Letter: It’s about the policy, not the person

- Letter to the editor.

As a former Zoning Inspector in Paris Twp, Portage County, I would like to share my insights on the “he-said-she-said” article about Windham’s Zoning Inspector. The problem with the article is that it focused on who the new inspector is, not the true root of the problem, which is officials bending rules to make people happy. In this case written township Zoning Resolutions and county policies.

Opinion

Calm column: Read the signs

- Kathy Baker.

It seems we are always being pulled in so many directions. We get constant bombardments from the media — “do this” and “don’t do that.” Read this and your life will be transformed. Use the right toothpaste for a blindingly bright smile. Eat your veggies. Exercise. Turn off the TV. Meditate. Lose weight. Lose the attitude. And don’t get me started on the never-ending soap opera of American politics.

Drug march in Ravenna gathered for opioid epidemic awareness

- Wendy DiAlesandro.

Participants in Saturday’s drug march gathered in front of the Portage County courthouse to pray, enjoy refreshments, and hear speakers. Marchers walked from the courthouse to Maple Grove Cemetery to raise awareness about the opioid epidemic, which continues to claim lives at an alarming rate. The event was sponsored by C.A.R.E., Children Always Resisting Enemies, with support from the United Church of Jesus Christ Missionaries & Outreach Ministries’ Midnight Cry Team.
