Father and Son Continue Internet Business Expansion Further mergers and expansion into Web Hosting business Clearwater, Florida 2004 – Thomas and Steven Remington continue their expansion of internet business by now offering web hosting. Over the past years the two entrepreneurial geniuses have created several internet businesses and have developed them into successful enterprises. Many of those entities have merged to become bigger and better to serve their customers needs. As Steven grows, his businesses flourish. His parent company, WithChrist.com, continues to grow at an exponential rate. Subsidiary companies of WithChrist.com now include: Remington Solutions – a web design and marketing company and now the formation of a new company called “WithChrist Webhosting”. His web hosting company offers several packages to meet the demands of every size business and individual sites at prices that are extremely competitive. His father will assist him in his efforts and offer accounting support and online technical assistance as well. The brainchild of Steven, Maine Hunting Today, has grown at a rate that neither he nor his dad ever expected. In only a period of about six months, their online hunting and outdoor magazine has generated around 30,000 hits per month. “We are now finding that people and businesses are coming to us”, says Steven, “We have always and continue to today, spent time going and searching for stories and advertising.” It was the dream of both Steven and Tom for Maine Hunting Today to become a resource for people interested in reading real stories from the average hunter or fisherman as well as the polished articles from professional writers, and a place to find news about every area of North America, links to outfitters and guides and a general resource of anything to do with the outdoors. The future plans call for continued growth of Maine Hunting Today and a direct link to The Grey Ghost Trading Post –one of Tom’s businesses- that will give the readers a place to purchase items related to hunting, fishing and the entire outdoors. We will continue to bring you all the latest news and stories about the success and growth of Steven’s new business. Maine Man Creates Parent Company Bangor, Maine 2004 – Steven Remington of Bangor, Maine has incorporated his internet ventures under one umbrella of a parent company that has been named SRemington.com. With his creation of several online enterprises, he felt it necessary for him to form an actual unified presence to market and promote his businesses. Several years ago while living in Columbus, Ohio Steven began a simple message board for people who were looking for a place to go and talk about spiritual things. Since that time he has developed an online ministry called WithChist.com. WithChrist.com is a complete and expansive locale for people who want to partake of a Christian experience. It offers Bible studies, forums, journal writing, education, its own instant messenger for chatting with friends and you can even get your own email account as well. In addition to WithChrist.com he is the founder of Maine Hunting Today an E-magazine for the outdoorsman. Maine Hunting Today is a hunting, fishing and general outdoor magazine full of stories, news, education and links to many essential websites that will help the reader find all they need to recreate in the great outdoors. The backbone of the magazine is to accept, with some editing assistance from its staff, stories from real people. Steven believed that many of the sport and outdoor magazines that we read are filled with great stories from professional writers. He wanted something with a bit of a twist and felt strongly that outdoors people wanted to read about what people just like themselves are experiencing. Says Steven, “Some of the stories we get are very good in content but sometimes a bit short in the grammar and structure. We have to dress them up a bit, but we do stay with the basic story.” Every day the number of regular readers to his new magazine grows. His staff includes an assistant editor in chief Tom Remington, a photographer; Milt Inman, and regular contributing writers as well as a chef that provides interesting recipes for that wild game. With all of the web development that Steven has been doing in his creation of such enterprises, he decided he might as well put his talents to work for himself and he began a web design and marketing company called Remington Solutions. He said that he realized right off that there was a need for low cost web design for people other than large corporations and that many individuals and small companies don’t have the personnel to do any design or internet marketing. Many times the costs are quite prohibitive and a lot of small businesses opt out of the internet. As anyone can imagine, Steven is a busy man with these three thriving online businesses and in addition to all of this he is working to promote a book that he co-authored with his father Tom. “The Legend of Grey Ghost and Other Tales From the Maine Woods” was released in May of 2003. It is selling in bookstores nationwide and can be purchased at all online bookstores as well as Steven and Tom’s own websites- www.sremington.com and www.kenton6.com . With all these ventures, Steven decided it was time to incorporate all of them under one umbrella and so he has formed the parent company of SRemington.com. From this one website he will promote and market all of his enterprises. This will help to cut down the costs of marketing and streamline his efforts to make them more productive. Cyrus Cole On Politics – Fiction 2004 The following is a fictitious interview that staff writer Thomas Remington had with a man named Cyrus Cole. With the upcoming election and all the nasty rhetoric already flying around about who’s lying and who’s not, we thought the perspective of a man who has lived through more than most of us would be enlightening if not entertaining. Tom: Can I ask you, sir, when you were born and where? Cy: Yup. I was born on July 4, 1919 in Ketchum, Maine. Tom: Did you have brothers and sisters? Cy: Yup. I had six older brothers and 12 older sisters. I was the baby. Tom: So Mr. Cole, if my calculations are correct you have been alive through 16 Presidents. Do you remember all or most of them? Cy: Yup. Except I was too young to know personally about Woodrow