After several chilly days, I thought I’d take advantage of some spring-like weather on the eve of our eagerly anticipated eclipse. My plan was to get in a 30-mile bike ride before setting up for an evening concert I’d helped organize. A few weeks ago, I bought a new pair of tires that promised high performance, combined with flat resistance. Everything seemed perfect.
Did you see CNN lightened the skin tone of the Memphis police officers who killed Tyre Nichols? Did you hear on the news earth is actually cooling, not heating up? Well you shouldn’t have because these headlines are fake.
When ever I’m invited to speak, whether at a special program, a class, or a church group, I’m
often asked to provide a short bio to include in advertisements, program notes, or for the MC
to use in their introduction. I hate writing my own bio. I’m always afraid that I’ll sound
conceited on one hand, or under qualified on the other. But today I’m going to take a risk and
tell you a bit about myself.
By Brad Bolton Downtown Kent was going to dramatically change in 2010, and I wanted to photograph that area before...
My 8-year-old daughter tested positive for Covid last week, but she was far from alone — 55 of the children attending Leighton Elementary School in Aurora (plus an additional four teachers) tested positive for Covid in the last two weeks alone. One school, nearly 60 Covid positive cases.
I really appreciated the packed house at Wednesday's Kent City Council meeting. Thanks to many many folks who came to speak in support of recreational weed in Kent.

But I'd like to unpack the issue because, unfortunately, there was a lot of misinformation flying around that I feel needs addressed.
Pu Koroatu (aka Jacob Tearaamanu) led Anuta for about as long as Queen Elizabeth served as Great Britain's monarch. No one in the past century has had a greater impact on the island's social, religious, and political direction.
Last Friday, I left the informal Kent Environmental Council breakfast at Little City Grill at about 9 a.m. and immediately noticed smoke. As I turned south on Mantua toward downtown Kent, I could see that the Williams Brothers Mill was on fire.
The following is the speech delivered by John Kennedy at the Jan. 6 vigil sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Kent, the Portage County NAACP and the Kent Interfaith Alliance for Racial Reconciliation and Justice.
Like many of you, in the late fall and early winter of 2020, we watched and waited as life came to a standstill and uncertainty became the new norm. We watched the news and wondered how bad it was going to get, how many lives would be lost to or forever changed by the Covid-19 pandemic. We had seen the long lines of folks waiting for boxes of groceries in other states on television and knew that the need must be here in our own community. We had to do something about it. It was in this moment that Rural Relief Mobile Food Pantry was born.
