B-ball reporting and “average Joe” stumping

Still catching up on the last couple months…  I write columns for our local newspaper, The Bluffton News.  However in recent months, I’ve turned my attention to sports.  I’ve been asked to write the boys varsity basketball stories, not because … Continue reading →

More catching up on the past two months…  I volunteered at an outreach to the homeless in Cleveland on Christmas night, during a trip back to the city to see relatives.  This is run out of St. Malachi’s Church on … Continue reading →

…from the ladder; a “wind campus”; Mom & Pop shops; “Press & Prose”

Vote for Joe Posted on January 16, 2016 by Joe SchrinerJanuary 16, 2016

Catching up on the last couple months…  It’s been a whirlwind of stuff in between house painting, parenting, writing, working on the campaign…  We, for instance, have done a number of Facebook “…from the ladder” segments about such topics as … Continue reading →

green lawns, Syrian refugees, broccoli

I’ve gone to a series of Bible Studies at the local Lutheran Church the past month.  The pastor, in referring to how crazy our spending in America has become, noted we spend $40 billion a year on lawn care — … Continue reading →

Russian and Chinese dissidents

Vote for Joe Posted on November 12, 2015 by Joe SchrinerNovember 12, 2015

I attended a talk at Bluffton University today that was, in part, about Russian dissidents.  BU History Professor Perry Bush noted that scores of Soviet Union “dissidents” (artists, writers, teachers, Christians…) were killed under Stalin — or sent to “labor … Continue reading →

El Nino shift; home church; reverse “white flight”; average Joe ‘low-tech’ wonk

Vote for Joe Posted on November 3, 2015 by Joe SchrinerNovember 3, 2015

With a shift in the El Nino pattern, things will be about 15 degrees warmer than normal in Ohio this next two weeks — which will afford me the opportunity to finish an outside painting job before winter sets in.  … Continue reading →

Browns burgers; promise ya anything; marijuana; cheap motel…

Vote for Joe Posted on October 22, 2015 by Joe SchrinerOctober 22, 2015

Did some more traveling on Ohio’s back roads last weekend…  In Lisbon, Ohio, I stumped at the Steel Car Trolley Diner.  I also noticed the menu featured a Cleveland Browns Burger, as it featured a Ben Rothils’burger’ (Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback).  … Continue reading →

America ‘gasses’ the world…

Vote for Joe Posted on October 16, 2015 by Joe SchrinerOctober 16, 2015

On Tuesday, I attended a forum on “Climate Change” at nearby Bluffton University.  [Having a small liberal arts college in our backyard has provided an absolute wealth of research information.]  Toledo University Environmental Science Professor Andrew Jorgensen travels the country … Continue reading →

bicycling, national debt, prayer, square dancing (Not!)…

Vote for Joe Posted on October 16, 2015 by Joe SchrinerOctober 16, 2015

Traveled some on the back roads of Ohio this last week…  I stopped at the National American Bicycle Museum in New Bremen, Ohio.  [Our platform calls for a shift to much more bicycling and walking in America.]  While stumping in … Continue reading →

Vote for Joe Posted on October 3, 2015 by Joe SchrinerOctober 3, 2015

I interviewed Greg Gerschutz recently.  He joined the Peace Corps in the early ’70s and was sent to a rural village in the Philippines called Eastern Infanta (pop. 2,000).  He worked with an extension agency there to help small farmers … Continue reading →
