Please don't use the excuse that you don't know where your money is going not to donate at all. Catholic Relief Services is reliable, and there are other charities reliable that can use donations, too. Doctors Without Borders is already in the news for setting up makeshift hospitals and clinics. You can research charities and find out reliable ones. However, avoid using a credit card; send a check instead. Unless you hear otherwise, credit card companies have not waived their "processing fees" (i.e., profitable skims) for donations made through their cards.
Mascots that are racial stereotypes are racist and should be eliminated. Wahoo is a caricature of a group of people. Get rid of it. I don't care how "beloved" it is to children. I hope we are a little more enlightened to how demeaning these mascots are than people were in 1914 or the 1700s.
Cities sometimes expect emergency workers to be on call and available on a moment's notice. Obviously, the farther away the worker lives, the longer it takes him/her to get to the emergency. I can understand the city limit requirement for some city workers; depends on their jobs.
I lived in Youngstown for 7 years, and a new job took me elsewhere. I wish the city and mayor well.
The Taliban did not attack us; Al Qaeda did. Treat it like a crime and pick up the perps instead of destroying a country and killing civilians besides. We don't win any friends and just make more enemies...and terrorists.
Please note that the FOCA, Freedom of Choice Act, has not been proposed in Congress. It is not on the desk of the president.
I would hope that all those opposed to abortion will be as vehement in supporting legislation that improves health care, education, and stable housing for women with children. This hope includes the bishops of the Catholic Church, who organized a national campaign opposed to a law that is not even up for consideration in the current Congress.

Cornerstone Dinner planned for shelter
This program is one of the most exemplary in Ohio, if not in the US. Keep up the good work!

Do you support sending more troops to fight in Afghanistan?

Fallout from abuse
Sunnyskies, being gay has nothing to do with pedophilia. There are married men who commit this act, as well as single hetero men.
I frankly don't care if a priest is gay. Gay or straight--just be faithful.
Come on, get past the prejudice and learn about sexual orientation and its scientific basis, and find the actual facts about pedophilia.
