STEUBENVILLE - Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, has once again made arrangements to visit Steubenville.
Kerry had originally planned a stop Aug. 20, but he canceled the visit because of reported scheduling conflicts. That visit has been rescheduled, according to John Abdalla, head of the Jefferson County Democratic Party, who said he had spoken with members of Kerry's campaign about the visit.
Abdalla and Dan Trevas, communications director for the Ohio Democratic Party, said Kerry will make an appearance at the Fort Steuben Visitor's Center on Third Street between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday. Abdalla also said Kerry's campaign members have indicated the presidential hopeful would like to be able to trap shoot in the area if his schedule allows.
"I know he's an avid sportsman. I'd heard last time he was looking for shooting opportunities," said Trevas.
Bob Hickle, owner of the Island Creek Sporting Clay business on Jefferson County Road 56, said he was contacted two weeks ago by local Democratic representatives to see whether Kerry would be able to trap shoot there.
"I told them 'Oh no,'" Hickle said.
Hickle said the representatives indicated Kerry wanted to shoot and use the event as a photo and campaign opportunity. Hickle said the Democratic representatives thought he would be supportive of Kerry's campaign since he is a pipefitter, union laborer and a Vietnam veteran. But Hickle said he does not support Kerry.
"I told them he (Kerry) could come and shoot, but he couldn't use it as a campaign vehicle," he said.
Kerry has been campaigning at various sites around the area including Wheeling, Pittsburgh and Youngstown.
"We're just delighted to have him back in the state," Trevas said. "I think it just shows the importance of Eastern Ohio in this election. Eastern Ohioans have put their lives into their jobs and are seeing little in return under the Bush administration."
Kerry is wearing yellow flowers on his swimsuit?
Bush is coming to NE Ohio on Sat. FYI
Actually, I think he's wearing one of Teresa's skirts in that photo.
How much do you want to bet this guy is a triple threat for Kerry? Pro-2nd ammendment, Nam Vet who remembers Kerry's traitorous post-war activities, and a member of Steubenville's large pro-life Catholic population?
The Tri-State Trap Shooting Championships will be held this Saturday, Sunday and Monday at Brooke County Sportsman's and Farmers Association in Wellsburg, WV. If he enjoys shooting so much, maybe he should show up there.
"come on down to SW Ohio where conservatives are welcome and the economy is doing fine. correlation anyone?"
I went to the University of Dayton, undergrad, and it was like night and day to Youngstown, albeit with the liberal scourge of any university. Now, in Texas, a more conservative area, it's even better, (albeit with the really, really liberal scourge at University of Texas).

If Kerry gets in I bet this guy will be on the "audit" list.
Oh, maybe even more than that. The Holland and Holland website lists it's "Royal" over and under for $104,807.87, or it's "more affordable" "Sporting" over and under for a mere $57,081.21...
But yes, you're right the prices can & do go UP from there.
LOL!
Was that Full Choke, Modified, or Improved Cylinder?
(Little shotgun humor there!)
BUMP!
hmmmm....
If Kerry gets in - with the trial lawyer king Edwards - few gun businesses will be able to afford staying in business. Most will be buried by the restrictive laws Kerry has promised to the anti-gun lobby and bankrupted by the expansion of rules for civil lawsuits that Edwards will deliver to the trial lawyer lobby.
Wow, this is BAD news for Bush. If Kerry gets the Steubenville vote, he'll only need 11,000 more cities and towns to have 5 Electoral College votes. That will only leave him 265 delegates away from the WH!!
This is going to make the election too close to call!!
(YES!!! I AM being sarcastic!!)
John Edwards: Today, under George W. Bush, there are two Americas, not one:Yeah.
#1: Decent folks. CLICK:#2: Lowlifes.
Yes, my husband and I were there, along with freeper madelinezapeezda. It was fantastic! We were in the upper level seats, and so couldn't shake hands, but my husband swears Dubya looked right in our direction when he blew a kiss, just before departing the arena. What also was great was seeing at the rally several people associated with local colleges WLSC and BC, where the faculties are mostly liberal.
New nickname instead of Lurch: John "Ed" Kerry. The windsurfing at Nantucket is totally decent, I must say!
