Here kitty kitty kitty

Jackie also suggested in last night's meeting that people should be limited to the number of feral cats that they have.
Well Jackie, instead of pouring over Bexley's imaginary court cases, perhaps you could spend the time to check the definition of a feral cat. Let me help you on this one-

From The Animal Spirit:
Feral Cats are-
"Homeless cats who are afraid of humans and cannot be easily approached or handled are referred to as "feral." Feral cats have generally had little or no human contact, causing them to develop a natural fear of humans."

I think the City would be hard pressed to limit it's citizens to the number of feral cats they have as these cats DO NOT belong to anyone, and will not approach you when they hear "here kitty kitty kitty".

Riddle Me This.............

Riddle Me this............Riddle Me That.............
It's a quiz...so take notes!
1) How many oh...let's say 7 lb pomeranians named...oh let's say "Mattie" should you be allowed if your neighbor has a 185 lb great dane?
ANSWER...well if your name is Jackie Thompson....26.42857 YEP..to make it "equitable" (the word of the night)....the person having lapdogs vs. big dogs should be able to have the same amount in pounds of dogs as the big dog next door. SERIOUSLY??!! Well...unless the big dog owner has a small yard...then THEY can't have THEIR dog!
2) How many pit bulls or "vicious" dogs can you have...dangerous and vicious as defined solely by Jackie Thompson?
ANSWER...NONE. However....if you want to own 4, 5, 6, 7 etc dogs as long as they're lap dogs...well let's "grandfather" them in. BUT NO PIT BULLS!
3) What if you want to "draft" legislation like Bexley's and try to pull the wool over Attorney Shannons' eyes?
ANSWER...He'll call you out.
And TaDa!!! The best question of the evening....
4) What is the camera man's name?
ANSWER...none ya, Jackie! Yep...she tried hard as she could to make Attorney Shannon insist that my camera man give his name "as if" he was in Poll Public. WRONG!!!!!! Attorney Shannon said it is our right to report and video as a form of our freedom of speech! It's driving her nuts!!

Got to give kudos to LaCorte for FINALLY distancing herself from Jackie and her insanity. Finally...she must be hearing what THE PEOPLE are saying.

More...MUCH more later!!

Council Mtg 6/16/09 The Dynamic Duo

3 hours of grimacing, snickering, sneering and all in all very bad behavior by not only one but TWO council members. You guessed it! Jackie Thompson AND Leslie LaCorte! That's right Whitehall, the 2 women on council just can't behave professionally as City Council members. NOT ONCE, did any of the council men make faces, sigh, grimace or sneer at ANY citizen, but the "Dynamic Duo"...oh my!! The 2 females of council, just feel it their right to try to make faces so everyone in the world knows there stance on a speaker or topic. Seriously??!!

Well, you've heard and read the recap of Leslie's bad behavior, now here's a recap of Jackie, who I might add, sits back and enjoys "the show" every single time Leslie "goes off"!!!

Jackie during poll public was just simply devastated that people may have to give up one of their 4 dogs. Sad yes, but the point is...it's against the law and JACKIE KNOWS IT and KNEW IT BEFORE SHE HERSELF violated it REPEATEDLY!!!! Now the innocent citizens can thank Jackie for their plight! Not to worry! Jackie is going to "revisit" THAT law...why??? OH YES!! Because it will be SELF SERVING! ANOTHER JACKIE AGENDA!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY??!!
If THAT's not enough! In Poll Council (after 3 hours of faces and snickers between the dynamic duo), Jackie addresses "people" who are not only trying to UNSEAT council members....but DESTROY them! SERIOUSLY??!! Whoa Jackie! Has anyone called YOUR employer to get YOU fired?? Nope. Didn't think so. Destroy you?? No! THAT is what YOU do when you get a single mother fired from her job for disagreeing with you! YOU!! YOU!! YOU!! Destroy lives. If you take yourself down in the mix, SO BE IT!! You sure don't need my or anyone else's help on that and it's FAR TOO LATE to pretend to be a victim!
She then has THE NERVE to give her phone number because she's "here for the people"! Remember Janiece??....YEP! Jackie sure was THERE FOR HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!....PEOPLE!!!...all you have to do is call MY number, and listen to the answering machine...it's ALWAYS there! WHY give her phone number??? Well...for one thing, it was just passed thru the streets by an illegal "deposit" to mailboxes...but also....the telephone is not in written word...so no one has legal recourse against her! IF YOU CONTACT HER...........SEND AN E-MAIL! Makes for good "evidence" in a court of law. See the City of Whitehall website.
The City of Whitehall is an embarrassment for the world to see, because we have 2 council members who JUST CAN'T CONTROL THEIR BAD BEHAVIOR!!!! Jackie Thompson has been at it for years as a citizen now as council, never knowing proper manners in public or how to behave as a "neighbor". Now enter Leslie LaCorte who just doesn't seem to be happy unless the spotlight is on her!
Ahhhhhhhhhh THE DYNAMIC DUO!!!
More on this meeting later..........

