The latest U.S. census has been taken and the city of Hillsboro should have received the proclamation from the Ohio Secretary of State stating the city's official population.

Regulation should tie risk to responsibility. It would motivate producers to be proactive to avoid risks to others. When there is very little accountability, such as in my situation, there is less motivation to operate responsibly.

What kind of future does a country that puts people who believe that government is inherently bad in charge of government have to look forward to? If you want government to work, put people who believe that it can work in charge. If you want to ensure government failure put people who want it to fail in charge.

The Hillsboro Lions Club would like to thank the community for supporting our “Lions Recycle for Sight” program.

I know that I am in the minority in Highland County. But for the life of me I cannot understand why the residents of the county are so supportive of conservatives and national Republicans.

The family of Gerald A. Newman wishes to thank Drs. Gunderman and Melink for their tender loving care; Thompson Funeral Home for efficient service; pastor Ken Woleab for comforting words; and Beverly Grover and Cindy Eigel for beautiful music.

To Mr. Meade and Mr. Strickland, I wish there were more people out there like you, like my neighbors, Dawn and Mick Smith, who would do anything for you, too. Again, thank you, God bless you, and I hope others learn from your example and not wait until it's too late to tell you how much we do appreciate you.

To the Editor:

     I have been told lately that there is a possibility of discrimination against those who have opposed the fire inspections.  I had an online version that citizens could electronically sign.  I have since disabled it to hopefully stop this persecution.  I have made backups of all the online elements and copies if litigation were ever needed.

Many of us vote for all the wrong reasons. We vote because he/she's a Democrat. We vote because he/she's a Republican. We vote because someone else said he was a good guy, because he's cute, because of his last name, his race, his/her gender. Very few vote because we truly understand the issues and where our politician stands.
