Update No. 4: Bexley Public Radio time share negotiations

By letter dated July 22 and received by BPRF on July 26, 2010, SL declined to negotiate with ADJ as a representative of BPRF.

SL said that it is “committed to defining a collaborative relationship between WCRX and WCRS, one in which both licensees collaborate in sharing the frequency and the 24/7 clock.”

SL also wrote that “we reject BPRF’s proposed time share split per the letter dated June 15…”

BPRF observation: SL now wants to define a "collaborative relationship." Any dictionary definition of "collaborative relationship" is acceptable to BPRF.

SL has already made agreements with BPRF that, in sum, are an existing collaborative relationship.

BPRF has been collaborating with SL since 2003.

In the seven years since 2003, BPRF has made several agreements with SL.

Most importantly, BPRF has signed a timeshare agreement with SL.

SL and BPRF have made three oral agreements as to operations (refer all general press inquiries to Professor Koch at Capital University, no funding source piracy, and coordination of all press releases). BPRF has abided by these oral agreements.

Through its three years use of BPRF's transmitter and antenna, SL is subject to BPRF's January 2007 protocol as to hourly charges and SL is obliged under the protocol to make certain insurance and foreign language certifications. SL is in breach of the protocol. BPRF has collaborated with SL as to use of BPRF's equipment.

Finally, BPRF has accepted SL's offer of the noon to midnight time slot in the timeshare agreement. The paperwork to submit that timeshare amendment for FCC approval has been on SL's desk since June 14, 2010.

SIGN THE PAPERWORK SIMPLY LIVING.

SL, demonstrate your commitment to collaboration. SIGN THE PAPERWORK.

Feng Shui and the art of listening to Bexley Public Radio.

Car radios receive the WCRX-LP signal everywhere within the I-270 circle of concrete that surrounds metropolitan Columbus.

Inside houses and buildings, listeners complain about reception problems. And even no reception at all.

The usual advice for solving these problems is to buy a better radio.

Other solutions that listeners have used include adjusting the lay of the AC power cord attached to the radio. If the radio has an extension antenna, adjusting the antenna and the body of the radio also provide possible solutions.

In addition to these solutions, Lee Edmondson offers a unique approach to reception problems she experienced in her Bexley residence.

Lee’s solution is to apply principles of feng shui to connecting to Bexley Public Radio.

Lee lives near Alum Creek in Bexley and had difficulty receiving the WCRX-LP signal in her residence.

Lee is familiar with feng shui principles and decided to apply them in positioning her radio for receiving Bexley Public Radio.

She began by unplugging her radio and setting it near the center of her residence.

She then relaxed in the approximate center of her first floor and near the radio.

After achieving a calmness and becoming aware of her surroundings she concentrated on her purpose in applying feng shui.

This seemingly simple task turned out to be the most difficult part of the Lee’s exercise.

Her purpose was more than receiving an electronic signal from a distant transmitter and antenna.

As Lee relaxed and focused her mind, the list of purposes grew. Hearing the voices of friends, hearing information on local events in her neighborhood. Listening to lunch specials at Bexley lunch spots. Arranging her tasks according to cultural events scheduled near her residence. Distraction from vexatious problems. Relaxation. All these purposes came to her mind.

During this initial process, the complexity of Lee’s purposes began to resolve itself into Lee’s recognition of Ch’i.

She continued this exercise by making a mental inventory of the objects in her residence. She observed them in relationship to the geometric planes of her rooms and hallways.

She also noted the moveable objects in her yard. And, the living fixed objects, trees, shrubs and grasses were also noted.

Her awareness of stationary objects, the buildings, sidewalks, driveways and curbs, were tinctured with an understanding of their ages, purposes and condition.

Lee concentrated on each of these objects, those inside and outside. She made mental notes as to how the objects helped her achieve purposes that were connected to why she wanted to receive the Bexley Public Radio signal.

This exercise resulted in Lee identifying several objects in her house that were no longer needed and she gave them away. In particular, she understood that a table was a major impediment to receiving the Bexley Public Radio signal. She gave the table away. A simple, very ordinary charitable gesture.

Lee then moved to each of the major entrances to her first floor. At each of the doors and windows, she relaxed and concentrated on her purposes.

She also moved her location and concentration to the major openings on her second floor.

From this exercise she identified locations that were conducive to her purpose. And Lee experimented, plugging the radio into locations that were compatible with her identification of Ch’i. Her north wall parallels East Main Street was important in its relationship to Ch'i. The microwave, whether working or not, was a major impediment. A ficus tree was very compatible with Ch'i. Her plug-in clean scent was compatible with Ch'i and the aroma was helpful in Lea's mental efforts.

Outside, Lee made a concentrated effort to identify the contours of the land in her neighborhood. She also developed an awareness of the dominance of nearby Alum Creek in relation to Ch’i.

Lee began this process in late summer '08 after the Summer Equinox and continued the process until the Winter Solstice, making adjustments to the location of objects inside and outside her residence.

This exercise of feng shui has been successful and Lee receives Bexley Public Radio on her home radio.

The reception is still imperfect but it is real and helps Lee achieve her purposes in listening to Bexley Public Radio.

Relaxation.

