Findlay Flood
This is the first anniversary of Findlay, Ohio's terrible flood of last summer. If you're not from this area, you probably didn't see much coverage on the news. The President didn't come. Entertainers didn't show up. I'm not sure Al Gore even blamed our misuse of the climate. The people involved just pulled on their boots and cleaned up the mess. But they remember!
Last Sunday we had the pleasure to see and hear some of Findlay's young people here in Lakeside performing as the Pantasia Steel Drum Band at our Steele Memorial Bandstand on the lakefront. Wow! What a group, and what an opportunity for young people. Kids like this who contribute so much, just don't get enough publicity. This group was founded about 11 years ago and has performed throughout the United States. They've performed on cruise ships, the Lincoln Center and Disney World. Way more exciting, IMO, than marching in the high school band!
