Congressman Brad Wenstrup passes the ‘gut-check’ test
Monday, June 19, 2017 7:19 PM
I think Congressman Brad Wenstrup has, in fact, made a difference. Is he now just going from one election to the next? At this point, I would offer a guarded no. Time will tell. However, my gut instincts tell me he’s still the best choice for Ohio’s Second Congressional District. He’s earned another term in Congress. Thank you for your service on many fronts, Col. Wenstrup.

  • Joe Cole (1936-2017): Hillsboro loses another community icon

    Monday, June 12, 2017 11:22 AM
    Former Hillsboro City Schools Superintendent Rick Earley told The Highland County Press that "Joe and Arlene are two great people who will do anything to help our students. They do a lot behind the scenes without a lot of publicity. They're just great people."

  • In defense of Trump – all things considered

    Monday, June 5, 2017 7:29 PM
    Some liberals and pacifists might think that Ozzy’s actions were extreme. But as I asked a liberal and pacifist friend, “What would you do if your young daughter were in jeopardy?” His reply was similar to my own. That’s where the rubber meets the road. An armed society of reasonable people is much safer and much more polite than an unarmed society of pacifists. Like many of my friends, I’m living in the former yet willing to defend the latter. Is this a great country or what?

  • Happy 90th birthday, Bud Brown

    Wednesday, May 31, 2017 7:37 AM
    Clarence J. “Bud” Brown, Jr. will be 90 years old on June 18. He was born on June 18, 1927. I always remember Bud’s year of birth for one simple reason: It was also the year of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Miller Huggins and one of the greatest teams in baseball history – the 1927 New York Yankees.

  • Local kudos first, politics last, while free speech still exists

    Sunday, May 21, 2017 6:36 PM
    Surely, the Republican-controlled Ohio government has some respect for the First Amendment. If not, the thin-skinned leaders of the Free Rent Party – not to be confused with the Free Soil Party – ought to find real work instead of trying to supersede the U.S. Constitution. But then again, we must remember the words of former Columbus newspaperman Oscar Ameringer who said, “Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.”

  • Dipsticks, interstate billboards and the Trumpster

    Monday, May 15, 2017 7:35 AM
    A very attractive young lady in Daisy Duke's cutoffs asked if she could help me. Well, how exactly does one tell an auto parts professional that he's somehow managed to break his dipstick? "This is probably an unusual request," I began. "But I need a dipstick for a Chrysler Town and Country."

    For those of us being forced to pay thousands of dollars for new cement on South High Street, the very least Mr. Koogler could do is answer a simple question: How many of you on city council have ever written a check to the city of Hillsboro for a new sidewalk? Is that so difficult?

  • Congressman Buck has the right idea, but he needs Troy Landry’s help

    Monday, April 24, 2017 6:31 PM
    The former Cincinnati mayor and cocotte connoisseur clearly has more name recognition than any Democrat candidate thus far. And as far as the GOP 'goober-natorial' opposition next year, that’s looking to be about as lame as what passes for Ohio 'leadership' now. Let’s face it, if Trump can win America, Springer can win Ohio. The sleaze factors are about the same. And we probably deserve both of them.

  • Leading by example?

    Monday, April 17, 2017 5:09 AM
    Surely, no city official would have the unmitigated gall to send a bill for $11,648 to a property owner unless they, themselves, have first paid for their respective sidewalks. Surely, they are not akin to members of Congress who exempt themselves from the onerous laws passed on "the rest of us."

  • So long, June Gregg, Bainbridge’s finest ambassador

    So long, June Gregg, Bainbridge’s finest ambassador

    Saturday, April 8, 2017 8:01 PM
    When asked the secret to living a long life, June said it was simple. "Work hard. Stay young. That's what I tell everyone. Take advantage of being young and don't get old.” Then she smiled and laughed at her own philosophy on life. And what a great philosophy – one that began prior to the first World War and continued to 2017. June, you are a true treasure, and you will be missed. Heaven has yet another angel. You earned your wings long ago.
