I don’t know where to post this, but it recently came to my attention that the Homer Prevention Project is finally doing something with the million dollar grant, printing huge ads in the paper with household products kids can use to get high.

This benefits the paper $$ with state funding, but that is about it.

When you print a large ad with a Whip Cream can telling kids/parents NOT to do something, it has the effect of ‘Don’t think of a pink elephant’ Did you think of a pink elephant? See how that works?

Any psychologist with the slightest bit of training or intelligence would know that educating children on the drugs they might find around the house to get high on, is probably not a good idea.

Someone please stop this mindless organization and their absurd slush fund from wasting our state funds and teaching our children horrible things?

Homer was given one million dollars to do something to prevent teen drinking, so they are encouraging them to do household products instead? Brilliant.

I thought a better use of that money would be to actually do something for young people in town, to redirect.

In the psychology classes that I took in college, we were taught when confronted with a problem, you redirect the energy to something more positive.

One million dollars would provide a very nice space in town for teenagers to do productive and safe activities late at night and on weekends.

Where did Esther Hammerschlag go to college? Because she is making $180,000 per year and the only thing she can think of is educating children how to find drugs.

Last year, 30,000 was spent on ‘solutions’ of which they have none.

Can anyone else in this town please CARE about this issue? That is our money for our youth- WAKE UP HOMER!

Exactly, and while we ‘run out’ , Conoco is selling Buccaneer’s gas to Japan, and using it as an excuse to give them water rights to them over Alaskans that have lived here for generations.

Conoco’s plant in Nikiski is the only one with the permit allowed to sell to Japan, who is paying double what anyone else will. So there is a mad dash to get as much as possible as fast as possible, as they will eventually allow exports from the lower 48.

But even Japan has come up with a faster, cheaper way to build the gas lines, but the state is not listening. Because gas lines are the new railroads, the more they build, the more they make.

The in state gas line was recently altered to ship less gas with industry standards pipes at a much cheaper cost. The price will remain the same.

There is money to be made in the building of the gas lines alone, and Parnell will give away our entire state treasury if we don’t wake up fast.

Just last September he traveled on the state dime for Conoco

“Gov. Sean Parnell is in Asia, seeking to drum up support for Alaska natural gas.
It is Parnell’s second state-sponsored overseas trip as governor”

Parnell really needs to be recalled, we should not have to put up with this level of blatant shameless corruption.