Memo to Leslie LaCorte

Harassment? Seriously??!! Week after week you scowl, grimace, laugh, snicker and sneer directly into the camera all the while being told by fellow council that the camera was NOT ABOUT YOU. YOU Leslie are the one who made it about you. Not once at the beginning of my efforts to inform the Citizens of Whitehall what a loose cannon Jackie Thompson is, did you bother to ASK me what the history was. NOT ONCE!! You stand in City Hall parking lot screaming at the top of your lungs that Jackie Thompson is NOT your friend, but you sure didn’t bother to ask why so many people have issue with her! Your first rant in a council meeting was that I should get over the past. This is NOT the past, it is my past, my present and my future. You have no idea what anguish has come and continues to come to my home because people call my home looking to yell at her. These calls are never pleasant and I have to let the calls roll to the answering machine when I do not recognize the caller. YOU HAVE NO IDEA! Now you sit at Poll Council for “final words” while sneering down your nose at me – I QUOTE- “Look at her! She’s disgusting! Sitting there writing down everything I say! She makes me sick!” THAT’S HOW YOU TREAT A CITIZEN WHO COMES TO MEETINGS TO RECORD INJUSTICE?! SERIOUSLY??!! Is it because I do not live in WARD 4? You say you are not Jackie’s friend, but any time a council member disagrees with her – you come swooping in to save the day while professing AND I QUOTE – “We are not the two nags of council!” You said quote- “I am a good person and do not deserve to be harassed!” NO ONE…NO ONE, harassed you. YOU on the other hand are harassing me. Neither the camera nor I are going away. You’ve done a great service to the citizens of Whitehall showing your true colors. It should not be difficult for them to decide who to vote for on election day. NOT YOU!!

And while you reel over this - remember, your friend Jackie just sits back and rocks in her chair while you go on your tirades for all to see and hear. She's got you just where she wants you.

June 16 Council Meeting 3 HOURS long

It will take a few days for me to go through the 3 hours of video tape to post the "highlights" of last night's meeting - but this one was really heartless:
As Janiece Miller looked on, during Poll Council, Jackie Thompson commented on how "politicans are too political" and INVITED everyone and anyone to call her anytime because she is there for the people. Wait! There are unspoken rules to follow here:
Call her only if you AGREE with her
Call her only if you DO want your life in turmoil
Call her only if you do NOT need your job

Nice, Jackie! Nothing like throwing salt into a wound!!!

Let us band together. Speak to me before the meeting tomorrow and we will overcome!!

Yet ANOTHER fascinating comment!

At the beginning of the June 9, 2009 Committee Meeting as the pleasantries were being exchanged, Jackie responded to some one's comment and I quote:
"Oh! In this day and age just be glad you've got a job!" " giggle" "giggle"

WELL WELL WELL, Jackie. Why don't you try telling Janiece Miller that?! OH WAIT! YOU CAN'T! YOU...YOU...YOU...YOU...YOU saw to it that she DOES NOT HAVE A JOB anymore!
And WHY?? Because Janiece had the audacity and nerve to disagree with your pit bull ban!!
An innocent single mother of two.

