Elect new Waterloo board members
I had the opportunity to hear the candidates up for Waterloo school board. As far as I'm concerned only three presented themselves to be worthy of a vote. The incumbents avoided directly answering the questions that were asked of them. One even... 
Windham/Garrettsville game
I just want everyone to know that the high and mighty in Garrettsville showed their true colors last night at the Windham/Garrettsville football game. After beating the Bombers, the G-ville student section proceeded to plant their flag in the middle of... 
Possible cost to Computerize Streetsboro Schools
Well let's ponder this for a moment and this is at this time a theory, speculation or hypothesis. It may be close to being accurate, specially the cost of the computers while other parts are conjecture. First let's look at what we are paying now.... 
What should we cut in Streetsboro?
Well, looking over the the Potential Cost Savings the district published in the paper, let's see, Eliminate the Tutors for we can pay for that through alternate funding, eliminating that expense from the General Fund, I'd expand the federal funds as... 
Health Department Levy
There is nothing more important in our County as the Portage County Health Department. This is a crucial operation that we truly need and it amazes me we won't approve a levy for them. Their services to our community are required. They help in the... 
Issue 2 a Trojan Horse
If you are anything like me, probably the only thing you know about State Issue 2 is from the $5 million in warm & fuzzy TV ads run by it's proponents, Big Agriculture in Ohio. After reading this legislation, I can tell you it is a... 
Field Schools
As community member and taxpayer I am concerned about the growing animosity between the Field teachers and Field administration, specifically some of the comments being made in recent sound off columns. Many thoughts come to mind; the most obvious being...

Where's the Frugal Part
This is going to be a long one folks and I expect the normal rhetoric telling me so will follow in the posts. I've read a lot of longer ones browsing the web. Some over 300 pages. So, if you don't want to read it I suggest you stop here. On the... 
Judicial Candidates
People should not attend a fund raiser for a judicial candidate that shows up to candidate nights with a strong odor of alcoholic beverages on his breath. The largest case load in municipal court is DUI. Makes you think,... 
Inmate Marriage Granted
I surely do not understand the judicial system in Portage County. On August 5th of this year, Bradley Wagner was driving a car that wreck killing one person and severely injuring the other. Brad fled the scene of the wreck and hid from the police to... 
southeast vaccination refusal
It seems like the Superintendant of the Southeast Local School is looking for notiriety. I wonder what he would think of those parents who let the professionals do their job during the polio vaccinations of the 1950's. Its true some children cried but... 
Follow up on unfair coaches
On September 11 2009, my letter to the editor was published in the newspaper. I would like to say I am sorry if I upset the coaches of my grandson's team. I am not sorry for writing the letter though. I think that there was a big improvement in how they... 
Great idea Aurora. Waste our cash
Why in the world are they wasting money widening Rt 43? I know it's part of Obama's great plan, but really? The only reason for a 4 lane road there was to accomodate Geauga Lake and Sea World but as usual in the state of Ohio our govt waited until it... 
Shame on the City of Kent!
For not putting up a warning sign for the HUGE piece of missing concrete on 43, near where Fairchild intersects. THERE IS NO WARNING! I was not speeding and woud have slowed down to a crawl had I been able to see that big patch of gravel, followed by a... 
Are children of Field Schools valued by community?
Children in the Field School System would like to have an opportunity to learn and excel in school. I believe in the principal "you reap what you sow." I would like to thank all the hard working staff at the school that have poured their lives... 
Outraged by GHS Administration
I've always believed the Garrettsville school district to be an excellent one. Not only do we have great educators and support staff that are willing to go above and beyond to help or children, but the entire administration has always had the welfare of... 
Field Schhols
As a parent who had one child graduated from and one child still attending Field Schools, I amd both disappointed and angry with the district. I have been a supporter of the teachers for many years, and will continue to be, and it angers me to see the...
