    What a glorious weekend for football, etc.

    The Cumberland family is rightfully proud of the accomplishments of Jarron and Jaevin. While I have met Jarron, I can’t say that I am familiar with the younger generation. They are young and I am no longer young. And I don’t need my kids reminding me of this reality. “Both Jaevin and Jarron have accomplished a lot,” Mark Cumberland told The Highland County Press. “The family is very proud of their accomplishments.”

    What goes around, comes around
    As you know, at the end of the day, it is what it is. I know, right? One headline, two sentences and five of the most overused clichés of our time. We’re all guilty, too. I am. You are. They are.

    Solemn observances and respecting flags at half-staff
    I remember and most likely always will remember where I was on September 11, 2001. I will suppose that most of you remember as well.

    County fairs, politics and country music
    County fair season in southern Ohio, by tradition, also gets the political season under way. The proximity of the two, no doubt, lends itself to the binary association.

    State taxes, state spending and state parks
    This family passed us on the downhill side of Route 374, on a road not intended for pedestrian traffic. At Fairview Road, the brake lights came on and this full-sized, dual cab pickup began backing up this narrow hillside highway. Surely, they are not taking pity on us, are they? Yup. They're taking pity on us. Maybe it was a mirage.

    Clyde Pidcock, 'The Ole Trapper' dies at 95

    Let there be no doubt, he was part of America's Greatest Generation. He was a World War II veteran of the U.S. Navy. He was a Hall of Fame mink trapper, an independent business owner, an author and a first-class gentleman. Godspeed, W. Clyde Pidcock.