Happy with yourself?? Seriously????!!!!

PETA's Position on bans

At last night's committee meeting, Jackie also cited that PETA is in favor of pit bull bans. Well, in typical Jackie fashion, she took a few words out of the statement that she wanted and disregarded the rest. Jackie, when will you learn that people are on to you?? Seriously????!!!! You "quote" a site...and I might add..."AN OUTSIDER" as you like to refer to anything not within the city of Whitehall limits, and use a small portion, expecting the rest of us to be spoon fed by your poison. WE THE PEOPLE - CAN READ!!!! And we will look up and dispell all of your 1/2 quotes and untruths!

Here is the link-

http://www.peta.org/about/hottopic007.asp


"PETA’s Position on Pit Bull BansLegislatures across the country are increasingly seeking to ban pit bulls in an effort to crack down on dogfighting and prevent attacks by pit bulls. PETA supports legislation that bans the breeding of pit bulls, just as we support any spay/neuter legislation as the most effective way to combat the tragic companion animal overpopulation problem. We also support pit bull bans, as long as they include a grandfather clause allowing all living dogs who are already in good homes and well cared for to live the remainder of their lives safely and peacefully.

Gee, that's not AT ALL what you said!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously????!!!!

Whitehall councilwoman wants pitbull ban
Tuesday, June 9, 2009 10:42 PM
By Elizabeth Gibson
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Whitehall Councilwoman Jacquelyn Thompson surprised her fellow city council members tonight when she presented a proposal to ban pitbull dogs in the suburb, almost exactly a year after a similar law was rejected.
"I see no other alternative," Thompson said. "It's been almost a year and we're still having attacks. I just feel this city isn't safe."
The debate a year ago was one of the most controversial to come before the council in recent years.
Council members accepted Thompson's proposal in silence, passing the legislation around the table. It will be presented for a possible vote at a later date.
Councilwoman Leslie LaCorte, the only other member to support a ban last summer, said Thompson caught her off guard and she hopes it doesn't blow up into a divisive battle as it did last time.
Singling out breeds commonly referred to as pitbulls has been a hot topic around the nation, and the state House of Representatives is considering legislation that would nix the state law that automatically labels pitbulls as vicious.
Thompson's proposal last year riled some residents who said bad dogs come from bad owners, and a whole breed shouldn't be punished.
"My dogs aren't mean. They just weren't raised that way. Ms. Thompson is trying to make it a bigger issue than it is," resident Janiece Miller said.
Miller said she was fired from her accounting job this spring when Thompson complained to Miller's boss about an e-mail Miller had sent from work asking the council to quit harassing pitbull owners.
Residents have been filming Thompson during council meetings and criticizing her on a blog called Citizen Journalist, which endeavors to "alert all citizens of Whitehall, OH to the ridiculous and outrageous behavior of council member Jackie Thompson."
Thompson said she is standing up for residents who are nervous about confronting their neighbors about pitbulls.
The councilwoman said the compromise devised last July has not worked. It requires the owners of vicious dogs, which legally includes all pitbulls, to put up a 6-foot fence, neuter or spay the animal, implant an ID microchip and buy liability insurance.
City-code enforcement officials are still in the early phases of implementing the law, Service Director Ray Ogden said.
The city sent letters about the new law to 26 pitbull owners in April. Half of them have been cited for still not having tall enough fences as of May 15, he said. Since then the city has identified and warned the owners of five additional pets that had not been registered.

Whitehall councilwoman rejects compromise pit bull law

Whitehall Councilwoman Jacquelyn Thompson surprised fellow officials last night when she brought forward a proposal to ban pit bull dogs in the suburb -- almost a year after a similar law was rejected.
Thompson said the compromise from July has not worked. It requires owners to put up a 6-foot fence, neuter or spay the animal, implant an ID microchip and buy $100,000 of liability insurance.
The city is in the early phases of implementing the law, Service Director Ray Ogden said.
The city sent letters about the new law to 26 pit bull owners in April, and half of them were cited for not being in compliance as of May 15, he said. Since then, the city has identified and warned the owners of five additional pets that had not been registered.

