  • Let the Sun Shine in

    "Public records requests, and the speed and accuracy of the response, is a pretty good indicator of the honesty of the official and/or department inquired upon."

  • Plastic politicians, rocket launches and a good vacation
    Today’s voters usually opt for the pretty boys over the men of character and integrity. One question, though: If Washington politics today is so well-stocked with Ken dolls, is it too much to ask – with respect to gender equity – for a few women politicians who look more like Barbie?

  • Kudos to Toby Warrington; com-fort-a-ble shoes, and more CVB questions
    Since last Christmas, I have worn the same pair of work boots every day. I wear them to work. I wear them to board meetings. I wear them to restaurants. If I were a frequent church-goer, I’d probably wear them to church. I like them. They are com-fort-a-ble shoes.

  • Get to know Pam Limes on March 3
    In a few days, there will be a great opportunity to meet an outstanding – and bona fide – resident of Hillsboro who has aspirations of being the next mayor of Highland County’s county seat. Her name is Pam Limes. And if you have not met her, you may do so from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, March 3 at the Hillsboro Elks Lodge.

  • Reality TV show discussed in rural Ohio county
    “ANYONE can have his own Reality TV Show today. It’s really that easy.”

    “Are you serious?” I asked.

    “Yes!” the twosome answered in unison. “You’ve heard of some things being tougher than Chinese calculus.
    Well, getting a Reality TV Show is easier than Chinese checkers.”

  • Rob Portman for president in 2016
    For Rob Portman – or anyone else – to win 82 of Ohio’s 88 counties against former Lt. Gov. Fisher is, indeed, politically impressive. (This was not, to be sure, a campaign like Kasich's against The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.)

  • Recollections over a 'Y' fish sandwich
    One of the things I always enjoy about having breakfast or – as was the case tonight – an early dinner at the Y is that you never know who you might bump into. On this particular evening, we bumped into Bob Semple, a Winchester resident and a former Adams County commissioner. Bob and I have known one another since the 1998 Winchester Caramel Festival.
