This is in relation to the story about sick racoons. I live in the Twin Lakes area and had an obviously sick racoon in my backyard last fall. It was laying on top of a fence and not...

As we head into the summer months, many of us are wondering how high gas prices will go. Now there seems to be no end in sight. How did we get to this point? There are two simple answers: NAFTA and... 

Keep in mind- This person is around young minds EVERYDAY! Slander, Disrespect & Personal Attack- This is unacceptable. Are these qualities a Superintendent should display proudly? Please read below: Waterloo Local Schools Superintendent's Update April 17, 2008 My Comment on Board Meeting I preface these comments by saying this is my view and opinion regarding the most recent board meetings.... 

To the esteemed elected members of the Waterloo School Board; I implore you to act appropriately in the capacities to which you were elected. You have a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of the school district. To this end, the accountability of the Superintendent to the School Board is... 

Thanks Mayor for thinking of others. Not only did you spend money you didn't get approval for that the village now has to pay your large bill, you insist on getting insurance that you are not entitled to because you are part time. Now 2 village employees are without a... 

There are too many crashes at this intersection. The visibility on New Millford crossing 5 is not good. You dont have a clear view if there are cars coming down... 

While I was working at my desk last night, I watched a news magazine show in which the host traveled to several countries, all of which had systems that could be described as universal coverage. Japanese, German and British doctors, all commented on the positives and negatives of systems with out exception, by comparing their system to the Unites States.... 

We are all in this (life) together. It seems to me that lack of respect for self and others (over a period of decades) has created the economic and social mess we have now. It's been too easy to lie, too easy to cheat, too easy to take advantage of others and too easy to get away with... 

For the second time in three months, School Board member, Brian Pusateri called another Board member, Denny Hopp an A**HOLE during a regular school board meeting. Although it was not heard verbally - the word spoken softly to himself was obvious to the members in the crowd. Its one more example of why Waterloo cannot tolerate the old school behaviors... 

Alright, so I'm a little upset that my school is turning into a trailor park! We now have four trailors out back, and more than 6 classes out there! We need a bigger school... that's final! I'm so sick of having to walk out there all the time! Time between classes isn't long enough! it's ridiculous! It would be fantastic...

i lost someone today. I lost my husband due to a motorcycle accident. I don't think there is a whole lot of fault to be placed. My husband had top of the line... 

I am 25 yrs old, married, with a 1 yr old and pregnant with my second. I am on WIC and just applied for food stamps. I do not work simply because I am pregnant and its pointless to have a weekly paycheck go out in daycare and gas to get to work, so my husband... 

This letter is in response to all the comments about teachers recently. I love what I do and wouldn't change my profession for anything. I am truly tired of defending what I do, the money I get paid or the hours I... 

I'd like to thank the Record Courier and the Akron Beacon Journal for advertising my recent benefit on March 8th. Thank you to my family and friends and co-workers at General Electric Co., The Elks Club and it's bartenders, John Christy and area sponsors too numerous to mention them all. Their generosity is overwhelming to say the...

I am appalled at the events that unfolded at the recent board meeting to discuss Mrs. Miller's, Southeast Primary School Principal, nonrenewal of her contract. The board refused to allow the public to speak even after demands from the crowd to continue the public... 

Regarding the City of Kent offering to place deed restrictions on property for a fee of $10 so that future owners cannot rent out a property: while I understand that the intent is to preserve neighborhoods, I think it is too late. With the housing market the way it is, if you want to sell your house, you will sell... 

In any game, it's three strikes and you're out. That doesn't appear to be true in the recent Portage County political game of hiring. Two of the last three Commissioners'hires (EMA Director and Executive Assistant)came with baggage and now comes...
