Forgotten patriots remembered
In April 2000, actor Louis Gossett Jr. dropped a paperback, purchased at a yard sale, on director Frank Martin’s desk. The book told the story of black soldiers who fought in defense of their country.
“As soon as I saw it, I thought this would make a good documentary,” said Martin, who is based in Encino, Calif. Even though he makes his living doing reality shows and adult entertainment for clients like the E! network and the Playboy Channel, Martin’s heart and soul go into his award-winning documentaries.

I understand wanting certain businesses to be located in restricted areas.. but I highly doubt that a business that provides legal gambling needs to be places away from the other “wholesome” businesses..
who. also, decides what is a proper business, and what is not.. lets see.. gambling.. no nudity.. isn’t that what is offered at every grocery store, and gas station and convenience store in the city limits through the state lottery??? and adult businesses??? like maybe all of the bars, and clubs locally that sell alcohol to people who need to be adult in age, and yet they don’t seem to be secluded from other businesses??? and what about the smoke shops?? I am pretty sure that you need to be an adult to buy from them, and do any business with them.. how can they be existing side by side with other businesses that are deemed to be “wholesome?”

… Will we start policing all businesses? If I don’t smoke should we not let Cheap Tobacco (located at 461 Milan Ave.) in town? If somebody calls me to rent my space shouldn’t I be the one to determine if they should be here or not?”
Russ said he wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize his main tenant (Goodwill).
“I think this is the perfect place for it,” Russ said. “We are the only strip center which does not butt up to a residential area.”
Russ’s strip mall is zoned MB (mixed business). He said the city wants to force arcades into areas zoned M2 (the industrial park).
There are no open storefronts in M2, Russ said, noting the business owner does not want to build. Plus, he said M2 butts up to the Ernsthausen Recreation Center. Is that a good place for an arcade? Russ asked.
Russ said tagging arcades as “adult businesses” isn’t fair.
“I don’t think that is an adult business,” he said. “Is Cheap Tobacco an adult business?”

The Lorain County Community College Civic Orchestra will keep the music short and sweet in an upcoming concert at LCCC’s Stocker Arts Center.
The orchestra will perform a series of shorter pieces in a concert called “Short Stuff” at 7:30 p.m., Saturday.
The family-friendly concert will feature selections used in movies, television, commercials and cartoons and is specifically designed for those who are interested in hearing orchestral music played beautifully, but may not be prepared to sit through a full-length, major composition.
From the contemplation of a seductive courtesan who is thinking about becoming a nun to a song about long, tall ears, this concert bill spans about three centuries and several stylistic periods. From stately to sensual, somber to silly, the concert provides a unique experience, a little bit at a time.

Activist/filmmaker James O’Keefe and three other men — one of whom is the son of a federal prosecutor — allegedly posed as repairmen from the local telephone company, saying that they needed to “fix” technical problems with Senator Landrieu’s phones.
O’Keefe, Stan Dai, Robert Flanagan and Joseph Basel are all accused by the FBI of “malicious tampering” of the senator’s phones. Earlier reports that the four were charged with attempting to wiretap the phone were denied by the FBI. Flanagan is the son of acting U.S. Attorney Bill Flanagan, who is based in Shreveport, Louisiana.
O’Keefe drew national headlines for his video sting of the liberal community activist group ACORN last fall, in which he and a female accomplice posed as a pimp and a prostitute and shot videos in ACORN offices where staffers appeared to offer illegal tax advice and to support the misuse of public funds.

It’s fun cheering for the Saints, even for a day. You can’t have a heart and not be a Saints fan in this town. From Canal Street to the Rue Bourbon to Jackson Square to the levies holding back the Mississippi River, New Orleans was living and dying with their team. It’s wasn’t just sports. It was a team and a city in recovery from decades of losing and a hurricane that nearly wiped it off the map.
I’m sure that people in Indianapolis love their Colts just as much, but I can’t see the streets filled with insane fans like New Orleans this past week. Then again, it was 22 degrees in Indianapolis at game time.
The French Quarter was turned into Times Square on New Year’s Eve, Carnival in Rio and the food fight scene in
Animal House
all rolled into one. Beers were $1 for a tall boy. Jell-O shots were two for $5. Daiquiris with names like Thug Passion, Pimp Juice and Wassuppp? were $12 for a 44-ouncer.
