Every Portage County voter will have a chance Nov. 5 to say “yes” or “no” to state Issue 1, the proposed constitutional amendment to end gerrymandering. If nothing else, Issue 1 reveals how breathtakingly shameless Republicans have become. In their effort to hold onto power, they’ll say anything.

I am writing in response to the article “Streetsboro’s solar moratorium still on hold” published on July 24. While I do not reside in Streetsboro, I am a public school teacher in Portage County, and my parents live in a township within the county. They are currently navigating challenges with their HOA to install solar panels on their roof. The HOA’s resistance, based on aesthetic and curbside appeal concerns, mirrors the apprehensions expressed by some in Streetsboro.
The Ravenna School District established a Business Advisory Council (BAC) in the summer of 2022. In an effort to merge the needs of the different businesses with the work of the school district, a mission and vision statement emerged that bonded the two entities together in their work to create a diverse, yet competent workforce.
One hundred years ago Judge Cornelius Reed donated $25,000 for the construction of a public library in Ravenna.
The Ravenna School District (RSD) also has a commitment to ALL students, regardless of their post-secondary plans, and recognizes those same students for their achievements.
For over 50 years, the Mantua Potato Festival has been a vibrant thread in the fabric of our village's life.
In 2004 I retired after serving more than 30 years in the classroom. I have closely watched the events surrounding the State Teachers Retirement System unfold and I understand the frustration that retirees have expressed over the last couple of years as inflation jumped to 8% in 2022. It currently stands at 3.3%.

The Kent Community and Northeast Ohio are mourning the loss of one of its great individuals, Maurice “Uncle Mo” Drake, who passed away on the morning of June 14, 2024.
Let's take a moment to recognize the all the graduates who aren't the star athletes, or the college-bound scholars. The kids who work really hard and yet never feel the spotlight.
