is small but has good power for the lightness. I wanted one for what it does. Can't say about durability because I have not had it long enough. Makes the job easier because it does not give me out to use it.
Worked good first time
By Estaben
from Riversale
I purchased this saw as a replacement for a Craftsman from Sears. I did not use for about a year after I purchased. Worked great the first time then problems with starting ever since. I would have returned but warranty had expired. I had it repaired and possibly I used 40:1 instead of 50:1 not sure. I now only prime a couple time instead of the 6 given by the instructions. Overall I'm happy because I've had the saw several years, purchased in 2010 but I would rather purchase a heavier model that's for professional cutting. The pruning & hobby guidelines are not quite accurate with this saw.

The saw doesn't have starting problems you just have to know how to start a saw. I have run it for three months with no starting problems. The saw runs good but isn't the most powerful saw. It's a good value you get what you pay for. Saw cuts great

The South African Clothing and Textiles Workers Union (Sactwu) yesterday dismissed claims by employers in the sector that most union members were against strike action.
The union said early indications of its balloting exercise showed that the majority of its members were in favour of industrial action. Sactwu is balloting its 40,000 members around the country about strike action after declaring a dispute with employer representative body, the Apparel Manufacturers of SA (Amsa), early this year.
Strike action could in all likelihood hurt the industry further which has been showing modest signs of recovery. At least 50,000 jobs have been lost in the sector over the past 10 years.
The union rejected Amsa's wage offer for non-metro workers. The union is demanding a weekly wage rise of R45 for non-metro workers, or workers in rural areas, while Amsa is offering about R32. The union and the employer have thus far settled for a 6.5% increase for metro workers.
Employers also want to cut the wages of new workers by at least 20% and want the union to agree that new factories can employ all workers at 20% less than agreed in the wage talks.
"The facts are that out of the five factories for which the ballot has been counted and duly verified with both employer and union ballot observer present, a total of 814 workers have cast their secret votes.
"Out of this total 742, or 91%, of workers have voted in favour of a strike action," said Sactwu secretary-general Andre Kriel.
Voting results of the union's northern Natal branch in KwaZulu-Natal yesterday showed 93% of the workers were in favour of strike action with only 6% voting against it. Workers in 25 factories were balloted in this branch.
Last week, Amsa had said that the strike ballot showed that a "significant number of workers were voting against going on strike". Amsa director Johann Baard said in a statement at the weekend he was pleased workers were seemingly against strike action as the industry could not afford the costs and disruptions of employees not working.
"We have a unique window of opportunity where the fortunes of the garment industry could take a turn for the better provided we respond appropriately and timeously. We must now go forward together in a spirit of co-operation. The last thing we need is the divisive effect of a strike," Mr Baard said.
However, Mr Kriel said the suggestion that workers were not prepared to go on strike was "propagandist speculation".
"We caution against employers' propagandistic speculation about the results of ballots which have not yet been counted.
"Are they so desperate?"
The balloting started last Tuesday and the union has set a target to ballot 40,000 clothing workers in 500 factories, over a two-and-a half-week period.
Mr Baard also said there was a lot of work to do to put the industry on a sound footing.
"We need to look at some serious labour market anomalies and in particular a new wage model. Many of the factories, especially those in Newcastle, are not members of Amsa and they are paying lower wages than those agreed to in the National Bargaining Council. "

Hello, I am new and looking for help. I will start with the background story: When I was 11 my parents, brother, grandmother and I took a trip to Florida. My grandmother was very controlling and the trip overall was a disaster.
My husband has never been to Florida so we talked about going down sometime next year. My mother and father would also like to go back someday. My husband suggested we go together, the 4 of us. I thought that was a great idea and asked them if they would like to go.
She said she would ask my dad. Yesterday I emailed her a picture of the celebration of lights in Disney and asked if she had talked to my dad. She said she has thought of a way we can ALL go(mom, dad, brother, me and my hubby) but she won't say more until we are all together next month.
I do not want to go with my brother. I wanted this vacation to be the 4 of us. I never said invite my brother, I asked if they (mom and dad wanted to come with us. My brother and I are civil but I do not like him. He is rude, always serious and looks down on all of us. I don't want another trip that should be fun to be ruined because of him. I don't even know why she asked him because they are not close and he has little to do with them.
Would it be rude of me to tell her I don't want him there or to say if he is going then just my husband and I will go another time and they can go together with him? My mother and I close and my husband says I should just tell her I don't want him there. Hubby also does not like him and does not want him there.

