I have to wonder how / when / if ……………anything will be reported by LNP????????????? Keep up the great work…………your’s is a voice that needs to be heard / read by everyone.

This is incredible!

Sounds like a clear violation of (Christiaan Hart Nibbrig’s and Ron Harper, Jr.’s) constitutional rights to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly. They should immediately file a complaint with the City police.

Your recent piece on the woes at Wachovia and its potential implications on the Convention Center bonds helps, in my opinion, spread one of the biggest myths about this project. Dick and Molly, and many others, lobbied hard to have debt service prioritized first. I have always contended that it makes no difference and that […]

….The current board and executive director of the convention center are doing the best they possibly can under the circumstances. We have no reason to give them grief for what their predecessors did. Their hands are tied by the same onerous agreements we picked apart so often… Let’s reserve our wrath for the REAL criminals […]

Does watching everyone, everywhere all the time with cameras deter crime, or at least reveal it before criminals can escalate or escape? Obviously. There’s absolutely no argument that could say otherwise. But, does that inherently make it the right thing to do? Is blanket surveillance of the population, in a free society, the right way […]

It is not uncommon for a venue to have open beam ceilings, presuming they and the ceiling are painted black. (Long Beach CC for instance.) With show lighting, the ceiling disappears. This assumes that the beams are load-bearing to sustain the weight of the trusses for the show lighting. The ideal is to have catwalks […]

Whoever wrote the watchdog item regarding the “Second Chances” halfway house for sex offenders needs to do a little honest research into the lifelong effects (all of them negative) of sexual assault. There are many therapists, faith-based and community-based programs, and victims themselves who I am certain would be glad to provide true, factual information, […]

My heart and soul do not see daylight at the end of this tunnel due to all the infrastructure problems now and in the near future for the city. The mention of a Trolley is absolutely crazy when we need parking closer to the convention center. We are a lazy society, nobody wants to walk […]

I attended the service for Jack Craver today and learned so many wonderful things about the life of this outstanding individual. The man could sing! He could do the N.Y. Times Sunday crossword puzzle in under a half hour when challenged, and so many more delightful aspects. Several members of his family spoke of a […]

The basic design of the convention hall barn roof guarantees terrible acoustics and lighting, with its exposed beams and utilities. (Compare the video simulation presentation to what is actually in place, the reality is much worse than the artist’s rendering). To make matters worse, only 2/3 of the convention hall will be in the barn, […]

Among my early observations was that the Convention Center should NEVER be built adjoining a residential neighborhood, particularly (in the case of Lancaster) in an area which contributes greatly to the crime stats. Ah, the Stockyard site would have been so much better. Editor’s note: Best of all would have been to have upgraded the […]

I unexpectedly stumbled onto some extremely significant information regarding a past Sunday News propaganda piece supporting the hotel and convention center project. On Sunday, July 22, 2006, the Lancaster Sunday News printed an article titled “Sun shines bright on KY city” and sub-titled “Lancaster’s effort for a convention center mirrored in Covington”. This article went […]

From the beginning of the Home Rule Committee formation, I went to my source and asked for an explanation of this form of government. Critics are on the money when they suggest that this all was brought about by Lancaster Newspapers and I would add the Chamber and Dale High. Lancaster County is too stubborn […]
