To the despicable cowards who dumped tbe bag of adorable kittens on Lake Rockwell Road the evening of October 5. You probably don't care that they weren't run over by a car and won't starve to death, wet and miserable. You don't care that they were found by someone who has already adopted three cats of their own and can't... 

Saturday's game between Akron and Kent State contained everything a rivalry of its magnitude is all about. The intensity, excitement, and emotion of the double-overtime thriller will be remembered for some time to come. Unfortunately, Kent State Head Coach Doug Martin was not able to take the loss admirably and instead left a foul taste in my...

After attending Kent City Council meeting, it is a shame that the council has their own agenda and does not have the best interest or the welfare of the community that they are supposed to be working for. Heads up Kentites, especially the 65% who work outside of the city. Council just voted to dip into your... 

I am appalled at how much portage county charges for a permit to dig a new well. My mom needs a new well... not only is it going to cost her 5-6,000 or more for the well, but the county charges 436.00 for a... 

A friend of mine lives in the Valley Hill trailer park. Thier electric went out with the storm and all night long the sewage from the entire park was allowed to run into Sandy Lake. Someone should be held responsible for the clean up of the poluted... 

The city has completred the work on West Main Street but did not finish the job. They forgot to do the southside of the street. They did not put in curbs and move the poles... 

It is not that Sheetz is a bad organization. But they do seem opportunistic and self-serving. It would be better if they considered the community. They need a bigger grassy area and more trees to screen their store from the future park and protect the river from... 

A teen boys' bike was tossed over my 5-foot high backyard fence last weekend. I turned it over to the Ravenna City Police. The officer indicated to me that it was probably stolen from the Ravenna Public...

"Pay grade' unartful dodge Smart money shouldn't be on Obama By Michael Graham Wednesday, August 20, 2008 "Well, uh, you know, I think that whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or, uh, a scientific perspective, uh, answering that question with specificity, uh, you know, is, is, uh, above my pay grade." - Sen. Barack Obama, on "When...

And I wish all the hapiness and luck... 

The people that live in the towns of Atwater and Randolph are extremely caring and compasionate. These 2 communities have had quite a few trying times with some local families over the past few years. Another crisis happened this past Tuesday/Wednesday and again, the communities came together to rally around another... 

I want to thank the Randolph Lions Club for putting a small deck on the back of our house for my husband to enjoy the sunshine. He is sometimes a prisoner in our home due to his paralysis, and my work schedule. My husband had a massive stroke almost 2 years ago due to a staph (MRSA)infection that went into...
