Hmmm...college degrees needed for laboring in steel mills? UNHEARD OF! I understand there needs to be trained people, maybe foreman, but as for a few of the facts in this article, there needs to be some light shone on these: 1) Are they trying to put out US mills out of business? These workers, without college degrees, have some of the best pays and benefits in today's workforce. 2) My grandfathers would turn over in their graves if they heard this one! Not everyone is made for college; this does NOT mean they are any less smart! 3) Love my husband, the laborer in a steelmill. We raised 3 children on his laborer salary and are the ONLY people in our neighborhood without a degree. We are NOT any less deserving of than any of our neighbors. Please, quit trying to turn everything into more profits for the colleges! UGH!
The objectors were not all NE Ohio mills. Four out of five mills declined the contract. Sparrows Point just happens to have more people than all four put together, and they just happen to be the future headquarters of RG Steel. Happy to explain. Thanks for your comment.
Don't judge before you wear the shoes of those workers. The proposal given by the former and again current owner puts these employees back years in progress and wage cuts. No one is whining, just trying to keep up with cost of living increases and decrease in pay. Like I said, until you pay our bills, shut your mouth! Power to the USW !!! And yes, we are BLESSED to have RG Steel in the Valley.
Driving Laws were broken here - A 17-year old licensed driver is NOT permitted to drive between the hours of 11pm and 5am unless for the below reasons: *employment, school, religious activities or medical necessity. Also, I believe there is a limitation on how many juveniles may accompany them in the vehicle. Parents of these teens Do you remember 2004 in Millcreek Park and all of the kids in the car that tragically died? Screwing around while driving turns that car into a WEAPON and innocents can be killed. Make your teens watch some You Tube videos of kids being killed while being disruptive citizens in cars. This time it was just "kid stuff" but there might not be a next time. Keep your kids home, order them a pizza and watch movies with them. Don't let them drive all over between two counties causing havoc. About the egging: If you've ever had to clean dried egg off of a car or house in the middle of winter, you understand this is a crime - it peels paint and stains. These kids should have to do some community volunteering and go back to driving school.
Not appreciating your latest on Boardman's football game last night. "Rammed the ball down Boardman's throat" and all....then came to see you took the article from a Canton reporter. JUST REPORT! Do it yourself and quit discriminating against your own locals.... Boardman boys, kudos to you!
When driving by the courthouse last week with my husband, he told me the story of it needing restoration. He said "the statues will fall" I then crooked my neck out the window and saw what he was speaking about - oh! I've seen the inside, but never noticed those statues. Hmmm....so, my idea is - they are BEAUTIFUL! show them off, bring them to eye level somewhere in the downtown area. Do a simple fix-it job on the rest.
I am in the habit of turning on my HAZARD lights when I first begin to see slowed traffic ahead of me. My daughter HATES this, said she thinks it's unnecessary, but I look at it as a great precaution in case the guy behind me isn't paying enough attention to the road conditions. Maybe it's something to consider as a safe practice. Also, if there is no one behind me and I'm the last car in the stopped lane, I ALWAYS am keeping an eye behind me just in case I need to get out of the way. So sad for these three innocent people. I hope this truck driver is a little kinder and cooperates with the detectives, unlike another accident a few months back (God bless our Marines). Trucks are very necessary, but can definately turn into killling machines if they aren't paying attention.
God Bless our Marines and their families! Thank you for your service! Please send out e-mails so local people can support them, they need it year-round, not just during the holidays. Bless you all!
How could the coroner even sleep? Has he no conscience or morals? I was taught that sometimes you help people out of the goodness of your heart. In this case, the impact of multiple deaths involved many, many families. "Budget cuts" or fancier to say "LACK OF MONEY" was the root of this evil decision. Yup, we'll all let it rest, and some day this will come back to bite that guy.
Steel mill, college collaborate on training for new workers

Warren steel workers rejected RG Steel pact
The objectors were not all NE Ohio mills.
Four out of five mills declined the contract. Sparrows Point just happens to have more people than all four put together, and they just happen to be the future headquarters of RG Steel.
Happy to explain. Thanks for your comment.

Mahoning coroner opted not to go to scene of triple fatal auto accident
How could the coroner even sleep? Has he no conscience or morals? I was taught that sometimes you help people out of the goodness of your heart. In this case, the impact of multiple deaths involved many, many families. "Budget cuts" or fancier to say "LACK OF MONEY" was the root of this evil decision.
