Oh yeh, one other thing, SPRING FOOTBALL begins.
Go Big Red
Speaking of things getting better..... What is the deal with drugs in the 8th grade!!! I thought the school board/superintendent/principal were always telling us what a great system our local school provides. Our children should have a safe environment to learn. 8th graders with drugs are not safe. I suppose despite the "zero tolerance" we will get to cheer them on at track meets. Quick, close the Class 1's so there are more customers.....
Dr.s Resighn >> Hospital builds new Building with out Voter APPROVABLE Now where has this come from?? Somebody HAS TO GET A
HOBBY OR SOMETHING TO KEEP THEM OCCUPIED>>>! _( AND NO BIG MUG IS JUST A HANDLE!!)
I lived in Ord for a while and lived in the area most of my life; I moved away and after reading this blog, I again know that I made the right choice. Same ole, Same ole..no one can get along with each other. People excusing people of wrong doing but no one ever doing anything about it. Everyone complaining that there is no jobs but no one does anything about it and if they do someone else complains about it. If it's not the school making waves, then it's the police or city officials and if it's not that then it's the hospital. Come on people there is more to life and if you want Ord to survive then quit your fighting.
bigmug,
guess you can't read...try reading what I wrote again

There are alot of good things that go on in Ord. It just seem that the bad alway out shine the good.
I always enjoy going back for a visit, but would I live there again, I dought it.
The history of Ord is a good one, going back to the days it was started. Yes, there is alot to be proud of from the past, the future can be bright, if the right direction is taken.
Tincan.....................................we agree on one thing..............
GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tin can
1-Yes, the chief of police resigning is an improvement. Me being an optimist and talking to the respectable members of the board. They are realizing, what I have been saying about the police department has a basis of fact. We are now getting commitments that the old way of police dept doing business is going to end, one way or the other! (According to mayor)
2-In case, I have missed something, I don't believe or heard that the school has built any building against voter approval, at least none that I'm aware of, but we are building a new hospital with voter approval.
3-
oops sorry tin can didn't mean to do that
3- The hospital didn't throw anyone out- Dr. Dan having such a large patient clientel, that it was becoming difficult for him to personally manage his patients at his office, as well as the patients at the hospital. Dr. Dan practices a more personal one on one type of medical care rather than an don't know you, don't care, show me the money assembly line type of medical care.
4- Yes, we do have a problem child on the city council board. Again, the respectable members realize this to be true. Again they are committing to make changes in his reguard because they are tired of having one individuals behavior and involvements spreading to them.
5- As to city father/lawyer statement, I don't believe this individual is as powerful and influential, as people give him credit for. At least not now. As to his legal problems, he's created them himself the same as the problem child has created his too.
6- As to taxes- that's not exclusive to Ord, that's everywhere. Ord is a great place to live, we just need to get a few bad apples out that are spoiling the entire barrel. Come on home, tin can, at least for a visit, the fishin is great!
chantite- as to drugs in our middle school (8th), this is exactly what I have been talking about, the drugs in Ord, and in Valley County. This influence is brought by trickle down. I will give you an example in trickle down in reverse. The 8th grader when found to have illegal drugs, was questioned as to where they got the drugs, and who introduced them to them. The response was they had got them from an older sibling, and/or older friend. Who then was questioned, where they got the drugs, and who introduced them to the illegal drugs. Also presenting an argument that the illegal drugs are ok, everybody is doing them. The response continued to be that they obtained them while attending an after hours party, where they observed people who are supposed to be leaders within the community, as well as holding positions of stature in federal government jobs giving the appearance to the adolesence that illegal drugs are ok. And that their parents, grandparents, teachers, school counselors, principal, school superitendent, church groups, 4H, FFA,and the law enforcement community are all stupid, retarded, and uncool. To take this example a step further, the purported leader of the community, having influence over the police dept. (in order for them to keep their jobs) uses the police dept. as an early warning instrument and protection to continue to sell the illegal drugs. Not a bad little gig to subsidize one's income at the price of our young folks. Parents and teachers can not fight this battle alone. We must have competent law enforcement within the city and county to protect our children from these preditors... The most proven and the most effective method for combating this example is through the federal RICO laws. I am told by the US attorney that all we need is 15 affidavits stating how the above example operates for a presentation to a grand jury for an indictment under RICO. We already have 9 of the 15. I guess I fall in the classification of retarded, stupid and uncool.
rock
The friends that I have stated that Dr Dan was having problems with the hospital, and that there was legal action taken. I don't live there so I don't know all the details.
The school building that was built with voter disaproval was (as far as I know) last one built. It holds the offices, wiehgt room and I beleave the band room. All this made the TV news and a recall vote was also had.
By the way, there was a drug problem going on back then when the recall vote was going on, so guess it just got worse.
Don't miss understand me, I think Ord is a good place, but for whatever reason, the town has gone backward for some reason. I really do hope it gets turned around soon, I do have friends back there and I try to come to town at least once a year.
Lawman,
Good, glad to see more people following Big Red. Do you get on the husker blogs any?

