Paid Plasma Donation Center - Top Administrators Unaware?

Dayton Plasma Donation - Dayton Plasma Centers - The Business Of Plasma

I've been out and about, spreading the word to Dayton Precinct 4D about the upcoming FROC Priority Board Meeting, and have been finding out some shocking stuff.

I can't help but feel city planners really had no grand plan for the expansion of downtown in the first place.

That's the only way to explain these plans to put a Plasma Donation Center at 850 North Main.

I've also found that a lot of top administrators and board members are not being informed about this.

I ask someone on the 6th floor whether the mayor knows about this... He shrugs, and says he's not sure.

Really?

I'm not totally familiar with how information is supposed to flow between boards and administrations, but shouldn't the top policy makers/shapers be told about this at the beginning of the application process?

I hope we can sort this out.

See you on Wednesday, November 10th, 6pm, 903 Fairview.

Plasma Collection Facility - Upcoming Meetings - Opinions/Stories Needed!

Plasma Centers And Crime - Plasma Donation - Paid Plasma Facilities

Good afternoon!

So we're planning to show up in LARGE numbers to upcoming Priority Board Meetings (next one is Wed, Nov. 10th @ 6pm!), Planning Board Meetings, and City Commission Meetings.

Here is the flyer I've been handing out.

Below is what the site, 850 North Main Street, looks like as of Tue102610, 12pm.

For weeks, they were chugging along with construction.

After the planning board meeting, everyone disappeared from that property.

Good sign, maybe?



Again... November 10th is the next FROC priority board meeting.

I look forward to seeing all my neighbors.

I'd love to see 100 people there.

On a final note to this weblog entry... Below is a picture of a shopping cart in the river.

It has been there all summer/fall and it's driving me bananas.

I just put together a flyer inviting everyone to the FROC Priority Board Meeting!

The Plasma Issue might not be on the agenda, but we're going there to talk about plasma anyways.

More to come.

Plasma Collection Facility - More Reasons To Move It Somewhere Else

Money For Plasma - Plasma Donation - Plasma Donation and Crime

Greetings, board members, administrators, residents of Precinct 4D and web surfers who were looking for content about Paid Plasma Donation Businesses and their effects on communities.

First of all...

Here is a picture of a dog... obviously neglected.



We're getting the dog help.

Now, here is a video I started shooting when I noticed a little girl at the end of my block, totally unsupervised, without an adult in sight.

I was washing dishes when I noticed her through my kitchen window.

Thought nothing at first.

I got through a few plates... looked up... She's still there.

Got through the silverware... looked up... Still there... Still no adults in sight.

At this point it's been close to 10 minutes.

I run out to try to talk to her, and find whoever is responsible for her.

She looks like she could be underdeveloped mentally, and doesn't speak at all.

I run back in to grab the phone (and camera)...



Still with me?

Here is my point.

Foot traffic is bound to increase through our area between the proposed plasma center location and downtown.

This kid would have been a sitting duck, if a potential abductor were coming through.

Blame bad parents, but don't let the kid pay the consequences.

Boards, panels and administrators must make decisions in order to keep their community safe.

Now, about the proposed Plasma Center.

The public safety issue can not be overlooked.

Send this issue back to the priority board, so a now-informed public can voice its collective opinion.

More to come.

Thanks for reading.

Plasma Collection Facilities are not moving... They're competing...

Dayton Plasma - The Business Of Plasma - Plasma Centers - Plasma and Crime

Hello again...

WDTN 2 News On Your Side is following the story about CSL Plasma's plan to bring a plasma collection facility to the Riverdale neighborhood at 850 N. Main Street.



I loved the coverage and the interview with Ken Smiley of Ken's Kars, although I must point out that the plans are not to relocate a plasma center from Helena St... but to build a whole new facility.

In fact, a new facility in Riverdale would be competing with the other ones around town.

Plasma Collection is important.

Plasma donation is not just blood donation.

Plasma, when extracted from the blood, appears yellow.

It contains all kinds of proteins, nutrients and other good stuff used to make vaccines.

So it saves lives! (oh, and it is VERY lucrative... just booming... I mean a HUGE business)

But the other end is that they "reportedly" attract violence and drug activity, due to their locations, designs and disregard for the communities in which they do business.

I don't believe all reports, but I believe these.

What do you get when you place a bunch of desperate people (some of whom are drug addicts) in a small room and make them wait for three hours for money? - I don't know, but I know it's probably safer with medical professionals, nurses, staff and security everywhere.

CSL, Change the culture of these places, and you could change the plasma collection business!

I recall a planning board member saying that this could work if CSL Behring and the city can find a way to "integrate" the business into the community.

I totally agree, but look at the shack they have planned.

That's not going to integrate or improve the community.

How about a large facility, with huge waiting rooms, multiple stories and offices for other businesses.

If the idea were pitched that way, CSL Behring could get away with the permitted use exemption.

Instead, it appears the company wants to set up shop as quickly and as cheaply as possible in order to begin collecting plasma.

They are saving lives... at our expense...

Start the entire application process over, and involve the public.

Nandy, out.

Plasma Donation Center... I just realized something

Crime Near Plasma Centers - Paid Plasma Donation - Plasma Community Issues

Here is what I realized about this blog-update-newsletter thing of ours.

No one in my neighborhood has easy access to the internet!

So what good does the blog do them? Hopefully lots, and here's why:

I am looking for input from professors, sociology experts and anyone who has something to say about paid plasma donation centers and their effects on communities.



So I'm just looking to create a little noise to make sure this is done the right way.

Riverdale needs its say.

What about a giant facility with waiting rooms, elevators, tons of security.. something bigger and better that competes with the skyline, spur development of other healthcare businesses.

But if all we're getting is a plasma shack... the plans need to go somewhere else.

The above photo is from earlier this morning.

First Post About Plasma Center Plans...

Dayton Plasma Centers - Social Ills? - Sociology

Greetings.

I'm Ben Nandy, and I'm running for Priority Board.

My precinct is 4D.

The planning board is considering the design of a proposed plasma collection facility at 850 North Main Street, the former site of "Cream," "Rain" and other favorites.



We had a planning board meetings last night, brought some people, got some media, and the board tabled the meeting until a month from now.

I'm on the go today, and I'll be updating more, coming to your homes to interview you for our film, (someone give me an idea for a title!), and flyering the neighborhoods.

My new sidekick through-out all of this will be Talmadge... my 60-year-old, diabetic, possibly alcoholic, yet very peaceful neighbor who lives in a bed-bug infested basement apartment down the street from me.

He'll be running the camera when we do interviews, as well as flyering the neighborhoods!

I'll be back soon with more info....

Here's a picture of the site.