I dont live in whitehall however, I was attacked by a dog as a child and it was not a pitbull or any of the bully breeds. I was attacked by a german shepard. I dont see anyone posting laws about registering german shepards or rotts. These two breeds if you check statistics attack more people in a year than pitbulls do. I think pitbulls have gotten a bad rap due to the dog fighting rings. No dog is born vicious they are made that way by bad training. I have been around many pitbull dogs and none of them have ever raised a hair on me or even was the slightest bit aggressive towards one of my children. I think in these times and economics there are more important things city council members should be dealing with besides banning one breed of dog from an area or checking how high your neighbors fences are.

Nice, and all blacks are criminals, and all white people drive BMW's. This is stereotyping at its worst, again. People own exotic pets like lamas, also What laws do we put into effect to stop the lamas from spitting on the neighbors? Hey how about No Trespassing? Beware of Dog? What are the people doing in their neighbors yard in the first place? If an animal escapes, by all means, the owner is 100% liable. But if a moron walks up to a dog in his own yard and gets bit, just stand there and let the dog finish the job.

I have 2 pitbulls and they r not vicious cause I did not raise them to be. I think it is terribly wrong to ban animals because of their breed. I have been around a few bitbulls and they never were vicious towards me. My pitbulls are mixed with rottweiller so does that mean they can still get banned?

Great, more legislation to protect the fat and lazy. If you cannot outrun a stupid dog, then you deserve to be eaten.That's why I am at the gym 36 hours a day.

Once again Council woman Thompson is focusing on an issue that NEEDS NO FOCUS! She continues to cite problems that surface in other areas, not Whitehall. This council woman needs to focus on real issues instead of perpetuating her own agenda. Even if the city banned pit bulls, dog attacks would still occur. Even if the city banned all dogs, dog attacks would still occur. Even if the city banned dog attacks, dog attacks would still occur. Get the picture? The only thing will will minimize dog attacks of all breeds is to educate owners and enforce CURRENT laws. Council woman Thompson needs to focus on the BIG picture instead of her own agenda.

sure, if one law isn't being properly enforced, pass some more. that makes (no) sense.some politicians just try to get themselves press and attention by beating this easily emotionalized drum.

They should really just ban all dog "ownership" as it is offensive and degrading to the dogs. Dogs have rights too and should not be subjected to so-called "ownership" by (slave) masters.Banning specific breeds should be unconstitutional also, we can't ban Asian people from our cities so banning a breed of dog should not be allowed.
Bodie
Grove City, OH
I personally think this lady is a bit out there.We can't see a ban on a breed when it's not the dog it's the idiot owners that are the problem. I qusetion judgement on pitbulls since you can adopt one at the Capital Area Humane Society and at Humane Societies all over Ohio yet the Franklin County Animal Shelter kills all pitbulls it takes in.Even our two animal control groups can't agree on this breed.
Knowledge is Power
Alsea, OR
Maybe you have a point that it is the owners of pit bulls. Owners who have no regard for the law, arrogant, and place a breed above the life of people. Why own a known dangerous dog unless you feel superior doing so? Typical of those who want to play kissy face with a pit and brag about it. Only problem is you can't tell an owner of a pit (unless they open their mouth) but you can tell a pit. PREVENT THE DEED, REGULATE THE BREED.
a concerned citizen
Columbus, OH
can we just ban people who try to submit pit bull bans? The dogs themselves are not the problem, it's all in how the owners raise them. There's so much data out there proving that pitbulls, by breed alone, are not pre-determined to be a vicious dog. Why isn't she going after all the so-called vicious breeds, rottweilers, pits, german shepherds, dobermans, chows, etc...and I have always heard stories about little dogs being much more aggressive/biting. The ban was already rejected last year, why doesn't she get a clue? How about instead of a ban, they just do more to enforce laws against owners who are training their dogs to be mean and/or abusing them.
a concerned citizen
Columbus, OH
Also, you actually can't get a putbull at the humane society, I have friends who worked there...ok you can, but it's almost impossible; When they get a putbull in, they have to keep it in the back room, and they can only keep it for 1 day and then they have to put it down. If these were people it would be called racism. It's the same ignorant line of thought that believes a race is predetermined to commit more crimes, it's simply not true.
a concerned citizen
Columbus, OH
um, not real sure I understand where you're goin there knowledge is power...kissy face with a pit? my pit is actually very well-tempered, if you came over she'd be hyper for about 5 minutes then she'd flop over on her back so you can rub her belly for hours. It's not about owning a known dangerous dog, it's about society getting over this notion that a dog is bad or vicious based on it's breed. I rescued my pit from someone who was going to fight her. Pits also make very good guard dogs and are very good with small children. Do your homework people before you try and outright ban something.
Bodie
Grove City, OH
YES you can get a pit at Capital Area Humane Society Look at there website there are probably 5 to 6 pit or pit mixes on it...... DUH ???????

