Scoping Today’s News - Horn’s Hill, Recycler, Park National - 6/1/09

HORN’S HILL DEVELOPMENT
Today’s Columbus Dispatch brings us up to date on the development of Horn’s Hill by sports enthusiasts. The new mountain-bike trails, a disc golf course, and two tracks for remote-controlled car racing is drawing lots of visitor-participants, some from other states for downhill racing.

BARCH WANTS NEW SITE PLAN FOR RECYCLER
Saturday’s Columbus Dispatch has a comprehensive report about the status of the fight between Freedom Recycling and its neighbors on the north end of Newark.

PARK NATIONAL TO SELL STOCK
WCLT’s web site carries a confusing report on the plan by Park National Bank to sell common stock and how this may relate to the repayment of TARP funds - or not. If you try to read this, you should first go find out for what purposes TARP funds are supposed to be used. Here’s a link for that.

  1. Hi Bruce,

    I saw in Sunday's This Week Licking County, that Bob Diebold and Judith Carr want to used upwards of $200-300,000 of federal stimulus money on the Newark Ice Arena. Did you catch that article. What are your thought?

    I found it intersting after doing some digging that Dave Rhodes and John Wallace are on the board of The Newark Sports and Events Commission, the entity that "operates" the rink. I think the rink servers a very small segment of the Newark Population. My son played hockey from like 5 years old to sr. high school, and I do not recall very many kids from Newark playing. They were from Granville, Pataskala, some came from outside licking county to Newark to play. I would hope they could find a more dererving project or community need for the money, but I would say it is a done deal.

    Reagrds,

    Amy

  2. Again, Amy, your comment called for another essay - "Grant grabbing by bureaucrats and special interests." Thanks for keeping me awake, sort of.