BMW are no strangers to alternative fuels. The Bavarians are soon to bring out the i8 and i3, both among the more advanced cars in the EV/plug-in hybrid niche. BMW even experimented with hydrogen as a fuel for internal-combustion engines. But as disappointing sales of electric cars have led to many automakers to turn their attention to hydrogen fuel cells, BMW doesn't want to be late to the game this time. The German automaker has entered into an agreement with Toyota to gain access to the company's hydrogen technology, according to Green Car Reports. But for all of BMW's work in alternative fuels, this will mostly be Toyota's game.
Toyota recently debuted their FCV-R concept, a hydrogen fuel cell car which looks mostly like a Prius but with a concept-y front fascia. Past reports from Toyota have shown a reluctance to enter the battery electric car fray, choosing instead to focus on the more usable technology in hybrids and fuel cells. Already the makers of the world's bestselling (by a huge margin) hybrid, Toyota plans to bring out a production hydrogen car in 2015, and through its access to that same technology, BMW will bring out its own model the same year. There is no official word yet, but technology is likely to be the only thing shared between the two companies. BMW certainly hasn't shown any interest in captive imports since the Isetta became a fully BMW model in 1955. So don't expect to see a hydrogen-powered Toyota wearing BMW badges, but go ahead and take comfort in the fact that the science has come from an industry leader.

Referees need reminder to start minding the steps
Published 05/03/2014 | 02:30
Thankfully this won't appear as just sour grapes because I had the foresight to tweet about it a week earlier, but what is the story with forwards in hurling and football bearing down on goal and the number of steps permitted?
I could bore you with a long pained investigation into Kildare's inability to see out Sunday's game against Tyrone, delving deep into the psyche of the side that couldn't just hack down (ironically) a Tyrone forward in those last 20 seconds.
I could mention the scoring opportunities passed up and the sideline ball in the last minute kicked backwards into the surprised hands of a Tyrone forward. Instead I'm pointing out the special secret rule that applies only to forwards chasing a game – take as many steps as you need, the referee won't whistle.
The Kilkenny forwards benefited the previous week against Tipp, and on Sunday it was Tyrone. One is a coincidence, two is an early-season nothing-better-to-talk-about conspiracy.

Editor's note: We've designed the format of Muskegon's Capitol Workbook to periodically update readers on their elected state officials' legislative projects.
LANSING, MI -- A bill authored by state Sen. Goeff Hansen, R-Hart, and recently signed into law dictates that funds will continue to flow into the Senior Care Respite Funds.
Hansen's Senate Bill 642 was recently signed by the governor and is now Public Act 209 of 2013. The bill ensures that proceeds from unclaimed property held by BCBSM as a mutual disability insurer will continue to be directed to the Senior Care Respite Fund.
The Senior Care Respite Fund distributes money to Area Agencies on Aging across the state. The fund gives family caregivers a break in their care-giving work, in some cases extending the amount of time the family is able to provide care and avoiding nursing home admission. The fund pays to provide supervision, socialization and assistance to people who have cognitive or physical impairments while their caregivers are given time away.
Here's some other news from the capitol:
- State Rep. Collene Lamonte, D-Montague, points out that Gov. Rick Snyder's budget recommendation to restore the Homestead Property Tax Credit to families earning between $50,000–$60,000 per year, mirrors one of her own past legislative efforts. "I'm glad the governor has finally realized the harm his middle-class tax increases have inflicted on hard-working Michigan families," Lamonte said. Lamonte introduced House Bill 4565 to the Michigan House of Representatives last year. It was referred to the House Committee on Tax Policy, but Lamonte has since allowed the bill to be discharged from further consideration by the committee.
- A bill by state Rep. Jon Bumstead, R-Newaygo, creating a Michigan Wildlife Council was signed into law Dec. 31 by the governor. House Bill 4993 -- now Public Act 246 of 2013 -- will establish the Michigan Wildlife Management Public Education Fund and create the Michigan Wildlife Council. The nine-person council's main task will be to develop public information and media about the benefits of wildlife and wildlife management. In recent years, there has been much concern that non-sportsmen are not aware of the benefits of hunting and fishing and wildlife management, according to Bumstead's office.
- Hansen's Senate Bill 312 was recently signed into law and is now Public Act 210 of 2013. The law clarifies the requirements of Michigan Promise Zone scholarship programs throughout the state. As previously reported, the legislation will strengthen these scholarship programs, such as the Muskegon Promise Zone, and help them generate the money necessary to fund the scholarships and be used for eligible students toward a post-secondary education.
- As previously reported, Hansen recently introduced a bill to help law enforcement agencies recover more money to aid in the prosecution of certain crimes. The bill would expand the list of criminal offenses for which cost recovery may be ordered by the court. Fruitport Township Police Department approached Hansen with the idea for the bill because of retail fraud at the Lakes Mall and many businesses that surround the mall. Senate Bill 729 passed the Senate Feb. 5, and has since been referred to the House Criminal Justice Committee.

