FYI if you’ll be traveling in the area:
The Orange City Schools, Ursuline College and the Safety Forces from Pepper Pike and Moreland Hills have been developing the Campus Safety and Evacuation Drill set for Tuesday, October 7, 2008.
This exercise will include both lockdown drills and evacuations of Orange High School and Brady Middle School to Ursuline College via school buses. Ursuline College students will be evacuated to the Orange High School as part of this joint exercise. Later in the day, lockdown drills at Moreland Hills Elementary School and Pepper Pike Learning Center will also occur.
There will be many emergency vehicles on campus that day. During the evacuation drills, the police will control traffic on the city streets from the Orange Schools campus at 32000 Chagrin Blvd. to the Ursuline College campus at Fairmount Blvd. and Lander Road. The evacuation drills are scheduled to take place during the 9 a.m. hour for the high school and the 10 a.m. hour for the middle school.
This effort is a joint training exercise with Ursuline College, the police and fire departments, the Valley Enforcement Group SWAT, the Citizens Emergency Response Teams, and the Orange Schools Incident Command teams. Safety forces from Hunting Valley, Moreland Hills, Orange Village, Pepper Pike and Woodmere will be involved in these drills.

Regionalism?
Did you know that at one time the area was all Orange Township, SOM Center stands for Solon Orange Mayfield after the townships the road connected. Warrenville Center ran through what was Warrensvile Township.
If I was king for day, I would call for regional government that existed in separate district municipalities all based on the original township boundaries.
Then one central government located in a smaller city center, which would have council member from each district, it would replace the county government and combine regional entities under one common system.
It would require a central system that everyone utilized, for tax collection, public records etc. If we where real smart we would create a software in open source and own the right to it, sell licenses to other regions looking to emulate us. That is currently a high growth industry in software applications, private industry selling it to government at a very high cost. Logic would say create your own and then sell it to others.
We really do not have a democracy, we have a representational democracy. The former could not exist in the past because we did not have universal access to information, that is obviously changing with technology.
It is not really about equality, it is about fairness, not everyone is equal some are exemplary and some are average and some are derelicts. But at any level it should be about pride and dignity. The path should be obvious for advancement, what example do we set when we make the opponent look bad, if it defaults to that then fine, but we need metrics for that measurements to demonstrate it. If you made it better or you simply out preformed others, it should all end with a handshake or a nod, not in dirty looks and hateful glares.
I am not alone on this, many have said that math is the answer. Many at the onset had said that the separation into separate municipalities would lead to problems, hurray for me and screw you. We look like a society of fakes and phonies cutting each others throats for bragging rights and the proverbial shit just started to hit the fan.
Evacuation plan… we all can meet at the Polo field don’t forget your cell phones and laptops. Heaven forbid one of the lacrosse players has an epiphany and decides to hold the debate team hostage.
