Liberty Ranch makes name at State FFA

Posted on by

Liberty Ranch High School FFA is relatively new to the FFA organization, but this year all 4,500 attendees will remember Liberty Ranch as an FFA organization that has arrived, as their Parliamentary Procedure team came in first in the whole state of California, and teacher Mandy Garner beat out all the regional competition to be awarded State Star Advisor.

Brandon Denier was also the State FFA proficiency winner for goat production.

Liberty FFA president Annelise Wipfli really enjoyed her time competing at the state competition in Fresno.

The best part of state conference was being able to spend time with my chapter while meeting new members from around the state and attending sessions that were filled with excitement, guest speakers and powerful purposes.

The Liberty Ranch FFA state-winning Advanced Parliamentary Procedures team consisted of seven members. Olivia Montalvo, Alternate; Kelsey ODonoghue, Chair 5; Ryan Van Houten, Chair 4; Brian Dodson, Coach; Madison Owning, Chair 3; Jessica Pearson, Chairman; Chase Steele, Chair 2; and Brooke Hinders, Chair 1 spent many hours preparing with advisor Bryan Dodson. Winning individual awards on the team were Madison Owning for Outstanding High Individual Chair 3, Kelsey ODonoghue for Outstanding High Individual Chair 5, and Outstanding High Individual President was won by Chair Jessica Pearson.

Pearson was filled with pride for her Parli Pro winning team.

It is an amazing feeling to see that hard work really does pay off, said Pearson. I am very blessed to have accomplished this with some of the most amazing people in the world, my team.

Denier spent hours studying up on goats, and it paid off as he won State Proficiency.

I would like to thank my parents, the best Ag teacher Ms. Clement for her hours of hard work, our ranch veterinarian Dr. Webster for teaching me all the veterinarian information you need to know about goats, and the state and national sponsors, said Denier.

Montalvo was one of the seven members of the Liberty Ranch Parli Pro team.

Liberty Twp. retail development signs first tenant, changes site plans

Posted on by

LIBERTY TWP.

The multimillion dollar mixed-used retail, residential and office development proposed for Liberty Twp. has signed its first tenant, according to representatives of the developer.

The clothing store Dillards has signed a lease to build an approximately 200,000-square-foot flagship store, said Brock Schmaltz, spokesman for Columbus development company Steiner + Associates.

The development is to be located on about 100 acres at the intersection of Liberty Way and Ohio 129 along Interstate 75.

Original site plans called for three anchors for the project two approximately 125,000-square-foot department stores and a movie theater, Schmaltz said.

That hasnt changed, Schmaltz said.

Because of the Dillards lease, the store will take up more space than first proposed, so the second department store anchor Steiner is looking to lease will be a retailer that offers something different and occupies a smaller space, closer to 50,000-square-feet, Schmaltz said. Combined, Dillards and a second anchor department store will still fill a total 250,000-square-feet of retail space.

Site plans have also been updated to include a hotel, Schmaltz said.

Construction is now set to start October this year, with the approximately $300 million first phase of the development looking to open fall 2015, he said.

Progress is pending on a deal with Butler County on a Tax Increment Financing District to help finance infrastructure (streets and parking) for the newly named Liberty Center. The previous working title had been Liberty Town Center.

Libertarianism challenges the old left-right divide

Posted on by

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., in Lexington, Ky., in a file photo from Oct. 25, 2010. (AP Photo/Ed Reinke)

Audio player code:

In a recent article in Politico, reporter James Hohmann says that libertarianism, long considered a radical movement stereotyped as pro-pot, pro-porn and pro-pacifism, is moving into the mainstream.

Led by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., he writes, libertarians hope to become a dominant wing of the Republican Party by tapping into a potent mix of war weariness, economic anxiety and frustration with federal overreach in the fifth year of Barack Obama's presidency.

The retirement of Paul's father, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, long a libertarian icon but considered slightly goofy, is allowing the movement to try to rebrand itself as a reasonable and serious element of the GOP.

In a rebuttal to the Politico article, though, Reason.com says the movement is trendy because Ron Paul's ideas received an airing during his two presidential campaigns, not because of any efforts by the younger Paul.

According to NPR, Rand Paul himself may have aspirations toward a 2016 presidential run, which would likely raise questions about what many consider the mixed legacy of his father.

When it comes to actually winning elections, however, the movement faces steep challenges: Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, who ran as the Libertarian Party candidate in 2012, received 1.2 million votes, or 1 percent.

THE TAKEAWAY: Rand Paul's filibuster was a paradigm buster.

"Rand Paul is a very canny politician," Matt Welch, the editor of Reason, told host Tom Weber. "His filibuster [against U.S. drone policy] was a pretty epic moment in American politics ... partly because of the way it completely scrambled the usual left-right paradigm. You had Code Pink and Van Jones giving him a high-five, and you had Bill Kristol denouncing him, and Lindsey Graham and John McCain calling him wacko bird, and this kind of thing. And it really sheds light on the fact that our traditional left-right paradigm isn't always the best way to look at things. Sometimes it's better to look at things in terms of 'Do you favor government intervention,' or 'Do you favor more individual autonomy and control over your life?'

For a Libertarian, Rand Paul Supports Awfully Broad Police Powers

Posted on by

Since his anti-drone filibuster, Kentucky Sen.Paul has been celebrated as the leader of the libertarian wing of the Republican Party. But there are limits to his belief in national security limits.

Indeed, his latest explanation of his objections to using drones on American soil shows he actually believes in incredibly broad police power. "Here's the distinction I have never argued against any technology being used against having an imminent threat, an act of crime going on," Paul told Fox Business Network Tuesday,The Hill reports. "If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and $50 in cash, I don't care if a drone kills him or a policeman kills him. But it's different if they want to come fly over your hot tub, or your yard just because they want to do surveillance on everyone, and they want to watch your activities."

Maybe you find it comforting that Paul opposes drones spying on Americans in hot tubs. But his example of a liquor store robber is unsettling. His hypothetical comes into play after a crime is committed, and not when innocent people are in danger ("comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and $50").A policeman can use deadly force if he thinks his life is threatened. But a drone, by definition, cannot have its life threatened. A drone doesn't issue a verbal warning "Stop or I'll shoot!" or a warning shot. Most models for theescalation of force has have several warning steps before firing.
