Honor flight, W.W.II Memorial were memorable
Everyone was up early, me at 4:30 a.m. But, Chuck Sontelli, BGSU professor, was up at 4 a.m. and at my house two hours later to get me to the terminal at Toledo Express Airport. The Toledo Honor Guard volunteers did not want any veteran to have to drive. Thus I was picked up.

Only Congress has the authority to pass laws that govern and regulate, not the President. Congress has ...

As I headed home late that night I started thinking about how, when I voted in the levy to build the new high school to help the children of t ...

It's time for teacher contract resolution
As the parent of a fourth grader, I urge the school board to avoid a teacher's strike, which would be disastrous for our children and community.

Politicians shutting down entire industry
It's almost laughable to hear politicians and activists talk about Issue 5 and payday lending. They're in a competition to see who can sound more pious and self-righteous, and it's like hearing Britney Spears talk about the virtues of responsible parenting. I'd laugh if it weren't so insulting. Th ...
