DUI Lawyers Nowhere Near as Aggressive in Advertising as Personal Injury Lawyers

Steve — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 23:42:42 +0000

So I wrote about being glad that the politicians are off of TV for awhile, even if it means that I have to watch ads for lawyers. I got to thinking about it, and I find it odd that you do not see advertisements for DUI lawyers on TV. DUI lawyers are kept very busy in this part of Ohio, as I have seen many lawyers defending DUI cases on the local court broadcast. Do DUI lawyers just not advertise because there is a steady stream of business to keep all DUI attorneys busy, or do they just rely on other means of getting their name out for DUI defense.

I know, DUI lawyers are people too. I am just amazed that with the “I’ll make them pay” ads that you do not see “Call the DUI attorneys you can trust…” right after them.

I have talked to a few people that have had a DUI, and the amount of money spent in the court system and the license bureau is amazing. I can see why people hire a DUI lawyer. When I watch the local court system on TV, I am amazed that people would ever try to go to a DUI hearing without a DUI lawyer. Even the people that are found guilty of a DUI seem to get off a little easier if they have a good DUI attorney.

I know, another rant. But this site is about what I think sometimes too.

Fire Levy Replacement on the Nov 2 Ballot for Pike Township

Steve — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 18:39:56 +0000

Residents of Pike Township will see a replacement fire levy on the November 2 ballot. The levy is a 0.5 mill replacement which will result in the Fire Department receiving funds based on your property’s current value. The cost of operating the fire department have gone up tremendously since the current levy was passed and the replacement levy is long overdue. I urge Pike Township voters to pass the replacement fire levy, your fire department needs the additional funds to help your family in an emergency.

Pike Township receives its fire protection from the East Sparta Volunteer Fire Department Inc. The East Sparta Volunteer Fire Department is an all volunteer fire department. Members of the fire department do not receive one penny of compensation for their time.

East Sparta Volunteer Firefighters Needed

Steve — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:11:24 +0000

When you dial 911, you need help, right? Did you realize your fire department is 100% volunteer, and has no paid staffing on duty? The firefighters that respond to help you stop at a moments notice to interrupt family meals, ball games, sleep, or whatever is happening when you make the call. They rush to the station, put on their protective gear, climb aboard the fire truck and respond to your call for help.

But what happens when there are no firefighters available to respond? What if they are at work, out shopping, on vacation or otherwise unable to respond? At this point, there are dispatch orders in place to ensure the next closest (and available) fire crew is responding as quickly as possible to bring you help.

While you wait for the emergency crews to arrive, you could have been helping. You could be volunteering to help your neighbors too. Our firefighters are not all that different from you. They are your neighbors. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, mechanics, salesmen, truck and bus drivers, farmers, and more.

We provide just about everything you need. We pay for the state training, the protective gear, the equipment, the continuing education and the excitement. You bring the able body, willing to learn attitude and a desire to help your community.

Stop by the Main Station, 9333 Main SE, East Sparta any Tuesday evening for an application and more information.
