Life at the end of the wire
To the editor:
Stopped at the light at High and Main, on the way to the grocery store, I noted that every single driver going through the intersection, was using a cell phone. At the store, I observed a woman in one aisle talking into a cell phone while yanking down items from the shelf. Later, she was ahead of me in the check-out line, still talking and paying no attention to the cashier. I saw her wheel out her cart, load the items in her minivan, get in and drive off, continuously talking into her phone.

Tree removal angers Paint Township residents
To the Editor:
On Sept. 5, 2009 my husband and I heard chain saws, close chain saws. This tree removal service was on our property on Spargur Lane cutting down our trees. They told us they were cutting and clearing for the Paint Township trustees. We asked them to stop while we frantically tried to reach the trustees. They refused.  That day by quitting time, they had cut 50 trees from our road frontage and hauled away our wood. This was all done without our permission or any discussion. My husband told them it was our wood and we wanted it but to no avail.
