Thank you for your comments. Crow Wing 1 Heinen County believes that properly regulated short- term rental licensing will minimize public safety risks and nuisances and enhance environmental protection without negatively affecting the positive values and attributes associated with their use. The goals of this licensing were to adopt sensible and enforceable regulations that ensure that short-term renting remains an attractive option for property owners while also preserving the residential integrity of neighborhoods. 11/23/19 Paula As a resident next to a Vacation rental, these rules need to be stiffer.

In the past, Nike has dealt with a number of celebrity sponsorship scandals where the media has shone a negative light on the brand in response to the actions of its sponsored athletes. These issues include, celebrities such as Lance Armstrong in 2012 after his doping scandal, Tiger Woods after his extramarital affairs, Marion Jones after issues with ‘performance-enhancing drugs’ (Sydney Morning Herald), Justin Gatlin after using testosterone and Michael Vick after being involved in dog-fighting. These scandals have reflected poorly on Nike as a brand, by the athletes they have chosen to represent their brand. In addition to these scandals, Nike is currently facing another celebrity sponsorship scandal involving Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius after being charged with the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp on Tuesday the 14th of February, 2013. -

Comparing Caster Semenya and Oscar Pistorius
Journal of Global Citizenship & Equity Education Volume 4 Number 1 - 2014 journals.sfu.ca/jgcee Identity Politics and Global Citizenship in Elite Athletics: Comparing Caster Semenya and Oscar Pistorius Amanda Danielle Watson Ph.D. Candidate Institute of Women's Studies University of Ottawa Heather Hillsburg Postdoctoral Fellow Lakehead University Lori Chambers Professor Lakehead University Keywords: elite athletics, identity politics, Olympic Games, global citizenship, Caster Semenya, Oscar Pistorius, exaltation ABSTRACT: This paper emerges from the body of theory that considers the mega-event of the Olympic Games as a site of citizenship education, where citizenship is negotiated, learned, regulated, and performed for television viewers. As a site of global citizenship recognition, the mega-event of the Olympic Games, including the embodied participation of Olympic athletes, offers a rich venue through which we can understand the ways in which host nations, spectators, sponsors, and fans exalt and admonish particular citizenship performances. In this comparative feminist media analysis of the cases of athletes Caster Semenya and Oscar Pistorius, we map the ways in which categories of identity, including race, gender, and class, are mobilized in discussion of these athletes as more-or-less deserving Olympic athlete-citizens. Using discursive media analysis as a methodology, we focus on the framing of each athlete by the anonymous commentary of ordinary fans on a popular international track-and- field website called LetsRun. We suggest that citizenship theorists take seriously how hierarchies of power are enforced along intersectional lines of race, class, and gender, and ultimately contend that the disparate treatment of these athletes, as evidenced in fan commentary, extends and interrogates theories of exalted citizenship on the world stage. -

The State Vs Oscar Pistorius: a Critical Analysis of the Court of Public Opinion
The State vs Oscar Pistorius: a critical analysis of the court of public opinion Abraham Gert van der Vyver1 1School of IT, Monash, South Africa The court of public opinion has undergone a revolutionary makeover since the advent of the social media. These changes have seldom been more clearly reflected than in the reaction of the public and the media during the Oscar Pistorius trail. On 3 March 2014, Oscar Pistorius, a leading South African runner, who competed at the Paralympic games and the 2012 Summer Olympics went on trial for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. In the early morning of Thursday, 14 February 2013, Steenkamp was shot and killed by Pistorius at his Pretoria home. Pistorius said that he mistook her for an intruder. On 25 February 2014, the High Court in Pretoria ruled that the entire trial may be broadcast live via audio and that parts of the trial may be broadcast live via television, namely the opening and closing arguments, the testimony of consenting state witnesses, the judgment, and the sentencing if applicable. A large part of the trail was thus televised as “reality television.” Cyberspace was turned into a court of public opinion with Facebook and Twitter carrying millions of comments. Experts and laypersons enthusiastically participated in the debate in cyberspace. The researcher conducted purposive sampling of tweets collected from the #Oscar Pistorius handle during the trail. He qualitatively compared the input from members of the formal media with those of citizen journalists. The results of this analysis are embedded in this paper. Keywords—Citizen journalism, Court of public opinion, professional journalism, Twitter. -

Sports and Disability
Focused Review Sports and Disability Pamela E. Wilson, MD, Gerald H. Clayton, PhD Abstract: Participation in recreational and competitive sports at an early age has long been touted as a positive influence on growth and development, and for fostering lifelong healthy lifestyles. The benefits of an active lifestyle include not only fitness, but the promotion of a sense of inclusion and improved self-esteem. These benefits are well documented in all populations, and their importance has been summarized in the recent Healthy People 2010 guidelines. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recently produced a summary state- ment on the benefits of activity for disabled children. They note that children with disabilities tend to have an overall lower level of fitness and an increased level of obesity. For this population, developing a lifelong desire to be active can be a simple means for limiting illness and much of the morbidity associated with sedentary lifestyles often associated with disability. For disabled youth, participation in disabled sports programs available nationally and internationally can be an effective means to promote such precepts. The goal of this focused review is to improve the learner’s knowledge of the positive impact that active lifestyles can have on overall health in the disabled youth population and, as a result, modify their practice by incorporating recreational and competitive sport activities as part of improving overall patient care. PM R 2010;2:S46-S54 INTRODUCTION In examining the impact that sports and recreation can have on habilitation and rehabilita- tion, consider a very talented young athlete who woke up one morning unable to move her lower extremities. -