Rock.................
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!
RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970) is not going to investigate Ord. There is nothing here that even fits into their criteria. And if they were, I can guarantee the people that you, me or anyone else would know a thing about it. You can't even prove what you say on here, so how could you prove anything to a US Attorney.
It is time you are honest with the people on here, and tell them how this all started a few years back. You have been trying to get even ever since then.
Tincan...........yep, I hit Lincoln Journal Star blogs about every morning to see what's new in Husker football, altho it is quiet this time of year, but will pick up when spring ball starts. Also like Husker Mike's Blashpemy, he does a good job. Behind Enemy lines- A Huskerh8ter's view of the world, was also fun reading and contributing. He could get your blood boiling. He closed it down the first of the year, guess it got to be taking up to much of his time. I think it is still up, just no activity now. But, if it is still there, you can take a look and let your blood boil too. lol.
But, some of those blogs are good, and have good writers.
gyp- RICO does apply. RICO is not just for the John Gottis of the world. It applies where two or more people conspire to engage in unlawful activity, particularly elected public officals conspiring with law enforcement officals to circumvent the law. The proof is in the statements of affidavits that can be stated to the US Attorney, along with the Postal Inspectors, and in the phone records. Honesty? Are you referring to my statements to the board, about selective enforcement in the city. Like when I had to dig up and remove irishes that I had planted on the corner because they grew over 18 inches tall, while we have other corners within a block of my home that are totally obscured. Or are you talking about the city not allowing truck parking in the industrial part of town after a banker bought a piece of property there and decided he didn't want the trucks parked there, resulting in the city revoking a 30 year verbal agreement. Is 8th grade kids being introduced to drugs ok with you? Now you be HONEST... Does that word apply to people who live their lives in the daylight working their US government jobs, working in city government, but by night under the cover of darkness live their lives as substance abusers and encourage others to engage in the same?
3-rock - Sunday, March 15 2009 at 7:57pm The hospital didn't throw anyone out- Dr. Dan having such a large patient clientel, that it was becoming difficult for him to personally manage his patients at his office, as well as the patients at the hospital. Dr. Dan practices a more personal one on one type of medical care rather than an don't know you, don't care, show me the money assembly line type of medical care.
Fact check here rock, the hospital board did vote to revoke both of the Stevens' hospital privileges, effectively kicking them out the door on their own. Their patients helped them set up a private clinic over that weekend so they could be open for business the following Monday. This a repeated pattern with this board, look at Dr. Blake. Iraqi War Veteran, $200,000.00 plus home purchased here, husband a school teacher in Loup City, and kicked out of the nest because she disagreed with the hospital board on whether we needed a bond. Check up and see how many doctors, nurses and support staff have passed through Valley County Health systems in the past five or six years...the numbers will scare you.
serenity - fact check well taken. Yes, there has been hoards of doctors, etc. that have flowed through this hospital. That's why I do not patronize the hospital or their clinic. I simply don't care for the don't know you, don't care, show me the money type of assembly line medical care that the hospital provides. I also took exception to their ads in the newspaper, saying meet your doctors (most were just p.a.). Implying that I don't have a choice... As a final word, my youngest boy had an injury to his hand on the weekend, which necessitated a visit to the emergency ward. The female doctor in attendance attempted to stitch up the injuries after several painful attempts (4hrs later), she stated he's lost alot of blood, take him to Kearney. She took out the stitches, she just put in. Requiring an ambulance ride, due to the amount of blood that was lost. The attending physician in Kearney, was astounded by the amount of tissue damage that had been done to the hand in the attempts to stitch it up. Those injuries far exceeded the original injuries. The Kearney doctor stated she was over her head. Amazingly, they still wanted paid for this lousy butchering job. We would have been better off if in the first place, we had just taken him to Kearney, as it wasn't life threatening then. Only after 4hrs of blood loss did it become life threatening.

4. city council has a problem child on the board
5. city father/lawyer has legal problems