What you are describing is an incompetent, or neglectful owner - Not a problem with the breed. I do not own a pit (due to the public perception associated with the breed). However I do know several people who do, and have never had a problem with a trained and socialized pit.

Pit bulls are the sweetest thing until they eat your child's face. How many times have you seen this story in the news? The owner says their pit was sweet and never agressive, and then it mangled their child out of the blue. That being said, adults should be able to make their own decision about whether or not they want to own one. The point you are all missing is that Whitehall pit owners are not complying with the compromise the city made (fence, microchip, insurance) The next step is a ban.
Jeff Deem

Way to discriminate Whitehall! What about the poodle by far the most violent dog breed? How about people? Will you require people with muscle to get a chip, put up a fence or require insurance? Discrimination is a horrible thing and that is what they are doing! Funny thing is if check into animal related injuries or fatalities these dogs are nowhere near the top of the list. Horses have hurt more people over the years than pitbulls. Pitbulls are not violent animals at all, they are the most caring breeds you will ever come across, and one of the only breeds that have the physical ability to smile. We need laws against ignorant people like Councilwoman Thompson, find something better to do with your time than attack these beautiful defenseless animals. You should be ashamed of your actions.
ED OH
Homer, OH

Deb you do realize that with almost all dog attacks, no matter the breed, the owners usually claim the dog was gentle and they never saw any signs this would happen. When someones dog bites someone the owners typically don't want to claim to have prior knowledge.If some owners aren't complying with the restrictions, then deal with those owners. Don't take away everyone's dog. Just because some drinkers drive drunk doesn't mean that prohibition is the answer.
OUTRAGED in Columbus

This is crazy! How can you ban a breed of dog? What's next banning the race of people that don't comply with the council womans grand plan?This should not be tolerated.I understand the fear because of stupid people not raising their dogs right and not keeping their eye on them... jackass people like Michael Vick who raise them to be aggressive and fight!!!! They are not all that way, Pit bulls are people pleasers, they just want to make their owners happy, now what that is depends on the owners NOT the dogs.You can't judge them all that way. It won't stop at pit bulls, next it will be rotweilers or dobies.Jugde the deed NOT the breed!!!

7b page 3

As Jackie's "draft" circulates the city, be sure to see page 3...7b
"No person shall knowingly, recklessly or negligently possess, keep, maintain, harbor or have care, custody or control of a vicious animal within the City."

DING! DING! ROUND TWO ON PIT BULL BAN!!!!!