One of the best melodic death metal bands ever formed. They combine melodic death metal with power metal and a hint of metalcore for a spectacular, epic sound that is both brutal and beautiful. No matter the opinion you may have formed by reading this, Epicurean is one band that you should definitely check out as they will probably suprise you with their unique sound.
Guy1: Dude did you get the debut album by Epicurean?

Usher Michael Casertano has greeted parishioners at Seven Dolors Roman Catholic Church for more than 50 years.
Casertano, 82, a produce manager from Wyndmoor, has seen the parish in Springfield, Montgomery County, grow into a thriving church. He has also watched as parishioners gradually drifted away.
Within two years, Casertano may be welcoming worshipers to the same building, but one with a different name and identity. Seven Dolors may become a branch of St. Genevieve in Flourtown.

Today I learned that sometimes it's good to attempt the impossible.
Today I embarked on my latest workout inspired by the Monkey Bar Gym. I'm using their 60 day challenge workouts as a template, which are updated every day and is designed for "people who prefer to workout without the use of weights and get in great shape with nothing more than their bodyweight and Fitness Cables." That's me!
Today's workout introduced me to two exercises I had never done before: V-Ups and Lateral Jumps. I was supposed to alternate these exercises for 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off, and repeat for a total of 12 minutes.
Starting with Lateral Jumps, I used my YogaToes as a divider and attempted 40 seconds of jumping over the Toes from side to side. What a shock. With every jump I sent the Toes flying. My body teetered from side to side, landing randomly in zig-zagged patterns around the Toes, knocking them around the mat. No matter how hard I concentrated I couldn't do it. And I was knackered after 10 seconds. How would I ever manage 40?
I eventually settled for jumping in place, which was hard in itself but actually quite fun when I found the right music (Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" works well, as does The Clash's "I Fought the Law").
Something similar happened with the V-Ups and I ended up settling for more of a V Crunch. Even so, the jumping and the crunching was exhausting, and I can't remember the last time I felt so challenged.
But it was good. It reminded me that I have a long way to go, especially as far as "functional fitness" goes. But more than that, it reminded me how much more interesting exercise is when I mix up the routine and keep challenging myself. I think this must be one of the reasons I haven't written about the "fitter" side of SmarterFitter lately – I've been sticking to the same ol' swimming/walking/cycling routine for months. I'm probably bored!
But now I'm energized. I want to start jumping rope.
Diary for Tuesday, April 14 2009
Great swim this morning. 7am. Lane to myself. Swam 2000 meteres. First 1000, I alternated free style and backstroke every 25m. Then I did freestyle interval "sprints" for the next 750m. Finally, 50m of nice and easy freestyle for the cool down.
Bircher Muesli with Bananas and the Boss
RooiBOS(S), that is. I wasn't really feeling breakfast this morning. I seemed to be instantly full. But I'm loving my book. Empire of the Sun by J.G. Ballard.
Dal with Basmati Rice and Raw Veggies
Recipe: Red Lentil Dal with Panch Phoran (using swiss chard instead of cauliflower)
I made a double batch of this stuff last week and froze handy portions of it in the freezer. Dal is the perfect food to cook in bulk and freeze for easy meals. This is a 10 minute lunch, shorter if you have a microwave and the rice is ready to go. What's also nice about dal is that it goes well with so many vegetables, so a basic dal recipe can be nicely augmented with greens, cauliflower, carrots, peas, or in this case, swiss chard.
Dark Chocolate and Tea
Getting Hard
I have a long way to go.
40 seconds on, 20 seconds off, repeat for a total of 12 minutes alternating between:
1. Burpees
2. Cable Full Extensions
Rest as needed, then repeat same format as above alternating between:
1. Jumping in place
2. V Crunches
Rye Berry Gratin with Lentils and Purple Sprouting Broccoli

