	Salt in Ravenna? March 5, 2012 Wow - despite the mild winter and I would assume a nice stock of salt, the City of Ravenna chooses not to use it the one day it is needed. Taking my kids to school on Diamond and Riddle was ridiculous, it was like ice skating, cars were sliding...
	Upcoming Field School Levy February 10, 2012 So they school is now sending home paperwork with our kids asking how our family is going to support the upcoming March levy for the Field School systems. They are also asking for the students name, along with parents contact info as well. To be this is...
	Waterloo School Board Leaves Us in the Dust Again February 9, 2012 I am very disappointed by a recent vote of the Waterloo School Board. They officially voted during their October Board meeting to send a message to Columbus that our school system is against House Bill 136. House Bill 136 would allow almost all of us...
	Pension Pick-ups in Field Schools District January 10, 2012 The Field schools' administration and Board of Education have repeatedly said they have cut costs to a bare minimum. I disagree. What about the "pension pick-ups" for administrators in the Field School District? The district already contributes 14% of...
	Students Rights January 5, 2012 My son is a senior at a school I won't mention.... and has a teacher that has it out for him.... it's apparent. Well, she recently overheard him and another student talking and my son was saying that his dad was mad about his electric bill being so...
	Verizon uses "vendors" for customer service January 3, 2012 After having trouble time and again with verizon I learned something quite interesting yesterday-when you call the 800# or *611 you may or MAY NOT be talking with a TRUE verizon employee. I have missing calls and they don't show up on my phone so I...
	Increased Good Will December 30, 2011 I have been utterly amazed at the continuing stories I have been hearing about the above and beyond donations to families and individuals in need this holiday season. It has restored faith in me for mankind and the people being more selfless rather then...
	Let's not forget those who serve December 11, 2011 I came across this and would like more people to see it. A dedication to those who serve us: It begins: A Soldier's Night Before Christmas "Merry Christmas, My Friend" by LCpl James M Schmidt, USMC, 1986 Twas the night before Christmas,...
	PARTA Says Going Your Way December 9, 2011 I am an Honors Student at Fortis College in Ravenna. Recently PARTA has decided they want to do away with the Raven Route in Ravenna, because they supposedly don't have enough riders. I have been going to school now for over a year and ride the Raven...
	Looking for help December 5, 2011 Good morning readers. This may be a long shot, but I am asking for a little assistance. There was a car accident on November 07, 2011 at the intersection of Rt 43 and Rt 14 in Streetsboro at approximately 5:20pm. A black car was southbound on rt 43,...
	Volunteers at RMH December 3, 2011 I am very disappointed that Toni Brown-Harris felt it necessary to slam the "older" volunteers at RMH in her column. If she didn't want to "tarnish the good being done" by the "older" volunteers in the "orange" jackets, she shouldn't have made it...
	Portage County Toys For Tots November 30, 2011 It has came to our attention that the toys for tots for portage county is being moved all the way out on 43 in suffield for the hand out instead of in Ravenna at the VFW post 1055 on New Milford Rd. It has been at the vfw since the start in 1990. I guess...
	Excess Spending in Field School District November 28, 2011 BOE in Field has a lot of nerve to ask for more money when they still choose to continue their excess spending. Some examples of their excess spending include: Pension pick-ups on all administrators. Pension pick-ups are practice where the District...
	Gingrich and McFeatters November 20, 2011 I suggest the Ann McFeatters climb down off the Obama Throne of liberalism long enough to consider a few things. Newt is by far not the only person in government or not that has had a laps in moral integrity. However, I still think that it is far better...
	ZERO TOLERANCE IN SOUTHEAST November 18, 2011 Southeast does nothing to protect its bullied students. A student there has been harassed since september with the principal knowing, this student finally got into a fight and now the one being bullied is suspended, the bully is still in school to do...
	The Voice of the People? November 10, 2011 Voice of the People? SB5 has failed because of the Voice of the People. Was it the Voice of the People? I think not. It was the voice of the Unions and Democrats who twisted and lied about what SB5 was about. As you have now seen, some levies...
	what's wrong with our Judicial system? November 1, 2011 I want to know why our judicial system categorizes everyone and why you are guilty and cannot prove yourself to be telling the truth no matter what you say. In my opinion it's unethical behavior on the part of a Judge to call you irresponsible a liar a...
	Yes to SB5, No to Renewal October 26, 2011 Am I an opponent of school levies? No. Am I against current Operating Expenses? Yes. If we continue on the way we are now, it is inevitable that Operating Expenses will exceed revenue no matter what we do. Cost of health benefits will increase and...
	Opponents of issue 2 October 24, 2011 "We only care about the children"..and so says big union money in one video. Misprepresentation or outright lies about issue 2 by the union bosses. Follow the money to see who benefits from the defeat of issue 2. Without forced union dues and union...
	Things to Consider October 16, 2011 This is long, I know it, so if you don't want to read a long post now, move on. Looking at the numbers one would begin to wonder if the trend will continue. The numbers that shows an increase in the amount of revenue the district is now receiving and...
