911: Let’s look at all the options
By Bob Rhoades
I don’t always agree with Mike Stegall on things. On the other
hand when he is headed in the right direction we should all get behind
the cause and help in any way we can. Case in point: the 911
system. I hope that what I’ve seen written so far has been a
consensus vote from all three commissioners. But we don’t have those
facts. Number one thing Commissioner Mike told the Kiwanis last week
was that state funding might go away for 911. The one thing that we all
forget all the time is that State Money might go away for anything at
any time. So when we... Read

Ohio welcomes new protections against runaway government regulations
Throughout my time in the General Assembly, I have come to realize that
government often fails to use common sense in addressing state issues.
In 2008, the Regulatory Reform Task Force was assembled to gather
feedback from residents on how to better ease the constraints of state
government on the operations of business in Ohio. During the course of
eight public hearings... Read

|
Lady Hawks bow out
By George Starks
Brookville- When it comes to tournament play, a team’s record means
nothing. Case in point. Springfield Catholic Central of the Ohio
Heritage Conference, came into Tuesday’s with Mississinawa Valley with
a 5-15 mark. On the flip side, the Lady Hawks, Cross County Conference,
was sporting an 11-10 mark. At one point, MV was riding a six game

| NAISMITH INVENTED GAME IN 1891 |
Oh how the game has changed
By George Starks
In the 2012 basketball programs at the girl’s sectional tournament
sites, there is a list of basketball rules in the back of the program.
I found this to be very interesting and wanted to share it. Please
enjoy. These original 13 rules were the way Dr. James A. Naismith wrote
them. Dr. Naismith was the Canadian physical education instructor who
invented basketball in 1891. James Naismith was born in Almonte,
Ontario and educated... Read

President Fundraiser is on the move
by John Hayward
The Oval Office sits empty, as President Obama invests most of his time
in running for re-election. Even his “2013 budget proposal” was
nothing more than a campaign document. Any resemblance between
that proposal and a serious attempt to perform the duties of governing
was purely coincidental. And remember, his previous budgets were
equally... Read

THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23,
2012 |
Don’t
forget the LWV Ethics forum tonight. As a society I sometimes wonder if
we’ve forgotten what the word means. It could be an eye-opener for many
of us. Today in our lead article, Bob Rhoades tells us about a 911
option that Commissioner Mike didn’t mention. Was there a reason for
it? Inquiring minds want to know. Also in News: Paul Ryan: GOP primary should not be ‘personality contest.’ Events: AARP Driver Safety Class To be held Feb. 28. Blogs: Do Republicans Care About the Deficit or Not? Obituaries: James R. Schafer, Carol E. (Young) Flatter Jameson. For
