FROM THE STRANGE FILE:
UFO FLYING OVER MT. WASHINGTON IN N.H.
An odd thing abo
ut this photo:
It was reportedly taken 139 years ago in 1870.
As far as we know, this photo hasn't been debunked.
The CM PRESS interviewed a person some years ago who claimed to have seen a large, fast moving cigar shaped object--like the one in the photo--flying from the direction of Mt.Washington and then over Massachusetts near the New Hampshire border and finally out over the Atlantic where he lost sight of it. Neither the CM PRESS nor, as far as we know, the person being interviewed were aware of the 1870 photo at that time.

PLANNING COMMISSIONER SAYS BUY LOCALLY
Colin McCarthy has a column in the almost daily Daily Pilot today in which he encourages Costa Mesans to buy locally. LINK
The CM PRESS agrees with this sentiment. In fact, we've believed in this for so long that we've often gone to City Council meetings to berate the Council for spending millions of dollars to buy goods and services outside of Costa Mesa instead of from local sources.
We've even encouraged the Council to find ways to encourage our local businesses to be more competitive on their bids so they get the business.
The other thing we've tried to encourage the Council to do is hire locally. Most of our highest paid City employees--firefighters and police officers--don't live in Costa Mesa. Every week, they take millions of dollars back to the cities where they do live. That's also where they spend the money we're paying them.
So, while we agree with McCarthy, we'd also like to see him step up and encourage the City to buy and hire locally. Maybe if we have enough voices calling for this, we'll see some changes.

Martin,
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of hiring police locally; I spoke with an acquaintance of mine who is a patrol officer in another city on this very subject.
I have long been a proponent of encouraging local police to live in the city they work for. My thoughts were that they would be more plugged in to their neighbors. Have a better understanding of the community. Provide good relations between police and community. Keep tax dollars local. To me it was nothing but win-win-win.
He agreed that those were all good reasons, but the overriding reason he did not live in the city he worked in was the safety of his family. Specifically the safety of his school aged children.
He explained to me that regardless of how hard you tried, when you live and work in a community as a police officer, some of the family and friends of people you had to arrest were going to be in your local schools, sports teams, etc.
Because he and fellow officers were concerned about this problem, it was more comfortable for them to live outside of the city the worked for.

Mr. Krochman brings up an interesting point but if our City Police are doing a good job curbing crime and our schools are secure there shouldn't be an issue. It may even help the public perception of the Police Department having officers living locally and actively participating in the local community.