At tonight's Committe Mtg June 9, 2009 - Jackie Thompson brought forth her proposal to submit legislation to ban ALL pit bulls from the city of Whitehall....AGAIN! Jackie said that it is not safe for women to walk the streets and for children to play (I guess pit bulls do not attack men). She still has to submit it to Attorney Mike Shannon to have the where to-where as-hence forth-and a knick knack paddy whack- added to her proposal before it can become legislation so she can submit it at the next Committee Meeting. Oddly enough, The Columbus Dispatch and the Whitehall News were represented at the meeting.....coincidence...or no???? Leslie LaCorte was "shocked as her mouth dropped open" by Jackie's announcement, but thinks QUOTE "it's a good ideal". Leslie went on to say that she thinks there should be the suspension of argument and everyone should just vote. Jackie and Leslie both agree that current legislation is not working. Jackie went on to cite a pit bull attack that occurred in Columbus where after the dog attacked this man's child, the man whipped the dog and beat it with a baseball bat. Leslie recoiled at the thought...but wait...it was last Committee Meeting May 26, 2009 that Leslie commented that her brother carries a bat and "if a pit bull attacks him...he's just going to kill it". Jackie said that her proposed legislation is drafted from Bexley's ban.
If that's not enough...on to the discussion of the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (to pay overtime to Whitehall Police Officers as they monitor and enforce speeding violations. As explained by Mr. Howard, Mr. Graham, Mr. Knoblauch, Mr. Rodriguez, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Kantor AND Mayor Wolfe numerous times, this is FREE money to the city just for the taking to provide additional funds for our officers to work overtime "only" (at their free will) to monitor and enforce speed limits. Also in this is the "PERK" of having the officers seen on the streets which will deter crime. Leslie wants more bang for her buck.....she wants to pay straight time not overtime (the grant specifies overtime) and is just not sure it's the right thing to do. Jackie wants the grant money (which specifies officer overtime pay) to go towards a "study" of how to stop speeders. Here's an idea...MAYBE JACKIE SHOULD WRITE LEGISLATION TO BAN ALL SPEEDERS FROM WHITEHALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! That makes just as much sense as her other attempts at legislation.

COME ONE COME ALL TO ALL COMMITTEE AND COUNCIL MEETINGS and see the circus that is Jackie Thompson working her own personal agendas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These meetings last so long with Jackie speaking out of turn and forgetting to ask her questions at the appropriate times...you may just want to bring some crackerjacks and soda pop.

2008 has yet MORE DOGS & Committee Mtg May 26, 2009

MISSION STATEMENT as first posted on April 20, 2009
For the new readers, I am re-posting my MISSION STATEMENT which as you scroll down, you will see that it was my very first entry and the most important part of this blog.
-My Mission Statement is to alert all citizens of Whitehall, OH to the ridiculous and outrageous behavior of Council member Jackie Thompson at council meetings. Her behavior as an elected official is an embarrassment to our city. We as citizens need to voice our opinion and hold her to the high standards that she demands of all of the other elected officials.-

Now……on to 2008 dog license registration- in 2008
Jackie had 5 dogs registered in her name:

1) Sampson
2) Maxie
3) Tazzy
4) Brubaker
5) Mattie

At one point, she gave one of the dogs away to a city employee who renamed it….leaving her with 4 dogs….exhibiting that at any give time in 2008 and 2009, Jackie has been in violation of –

Ordinance 505.13 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DOGS PERMITTED:
(a) No person shall keep or harbor more than three dogs, excluding puppies less than four months old, in any single family dwelling, or in any separate suite in a two-family dwelling or apartment dwelling, within this City. The terms "dwelling" and "suite", as used in this section, include the parcel of land upon which the building containing the dwelling or suite is located, and also all out-buildings located on that parcel of land. (b) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.(Ord. 47-84. Passed 6-5-84.)

Question: Does Jackie have NO (zero, zip, nada, zilch) regard what so ever for a law if it is one that she finds inconvenient?

At Committee Meeting of May 26, 2009 – Jackie was back on her pit bull rant. She grilled Mr. Ogden and Mr. Shannon on whether or not the owners of the pit bulls are “in compliance with the law” of fencing, registration and leashing. SERIOUSLY??!! Also, a sore spot for Jackie is that the owners are allowed 3 (THREE, TRES, TROIS, DREI) pit bulls.
So….let me see if I get this right….Jackie... –are you okay with people having 4, 5 or possibly more dogs at any given time even if it violates -
Ordinance 505.13 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DOGS PERMITTED
….as long as they are NOT a breed that falls into the dangerous or vicious breed category???? OR, is it just okay for YOU to be in violation???? SERIOUSLY?????!!!!!