Wilson. I was only one and a half when he left office and I was still very young while Calvin Coolidge was in office. Tom: What do you remember specifically about politics back as far as you can remember? Cy: The one thing I remember most was politics among the people wasn’t so nasty and disrespectful. If someone from decided to serve in politics they were treated with great respect and they were admired for what they did and more importantly for the reason they did it. Tom: Do you think our politicians today are less ethical and immoral than years ago? Cy: Yup. Oh, we had our scandals. People are only human and sometimes they don’t think clearly when making some decisions. Many people thought of President Harding as the most scandalous President our country has ever had. Tom: And why is that? Cy: What he did with the Navy’s oil reserves in Wyoming wasn’t a very good thing to do and it was only the beginning of what happens when Presidents feel they owe somebody something because they helped him get elected. Tom: I assume you are talking about special interest group and large financial contributors. Do you really feel that this sort of campaign contributions have that kind of effect on how our country is governed? Cy: Yup. We can say all the things that sound good about it but we all know that if your neighbor bought you a new axe for no reason at all other than to be nice, you would feel beholding to him. Works the same way here. We are only human and humans feel the need to pay somebody back to return a kind deed. Tom: What would you do differently? Cy: Don’t allow it. If people have that kind of money to spend, they should do something useful with it; like help their neighbor in need. This is America and all Americans should be able to become President if they want. Tom: Who else do you remember for Presidents and some of the things they did? Cy: I do remember when I was 9, I heard my Daddy talking to someone about “Silent Cal”. I guess that was a nickname they gave to Calvin Coolidge. Seems to me all my Daddy and his friends did was talk about what Mr. Coolidge did and said. I still don’t know why they called him “Silent Cal”. You know Herbert Hoover was a Quaker. A lot of people don’t know that. He graduated from Stanford University as an engineer. I didn’t think an engineer could be smart enough to be a President. People always said that we needed a good man in Washington. I don’t know if that ever happened but I think FDR might a come the closest. I say that because it seems every politician that came after him wanted to brag about and take credit for everything he done. “Give em hell Harry” was an outspoken man. He was a farmer from Kansas, I think, and he pretty much told you what was on his mind. Tom: What is it do you think, that makes politics and politicians so much different today than when you were young? Cy: Well, there’s a lot of things. Greed is big one. Seems that people will do most anything for a dollar. This thing they call political correctness is tearing us apart. It ain’t right to say bad things about people no matter if it’s true or not. It only hurts but we got to be able to laugh at ourselves. People take too many things too serious. Tom: Do you think people today are disrespectful? Cy: Yup. When I was disrespectful as a kid, my Daddy took me out back of the barn and gave me a whooping. No one does that anymore. Kids got to be shown wrong from right. It seems there is nothing that is wrong anymore. I watched Mr. Bush’s State of the Union address the other night and the whole room was filled with disrespect. There was booing and hissing, there were all kinds of expressions of disrespect on the faces of a lot of them and I don’t think Harry Truman would have put up with that. And we wonder why our kids talk back and don’t show proper respect. Tom: But why are they disrespectful? Cy: They ain’t being taught right and I don’t mean by the schools. Schools are supposed to teach kids reading and writing and that stuff not how to act and why. That’s the parent’s job and they ain’t doing it. I don’t know which came first the chicken or the egg but I think people know too much about everybody’s business. I remember we used to sit around and listen to the radio. We mostly listened to entertainment stuff and we heard the news. News was news. I mean news was something that had already happened and was being reported as fact. News ain’t that no more. It’s speculation. It’s a bunch of people sitting around talking about what might happen and who they ought to blame if it does. Don’t make any sense to me. People are just allowed to say whatever they want; and say it with disrespect. These people are our leaders and should set an example; at least a good one anyways. Tom: So getting back to the question, are you saying that the media is responsible for all the disrespect? Cy: Yup. At least they share the blame with all the rest of us. They are very powerful and they know it. People want to believe what they hear and they aren’t being told facts and the facts that are told are from a biased point of view. Tom: Let’s change the topic a little bit here. What do you think of President Bush? Cy: In what way? Tom: As a politician. Cy: He’s doing a pretty good job. He is doing what he believes is right but I think he feels he owes too many people and it gets in his way. Tom: As a person, what do you think? Cy: Hard to say. I don’t really know him but I think his heart is good and he wants to do what he thinks would please God and that makes a lot of people mad. Tom: Why do you think it makes them mad? Cy: I think mostly out of guilt but they won’t tell you that. They start talking about separation of church and state. God was part of our country when it was founded, I don’t know why we want to kick him out of it now. I think the intentions of our founding fathers was to make sure our government did tell us how to worship. Tom: If you could change one thing in politics or this country today, what would it be? Cy: I don’t know. That is a hard question. I think life was supposed to be simple. I don’t know of many things anymore that are simple. We are all in a hurry and we can’t make enough money. I don’t know where it will stop. We need to get some of our priorities straightened around a bit but if I could change anything, I would change the heart of a man. But I’m not God.
