Thank you for the unexpected acts of human kindness

My brother, Andy Countryman, and I would like to thank the Leesburg community for their recent outpouring of support for us as we mourned the loss of our father, Charlie Countryman (1966-2010). Like many towns in southern Ohio, basketball is an integral part of life in the winter. This year was no different despite the recent loss of our father to pancreatic cancer just days prior to our highly anticipated contest, Peebles High School vs. Fairfield-Leesburg High School on Feb. 2, 2010. It was during this game that the most admirable acts of human kindness were revealed and we were once again reminded how blessed we are to be part of such a wonderful community.

A thank you note to Gary Lewis

Thank you, Gary Lewis. I believe the citizens owe you a thank you for being a City Auditor who cares for the way our city's monies are spent. In my opinion, our city would love to spend, spend, spend. Then when there's no more money left, raise taxes, so they can continue to spend.

Local woman thanks anonymous "angels" for clearing snow

Once again, the angels are out in the snow and cold. I walked down the driveway and thought to myself, "it's going to be a mess to drive out in the morning." But little did I know, those angels were out in the cold also. I didn't really see them, but they found the time once again to clean out the snow, so I would like to express my gratitude to the angels for their fine job. Thank you.
