Granger
man raises concerns about proposed SR 18
project

To the editor:
To anyone not fully aware of the scope of
the Menards store and shopping center being
proposed in Granger Township, this shopping
center will be bigger than Summit Mall and
will impact not only the residents of
Granger Township, but also residents of
Bath, Sharon, Copley anyone living in the
Yellow Creek district, which is prone to
flooding. This will also impact anyone
traveling state Route (SR) 18 between
Interstate 71 and I-77, as well as all the
feeder roads, which has not even been
considered.
The problem is this project has been pushed
through by the Granger Zoning with no regard
for the Granger by-laws, the will of the
residents, the effect on property values,
noise and light pollution, traffic problems,
as well as any impact to the surrounding
communities and the Yellow Creek flooding
situation.
There has been no legitimate traffic study
done and/or concern for the water and sewer
capacity, as well as the police and fire
services needed.
What about the second large parcel that is
planned for another big box store and many
2-acre out lots for many other businesses
along SR 18 and Medina Line Road? Do you
think a large box store like a Meijer
supercenter chain open seven days a week,
364 days a year and other businesses like
Taco Bell and McDonalds with 24-hour
drive through windows would produce more
traffic than a warehouse and a dentist
office? They have no idea what else will be
possibly coming.
There are three Granger Township trustees
and one has family that owns a good portion
of the property involved and has recused
herself. That means two people will consider
and make a decision on something that will
affect not only the standard of living for
Granger residents but for all the previous
mentioned communities and residents
traveling SR 18. In my opinion, they are
totally lacking the information they need,
as well as not telling the public the total
truth. It has been said many times by the
Zoning Board and trustees that their hands
are tied, and this is totally not true. What
goes into the PDD [Planned Development
District] is totally the decision of the
township and there is precedent to prove it.
Either they are immune to what has been
written by the Granger forefathers to
preserve the integrity of the township, or
they are unqualified to make these
decisions.
Please express your thoughts to the Granger
Township trustees and/or attend the trustees
meeting on March 12 [at 6 p.m.] at the
Granger Township Hall at 3717 Ridge Road.

I ordered this
bumper sticker from
www.MakeStickers.com . They have free
shipping, great selection of weatherproof
stickers, no minimum quantity and 2-Day
turnaround. Their mission "is to take the
pain out of sticker printing and make it
simple, fast, and affordable without
compromising quality".
Patriot Wood is a fantastic business to
patronize. I ordered this custom Ohio
Blue Line flag and love it!
Excerpts
from President Andrew Jackson's Farewell
Address (March 4, 1837)
...But you must remember, my
fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by
the people is the price of liberty, and that
you must pay the price if you wish to secure
the blessing. It behooves you, therefore, to
be watchful in your States as well as in the
Federal Government....
... You have no longer any cause to fear
danger from abroad; your strength and power
are well known throughout the civilized
world, as well as the high and gallant
bearing of your sons. It is from within,
among yourselves--from cupidity, from
corruption, from disappointed ambition and
inordinate thirst for power--that factions
will be formed and liberty endangered. It is
against such designs, whatever disguise the
actors may assume, that you have especially
to guard yourselves. You have the highest of
human trusts committed to your care.
Providence has showered on this favored land
blessings without number, and has chosen you
as the guardians of freedom, to preserve it
for the benefit of the human race. May He
who holds in His hands the destinies of
nations make you worthy of the favors He has
bestowed and enable you, with pure hearts
and pure hands and sleepless vigilance, to
guard and defend to the end of time the
great charge He has committed to your
keeping....
Quotes
from Ronald Reagan
"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be one nation gone under."
"If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth."
"I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born."
"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives."
"Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States."
Bitter Clinger Bullets
1. The greatest danger to America is it's rejection of God and His laws.
2. Liberals lie, even to other liberals.
3. Liberal logic: capital punishment is immoral, but abortion is not.
4. My biggest shock the past 5 years was learning not how liberal the Democrats are, but how liberal the Republicans are.
5. Fiscally speaking, second to our enormous debt, unlawful immigration is America's greatest threat.
6. Since both liberals and conservatives spend their dollars with corporations who fund liberalism, can conservatism ever win?
7. Pundits are shocked at Obama's lies. In the Illinois Senate he voted for infanticide 4 times--why should his lying shock us?!
8. There is no such thing as term limits. Career politicians never leave government. They just run for a higher office!
9. When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right, is of no consequence.
10. A Christian can not claim to be pro-life if he willingly funds abortion with his Facebook page.
Patriot
- One who loves his or her
country and supports its
authority and interests.
The United
States of America is a great
country and loved by many.
Many people believe that to be a
patriot, you need to have done
something extraordinary like
Paul Revere, George Washington
or other early Americans. As you
can see from the Webster
definition above, that is not
true.
All too often,
patriotism and being a patriot
is associated with a man and the
ladies are overlooked.
Sure, there was Betsy Ross and
??? Yet, a lady can be a
patriot if she fits the
definition.