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is asking state and federal officials to investigate vandalism at a Manteca mosque as a hate crime.
Members of the Islamic Center of Manteca found graffiti across their front sign after a morning prayer service Monday.
Watch report: Mosque vandalism in Manteca considered a hate crime
Vandals also left hate graffiti in the parking lot entrance and strips of raw bacon across the parking lot.
"It said F-word Islam across the sign and on the arrow in the sidewalk," said mosque member Dr. Mohammad Elfarra. "The racism, the hate is based on lack of knowledge and ignorance."
Bacon, lard or anything from the pig is prohibited by the Bible and Koran, Elfarra added.
It is the second time the Manteca mosque has been struck by vandals.
Members of the mosque remember last year's graffiti clearly.
It read: "No Allah, only God."
"It's time to speak out about it. Hate crimes are taken seriously and I think the message has to go out," said mosque member Masood Cajee.

Ann Robertson and Bill Leumer: Rather than mobilizing members to defend their standard of living by putting up a fight, organized labor has relied exclusively on electing Democrats to office.
The New Reality for U.S. Labor Unions
Shamus Cooke: The fundamental difference between the powerful unions of yesterday and the passive unions of today is the unwillingness of today's unions to wage a real fight in the streets and workplaces.
Yeah, It's the Economy, Sherlock
Carl Bloice: Any member of Congress who thinks obstructionism is the way to win elections should know that in two years we will be sure that voters will know who stood in the way of jobs. We have an energized membership that's ready to fight, and we're going to give it everything we have.
Economy Recovery Depends Upon Your Vantage Point
Carl Bloice: Like the knee bone and the thigh bone, the foreclosure crisis is closely related to the jobs crisis. Last week the Obama administration cautioned the public not to expect any dramatic improvement in the jobless rate, largely because thousands of formerly "discouraged" jobless workers sense the situation is improving and have started back looking for work. As a result, some economists have suggested, the jobless rate may well go beyond the 9.7 percent where it stands now.
Health Care Battle Ends; War on Social Security Begins
Shamus Cooke: FL-CIO President Richard Trumka offers a splendid vision: "The best way to fix the deficit is to create 10 million jobs now — the number of jobs needed to close our jobs deficit. This will require large amounts of public investment in the short term, which should be paid for in future years by taxing Wall Street. In addition to creating jobs for Main Street this tax will also curb short-term speculation and other Wall Street abuses that caused this recession."
UNITE HERE Rejoins AFL-CIO
On the last day of the AFL-CIO convention, UNITE HERE President John Wilhelm announced that his union is leaving Change to Win and rejoining the AFL-CIO. The announcement, while not unexpected, will soon to followed by a similar decision by the Laborers Union, and represents a likely fatal blow to SEIU's efforts to create a competing labor Federation.

Maurice and Janeta Johnson said they were looking for a local church they could attend and bring their family to regularly.

The family moved to Warren from Cleveland a few years back and decided to check out the opening day of services at the new The Movement church on Sunday downtown.
"We enjoyed it. It wasn't the typical church service, like church as normal, we've been to. The whole worship experience, the atmosphere, everyone was so welcoming. You feel like no matter what you belong here. This is a place for you and your family. We'll be back next Sunday," Janeta Johnson said.
The church held its initial services Sunday at the corner of Elm Road and East Market Street - the home of the former Sunset Lounge, where a 25-year-old man was shot to death on New Year's Day.