Laura Franks Dividend Note No. 27 for Bexley Public Radio.

This is my Dividend Note No. 27 as of July 15, 2010.

Even in unsettled financial times, increased dividends are a breath of fresh air.

These are thirty companies most of which increased dividends during the last two weeks of June and first two weeks of July. Most are American companies.

Three of the companies are involved in interesting lines of business: Big 8 Split holds a portfolio of the common shares of the major Canada banks and insurance companies. The financial institutions are Bank of Montreal, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank of Canada, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, Great-West Lifeco Inc., Manulife Financial Corporation, and Sun Life Financial Inc.

Another interesting business is Computer Services, Inc. a Paducah, Kentucky provider of software applications to financial institutions and other businesses.

A second Canadian enterprise that caught my eye is Empire Company. The diversity of its operations seemed interesting. Empire Company is engaged in food retailing, real estate, and investments and other operations.

Government Properties Income Trust is just what its name implies: The trust owns real estate that it leases to government agencies.

COMEDIAN RENE' BRAY TO VISIT WCRX By Dianne Garrett

I am very pleased to announce that nationally known comedian, Rene' Bray, will be joining me on "Eastside Now!" August 4, 2010. Rene' is a friend of mine who originally hails from Wilmington, Ohio, which is my hometown. She has been a successful stand up comedian for many years, and continually uses her celebrity to assist charitable organizations. Rene' has agreed to co-host my show for the entire 11-1 time slot, and will be sharing details of her latest goodwill tour to benefit "Lawyers for Warriors".

Many military personnel are struggling with legal issues back home in the United States while serving their country overseas. It is time for the American people to ban together and help these service men and women in their time of crisis. There is a newly formed Florida-based non-profit organization called Lawyers for Warriors. Their mission is to provide pro bono legal services to members of the United States armed forces, especially those who are deployed to hostile fire zones. They also provide legal help to recently returned veterans and their families. Even though Lawyers for Warriors just started in January this year, it is getting new cases every day. For example, a special forces officer in Afghanistan sent an email to the organization in need of help. He had been living with his family in Tampa when he was deployed. Because of his deployment, he moved his family back to his hometown in another state. The property management company now wants the balance of his lease, as well as refusing to return his security deposit. In another case, a soldier who had been injured and paralyzed while serving in Afghanistan, was served his foreclosure papers while recovering in the hospital. The suicide rate for military troops deployed to Iraq is on the rise. Investigators have found that financial problems, failed relationships and legal issues were the main reasons why they took their lives.

Rene' Bray, a comedian in Florida who tours the United States, who has been featured on several talk shows, is combining efforts with Johnny Mac, a comedian in Jacksonville who hosts "The Johnny Mac Show," to bring the "Stand Ups for the Troops Comedy Tour". This tour has been scheduled in many comedy clubs throughout the United States to raise money for Lawyers for Warriors. The tour kicks off July 13 in St. Petersburg, FL. In Ohio, the duo will be appearing at the Funny Bone in Dayton August 11, and the Funny Bone in Cincinnati August 18. Log on to www.lawyersforwarriors.org to get ticket information for the tour.

Bray will cause a lot of laughter at the comedy show, but most importantly, she will help everyone to feel a sense of patriotism. She is proud of her military experiences. Her father served in the Navy and stepfather retired from the Air Force. "Many of my friends' children are serving. I have met many amazing service people through the years while doing comedy at different military installations. Most memorable is a comedy tour at Gitmo in Cuba," explained Bray. She has been performing comedy for more than 20 years, and has appeared on television shows such as Geraldo, Montel Williams, Jenny Jones, Rolando and ABC's 20/20. She has testified before the Senate, and is a strong advocate against child sexual assault in addition to supporting the military. "I wanted to help with this charity for several reasons. First, I know people involved and their dedication is immeasurable. Second, it is my way of giving back, which I think is very important. Most of all, there is a very healing power to laughter, and I think everyone needs a huge dose of that medicine right now," shared Bray.

Mac also has several years of experience as a comedian, and has performed in numerous comedy clubs and colleges. He echoes Bray's sentiments in supporting the American troops. "Many of our soldiers are coming back from the war, only to find their own personal war here at home with legal issues, foreclosures and more. We are here to help and hopefully you can join us," said Mac. Special guests will also join Bray and Mac at the different venues. It is definitely a show you won't want to miss.

I've personally seen her on stage. Her stage performance is unforgettable and hilarious. She saunters onto the stage with a shy smile and old fashion southern charm. She manages to explain parts of her life, and the lives of others, with biting wit that leaves the audiences laughing, even after the show is over.

Besides her television appearances, she has opened for recording artists Little Texas, Billy Ray Cyrus, Steppenwolf, KC and the Sunshine Band, The Redhot Chili Peppers, REO Speedwagon and Taylor Dane. Rene' opens and emcees for The Chippendale Dancers and Suncoast Calendar Men. She has headlined in over 500 comedy clubs in the USA, Canada and Caribbean Islands, and was the first comedian to perform at Guantanamo Bay Cuba.

So tune in on August 4, and have lunch with Rene' Bray and Dianne Garrett. It could be one of the most entertaining lunch you've ever had!
