The thin blue line: A local law enforcement officer's story speaks volumes

Friday, February 26, 2021 5:08 PM

With the exception of six months, I’ve worked for the Highland County Sheriff’s Office since I was 20 years old. (I’m older than that now.) My last shift was supposed to be tonight but because someone almost killed me with a one-ton truck, my last working shift was 2 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 24.

Nation honored Ohio native John Glenn after his famous flight

Friday, February 26, 2021 11:40 AM

John Glenn’s “biggest boosters” in his orbit of the Earth were not on his rocket, one newspaper reporter wrote, but those from his hometown of New Concord. It was 59 years ago this week that Glenn piloted the NASA spacecraft Friendship 7 and orbited the planet three times before safely returning to Earth. The historic achievement made Glenn a household name and one of the most famous Ohioans to ever live.

Equality Act a dangerous threat to the country

Friday, February 26, 2021 8:07 AM

The Equality Act is a dangerous threat to our nation. The Biden Administration has said they want to pass this within their first 100 days. I cannot say this more emphatically – for people, for businesses and for ministries of faith, the Equality Act is a threat to life as we know it in our nation today. It's a real game-changer.
1942: The $9 billion victory loan drive

Thursday, February 25, 2021 7:02 AM

With a week to go, the county had roughly a quarter of a million dollars to raise to meet the quota. Now, that’s a lot of money even today, but remember, $250,000 in 1942 is worth more than $4 million here in good ol’ 2021. Passionate editorials were written, and solicitors scoured the county in an effort to sell bonds to residents.

A hat and the fine art of deduction

Thursday, February 25, 2021 7:01 AM

When I first stepped outside into the gray morning, I did not go far. I paused. I felt as though I might lose my balance if I was not careful.

So, you are graduating?

Wednesday, February 24, 2021 4:28 PM

Spring is just around the corner. We likely believe that more in Atlanta, Ga. than you do in Highland County at the moment, but trust me, it is. With spring, comes graduations. Whether from high school or college, young graduates view this as a liberating time, a time to spend a little money.

An easy win for Biden: Don’t send stimulus checks to dead people

Wednesday, February 24, 2021 12:41 PM

President Joe Biden has said he wants to be a unifying president. Well, now’s his chance to make the most of a winning issue. No taxpayer, regardless of party, is likely to support sending taxpayer money to dead people.