Hope Deemer, 23, of Johnston, left, and Dustin Burton, 21, of Howland, oversee the Kid Movement area of The Movement church in Warren on Sunday.
The Sunset Lounge has been closed since early January, after the shooting. Building owner and liquor permit holder Joe Sankey Jr. voluntarily closed the bar a few days later as part of an agreement with the city, which had been trying to have the bar's liquor license renewal blocked.
The agreement also held off an effort by the city from seeking a nuisance action against the bar.
Church leaders said they are well aware of the controversy and a death that had occurred at the location. On Sunday, they also expressed concern over events in downtown Warren, including the December 2012 shootout in which Marco Dukes, 32, was killed and his cousin wounded. Early Saturday morning another man was gunned down at a gas station on West Market Street.
"We know all of that. But it's time for things to change around, for this place to represent life not death. This city needs change and we want to be part of that chance," The Movement's founding pastor, Doug Garasic, said Sunday.
Garasic said he couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of opening day. Dozens of people, mostly walk-ins, made their way to at least one of the two morning services, which were each met with standing-room only crowds.
"It's fantastic. We couldn't be more pleased or excited. It's great to be here, to be part of something positive, a good working taking place in this city," Garasic said.
Garasic grew up on York Avenue. He said he "gets the hardship, the struggle, the poverty" city residents face.
"But we're here to embrace the community, to be part of the solution, not to be the solution, but be part of it. There's a need in Warren and we're here to do what we can," he said.
Garasic said plans are for Sunday services to continue each week at 10 and 11:30 a.m.
The Movement, based at the Eastwood Mall in Niles, recently purchased the former club in an effort to expand its outreach efforts. The building has undergone a renovation and plans are to expand as the congregations grows, church leaders said.
Garasic said the church has received the full support of the city administration and its residents.
Attendees are greeted at the door by church leaders. The first area is the cafe, which offers coffee and refreshments. As the service begins the lights are dimmed and the band begins to lead worship in music. Garasic described the services as "worship experiences."
He said church leaders canvassed the area the past few weeks, knocking on doors and handing out invitations.
The Movement started two years ago in Vienna then moved to Eastwood Mall. The Warren location is known as the Warren Campus.
Debby Rodgers, who started attending the Niles site about a year ago, said she is willing to help in anyone she is needed.
"I'm so excited to be part of this, even in a very small way," she said. "To be part of something good and positive like this, even in a small way, it's amazing. It's time for Warren to be known for something more than it's been known for in the past.
''So many people think of Warren and you think of the violence and the death and crime. But it's more than that and it can be so much more. We just need to work together," Rodgers said.
Church leaders said that about 20 people moved from the Niles site to the Warren Campus as part of a church plant. They said they anticipate establishing other area sites as well.
"We know that there's a need in Warren. But Warren's not alone. We're just here to serve any way that we can," said Bert Amoline of Champion.
Laura Sylvester, 33 of Hubbard, said she doesn't know how anyone couldn't be excited about the transformation at the building.
"Warren needs to have something positive. It's truly amazing to see what God is doing here. I know it will continue and we will have just as many, if not many more, every Sunday. To see a place known for death and to see God bring life to it. God brings us from ashes to life. That's exactly what He's doing here. It's time."

Dauphin County Judge Richard Lewis today denied the defense motion that said the trial was tainted by a noontime visit to the state Capitol that some jurors made out of curiosity about some testimony they'd heard. Michael Palermo, the attorney for Veon's former in-district chief of staffer Annamarie Perretta-Rosepink, had argued that the guilty verdicts should be set aside because of the unauthorized tour.
In a seven-page order and opinion, Lewis held that the information presented by Palermo showed no indication that the visit had given jurors "any additional material information" besides what was presented in court, nor that it affected the outcome of their deliberations in any way.
Attorneys for Veon and Brett Cott, the other aide hit with convictions in the case centering on the misuse of state funds and resources for political purposes, joined in the Perretta-Rosepink motion.
Lewis' decision on the mistrial motion does not preclude further defense appeals in the case, and they are in fact expected.
The three defendants are scheduled to be sentenced on May 21.
