Public Officials: Beware succumbing to human bias
By Jan Boyer, Senior Scribe
“Hiring a relative can be a felony,” stated Susan Willeke of the Ohio
Ethics Commission when she spoke to her audience on the subject of
Ethics in Political Office Thursday evening at the League of Women
Voters educational presentation. She continued that long gone are
the days when the wife of the newly elected sheriff automatically
became the jail matron. Hiring a member of your family: father, mother,
grandfather, grandmother, son, daughter, grandchildren, brother, sister
or any relative living in one’s home, is today considered a
felony. In defining... Read

“It’s not me,” says Don Wright
By Bob Robinson
“Somebody’s using my name and saying dumb stuff on one of those blogs
we got here,” Don Wright said as soon as he answered his phone. I was
subbing Friday and had a message from Don to call him back when I left

| LACK OF INTENSITY NOTED BY COACH |
Lions no match for Patriots
By George Starks
TROY- First game sectional jitters for any team aren’t unusual. Even
for the best of teams. Saturday, it was no different for Tri-Village in
its opening game against Emmanuel Christian at Troy. Getting off to a
slow start in the first quarter, Tri-Village held a slim 22-12 after
one frame. That 10 point advantage bloomed into an 83-48 victory over
the Lions. Led by Shade Brubaker, 23 points... Read

"TOUGH WAY TO LOSE A GAME"

Jets push hard; fall short
By George Starks
TROY- Senior Jaden Horner did his best to will Franklin Monroe to a
first round sectional victory over Southeastern. Trailing by as much as

play, Horner drained his second trey of the quarter, closing the gap to
a point as the Jets trailed 42-41. That would be as close as Franklin
Monroe would get... Read
