Joe Ball 60 Years In Biz
Joe Ball 60 Years — We’d like to note that 2016 marks the 60th year that Joe Ball of American News Service in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. has been an entrepreneur and business owner.
His ventures have included advertising agency, newspaper and book publishing, and radio.
“My son-in-law, Rob Meyers, an entrepreneur himself, put the aforementioned in perspective recently when said to me: ‘You’ve had a good run!'” Ball says.
He is providing these tips for those interested in entrepreneurship:
Be yourself
Have a sense of humor
Compromise
Be honest
Hire and work with smart people
Persevere
Do not hear the first “No”
Read newspaper & books
Give before you get
Best contacts are person-to-person
Invest disposable income
Say “Thank you”
Be a doer – – and do it now
Exercise
Do things in moderation
Live in today
Find an occupation where you look forward to your day. (I tell people: “I haven’t worked a day in my life”)
Your ideas ideas/goals mean zero, unless you put them into being
He notes that he is still the first one in the office and last to leave.

Alex Rahn Likes Dems Too
Alex Rahn Likes Dems Too — We reported, yesterday, that Republican-controlled Chester County’s new $86,470 per year director of voter services has been a strong supporter of liberal Democrats.
What we missed, though, is that Kara Rahn’s husband, the GOP chairman for Area 1, had also been giving to the Ds as well. It’s because William Alex Rahn wrote the checks with his rarely used first name.
Why does someone use different names to make political donations? Rahn has made donations as “William A. Rahn Jr.” “William Rahn” and as “Alex Rahn.” And why would someone sympathetic to Democrat causes become a Republican Party leader? And why would those whom he is leading tolerate it?
Anyway, under the name Alex, Rahn donated $3,100 to Citizens for Arlen Specter in 2010 after Specter crossed to the other side of the aisle. Under the name William, Rahn that same year gave $2,400 to Sestak for Senate.
You really must not like Pat Toomey, Alex. Or is it William? You know Toomey’s running for re-election this year, right? You think you can back him this time?
As Willliam, Rahn chipped in $1,880 in 2012 for the campaign of Democrat New Jersey Congressman Rob Andrews.
Since then he’s been a party boy, giving $250 to Congressman Pat Meehan’s campaign in 2014 as William — seriously cheap William — and $1,000 to Congressman Ryan Costello as Alex.
Costello is no Rob Andrews it seems.
Rahn also that year as William kicked in a grand for embattled, scandal-plagued RINO Congressman Bill Shuster on the other side of the state.
He has no donations recorded as of yet for 2016 under either name.
Rahn is reputed to be the mastermind behind the purge attempt of Republican grassroots activists from the Chester County GOP.
Which gets us to the latest. A hearing date for the planned purging of four “for the people” Area 19 committeepeople — including Chairwoman Jane Ladley — by the Lobby Lobby that controls West Chester now seems solid.
It will be 7 p.m., Feb. 11 at county Republican headquarters, 15 S. Church St. West Chester, Pa. 19382.
