Rev. Hombre Liggett by Sea of Gallilee

The Rev. Hombre Liggett in front ot the Sea of Gallilee

The Rev. Hombre Liggett by the Sea of Galilee. It is mentioned in The Bible by 3 other names: The Sea of Kinnereth (or Chinnereth), The Sea of Tiberias.and The Lake of Gennesareth.

Much of the ministry of Jesus Christ, and numerous of His miracles took place in the area of the Sea of Galilee.

From the fishermen of the Sea of Galilee came at least four of The Twelve Apostles - Peter, Andrew, James and John. Jesus stilled the raging storm on the Sea of Galilee that was about to swamp their boat. Jesus, and Peter to a limited extent, walked on the water there. Near its shores Jesus fed the five thousand men, women and children from the miraculous multiplication of five loaves of bread and two fish. Mary of Magdala, the first human to see and speak with the Savior after His resurrection, was from the town of Magdala on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee.

Look on any map of Israel and the Sea of Galilee is difficult to miss. It's the large body of water in Galilee, in the northern part of the land of Israel, directly east of Mount Carmel. Damascus is to the northeast, the valley of Armageddon is to the southwest.

The Rev. Hombre Liggett sent back a couple of photos from Jerusalem. One is the Gate Beautiful where Peter and John healed a crippled beggar (See Acts 3: 2-10) and the other is of a rabbi at the Wailing Wall.

Here is Hombre’s note to his mother.

Hello mom,

I love you so very much. I am rather emotional. Yesterday we walked around Old City Jerusalem. I was at King David's grave, the gate called Beautiful, the Wailing Wall, the Mount of Olives...and the list goes on an on.

I did include a picture of the wailing wall when I email Marci. I will include a picture with this email of the Gate called Beautiful. This is where Peter and John healed the crippled begger, and another picture of a Jewish Rabbi at the wailing wall.

I love you.

A St. Patrick's Note from Akron

It' s time again to wish a "Happy Birthday" to my great-great grandmother Eliza Cotter who would be 181 years old this St. Patrick's Day. She was born on a March 17 near Newry in County Armagh.

She had a daughter, Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" (my great-grandmother), who like my granddaughter Anna was born on Christmas Day. And, of course, my other granddaughter is named Erin. Myself, more like an ordinary three-leaf clover, was born on the third day of the third month of 1930.

True love getting more expensive

True love is getting more expensive–up this year by 4 per cent to $78,100. That's the cost of purchasing the items in the Christmas carol "The 12 Days of Christmas/"

Here's the AP story, but you really need to click on the headline for the fun report.

By DAN NEPHIN, Associated Press Writer
PITTSBURGH – While the origins of the Christmas carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas” may be a mystery, one thing is certain: It’s getting more costly to buy your true love all the items mentioned.

It would cost $78,100 to buy the 364 items, from a single partridge in a pear tree to the 12 drummers drumming, repeatedly on each day as the song suggests, according to the annual PNC Christmas Price Index compiled by PNC Wealth Management. The cost is up 4 percent from $75,122 last year.

Buying each item in the song just once would cost $19,507, up 3.1 percent from last year’s $18,921. And shopping online would be costlier, with the total for the 364 items costing $128,886, up 2.5 percent from last year’s $125,767. You would spend $31,249 online for each item just once this year.

Though a humorous look, PNC said the index mirrors actual economic trends. PNC has been calculating the cost of Christmas since 1984.

Helping push the cost up this year is the minimum wage hike, which bumped the cost of eight maids a-milking from about $41 to nearly $47.

“They have not had an increase since 1997,” said Jim Dunigan, managing executive of investment for PNC Wealth Management. “The good news is, if you’re a maids a-milking, they will also see an increase in 2008 and 2009.”

Higher food costs pushed the six geese a-laying from $300 to $360. And reflecting higher gold prices, those five gold rings will cost $395, up 21.5 percent from last year’s $325.

“The cost of the gold rings in this year’s Christmas Price Index reflects the general trend of increasing commodity prices in the Consumer Price Index, including gold,” Dunigan said. “In addition, increased fears about inflation and the value of the dollar may have led investors to turn to gold as a safer place to invest their money.”

Not everything is more costly. The price of a partridge ($15), two turtle doves ($40) and three French hens ($45) remained the same, as did seven swans a-swimming, at $4,200, and nine ladies dancing, at $4,759.

Jim Friel seeks Newcomerstown mayor's job

Jim Friel, son of the late Ora and Wilma (Liggett) Friel, is one of two candidates opposing Newcomerstown Mayor Jim Carr in his re-election bid Nov. 6.

The winner will serve a four-year term with an annual salary of $10,000. The salary had been $20,000 but was cut in half by a vote of council.

The candidates are independent Carr, Democrat James A. Friel and Republican Steven B. Guy.

At the end of his current term, Carr said he will be the longest serving mayor in village history with eight years. The previous mark was six, he said.

Comments from Carr dominated the story today in the Times-Reporter.

“I want to see things continue forward like they have been,” Carr said. “I hear it’s time for a change, but I’d like to say that under my administration, with good people around me, we’ve accomplished quite a lot. We’ve obtained over $2 million in grants.”

Friel said he is running because “I feel the departments in the village need guidance, and I feel they don’t have that right now. I want to see some changes in the village. There are some issues, such as flooding, our infrastructure, such as streets, water and sewer lines, that need to be improved. You always like to see more jobs, so I’d work the best I can to get jobs and businesses in here. I feel my experience makes me qualified for the job.”

He sees the issues as being infrastructure, jobs and coordinating the departments to work better together. He added the municipal building needs to be improved and made handicapped accessible or another one built.

As for working better together, he said one department needs to know what another is doing so that they can best coordinate use of equipment and making sure something, like a waterline replacement, is done before street paving goes on.

Friel said that while he was on council from January 1998 to December 2001, the village initiated renovations at the wastewater treatment plant renovation, attracted businesses to the community and implemented policy and procedure manuals for departments. While on the board of public affairs, he helped aid in completion of Phase II of the wastewater treatment plant renovation; initiated the County Rd. 15 lift station project and made manhole and sewer line improvements for Mulvane and State Sts.

Guy served as a councilman for about 9 1/2 years since the 1980s and filled in for about 45 days when a previous mayor had to go to China on business. He said he and his family are life residents of Newcomerstown and he is running because he is ‘concerned about the village.
