WOOSTER — Emergency management officials from Wayne County will be part of efforts monitoring activities during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next month. EMA Director Joe Villegas and planner Barb Pittard will be among those who will work with the Cuyahoga County Emergency Operations Center. The convention will be July 18-21 in the Quicken Loans Arena, and because it is in Cleveland, the Cleveland City Emergency Operations Center will be the primary center. The RNC is expected to attract 50,000 people, and Cleveland is reaching out to other law enforcement agencies within and without Ohio to help provide security during the event.

“Our interaction will be putting pieces together, like a puzzle.” “We won’t know where we’ll be stationed” or what they will be doing, exactly, Pittard said. “We’ll know more as it gets closer. They’re really busy getting everything together right now.” During a briefing with reporters at the end of May, Police Chief Calvin Williams said the number of police officers working outside the "hard" security zone surrounding the convention venue, Quicken Loans Arena, would be "in the thousands." Mayor Frank Jackson said Cleveland officials have visited every city that has hosted a national political convention since 2004 to learn about best practices for security. "We are prepared," Jackson said. "We have done our diligence in many different ways." Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor visited Wooster recently, and during a roundtable discussion she was asked about the economic impact of the convention. While she did not have the figures in front of her, Taylor said it would be “significant.” She then talked about how she believed Cleveland and the state will be ready at all levels of security, partly because local police departments and county sheriff’s offices will be sending first responders. This will be the fourth time the Republican Party had its convention in Ohio, and the third time it was in Cleveland (1924 and 1936 were the other two). In 1976, it was held in

The event I attended was called Enter Helen. It was about a book that was written based to the life of Helen Gurley Brown. The event was very small and held at a bookstore named Powerhouse, which is located in Dumbo Brooklyn situated between the Brooklyn and the Manhattan bridges. I really liked the location that was chosen to host the event since it had breathtaking views of both the bridges and the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop. At the event they served wine however I did not partake since I had just came off of a twelve hour shift at work and was also driving.
Where do you need to go, Emergency centers or the urgent care center: What you do when an accident or incident occurs at your home or to your child? The first thing that pops into your mind is taking your child to the nearest emergency center which is pretty fine but you should remember that emergency centers are for any major or serious health situation. But if you have some minor illness such as fever and flue than the urgent care centers are much better option for you. Fever is a very common but still a very dangerous thing especially for very young kids.

My goal is to raise awareness and keep as many criminals out of our town as possible. Keeping one criminal from moving here doesn’t make it safe. We have to be aware of who is living here and who is safe to be around. I am asking you for your help to search regularly for offenders in our community and pass the information on to your neighbors. Let’s all stay informed so we can have a safe town to live in.
Presidential nominating conventions take place in the summer of an election year. The main task is to select the party’s presidential nominee, even that in all recent contests one candidate has already emerged from the nomination process with a clear majority of delegates and wins the nomination on the first ballot. To get the nomination, a candidate needs the support of a majority of the delegates, and if no candidate receives a majority after the first round of voting at the convention, the voting has to continue until someone does. After the delegates nominate a presidential candidate, he chooses a vice-presidential nominee, who has to be ratified by the delegates. The normal performance of the nominations used to have a pattern, in which there is a frontrunner that is leader in the early public opinion polls and has raised a large amount of money, and goes on to win the nomination.
In the United States of America, the form of government is a democratic republic. The nation is much too large to be entirely democratic.
