Activist convicted of cutting city grass…and I ain't kiddin…

CLICK HERE TO READ BUFFALO NEWS ARTICLE…. First, go read the above… Just do it!!! Then come back ok… Did you read it? How absolutely wrong! There is no other way to put it. Harvey Garrett is a pretty stand up guy. He is and has been involved in numerous initiatives over the years on the West Side trying to help turn things around. This isn”t the first time Harvey has had an unfortunate run in with the City of Buffalo. Last summer, Harvey”s home was inspected after he complained about the city”s inspection process. And now this… I must admit that I don”t know all the ins and outs of this story. But, I think you and I can figure them out for ourselves. But rumors are starting to swirl that Harvey is going to cited for picking up litter on a city owned street. What is worse, he put it in a city owned trash receptacle. This is a crazy town!

MATTIE STEPANEK: WORDS FOR US ALL

If you have never read anything by child phenom Mattie Stepanek, click here for more infoáand be inspired.ááBy chance, I caught Mattie on Larry King a few years back and was totally floored by the love of this child for our crazy world.

Mattie J.T. Stepanek was born with a rare neuromuscular disease called dysautonomic mitochondrial myopathy.á On his short journey here on Earth, he touched countless people with his words and ever-endearing positive outlook on the world.á Someone who died at the age of 14…who had theáwisdom of someone beyond his years.

The first poem I read of his:

About Wealth
The richest
Person
Is the one
Who is
Friends
With all
The earth.
á
I always find myself reading more about him and his poems.á And when I do, I usually leave feeling that there is hope for us all and a tear or two in my eye.

His poem “For Our World” written on 09/12/2001 is truly something inspirational and should be read be all…click on read more to view this poem…

My way or the Skyway

The Buffalo Skyway us currently undergoing a multi-million dollar fix-up. Isn”t it about time that this thing comes down? Or should we leave it?

What are the alternatives? Some can be found at http://skywayalternatives.com..but WNY Media wants to hear from you! What do you think should be done with the Skyway? Is it an obstacle to both inner and outer harbor development? Send your opinions to cbyrd@indabuff.com and we will post them up on WNY Media. Heck, we will even forward them collectively to Congressman Brian Higgins to give him an idea what the average WNYer feels about the Skyway and what should be done with it.

I”ve also posted this up on http://wnymedia.net site…
