Be sure to keep score as Election Day approaches DEAR EDITOR: I know there is not a lot of interest in midterm elections, but there should be. I know it’s hard to pay attention to what they say and what they don’t say, which makes me have to read between the lines. Keeping score isn’t easy either. It’s harder than calling balls and strikes. Dad rule (I was right). It seems to me there is more at stake in this midterm than most. Trump knows construction: 1) pour the footer, let it cure; 2) Build the foundation 3 or 4 courses at a time. Let that cure; 3) Finish the ...

We need the truth. Husted’s ads are lies. One ad states Brown approves of sex change surgery on children. He does not. Soren is from Texas, had surgery at 19. Then a picture of a frightened child. This is deceptive! Another ad states that Husted has “character.” Would a person of “character” be associated with the worst corruption case in Ohio history? FirstEnergy gave him a million dollars for his campaign. We got higher electric bills. We need Sherrod Brown. — Poland Are you better off today than you were two years ago? The answer is no. — Hubbard I have always ...

In our climate of political violence, this is a recipe for disaster. Already some are shamefully claiming the incident was not serious. Fortunately, Gov. Mike DeWine has spoken out about such misleading and perhaps ultimately dangerous rhetoric. STEPHEN GLADSTONE Shaker Heights Did you ...

When 47 wanted to make Canada the 51st state of America, Canada fought back. As retribution, 47 levied exorbitant tariffs, up to 50%, on Canadian imports, essentially huge taxes on Americans. He claimed we do not need Canada, a lie! US gets vital minerals, auto parts, lumber, aluminum and steel from Canada. There is NO valid reason to destroy our years of friendship, relations and trade with our bordering neighbor just for ignorant spite or self-enrichment. Again, 47 has damaged relations with allies near and far. — Canfield The Kennedy Center is a MEMORIAL to JFK, a beloved ...

McDonald residents are opposed to data centers DEAR EDITOR: As a longtime McDonald resident who attended and spoke at the 9/9/26 council meeting, I was again disappointed by the disregard the council members had for listening and engaging with the residents who spoke. Previously, we had been told that until recently, the development of a data center had not been in the works. However, that is not true. At the 9/9/26 meeting we were finally told that a company by the name of Oppidan has had a land contract since last year. The village was to hold a public meeting with Oppidan on its ...

Please help with the following requests: Get us out of the WAR in Iran, open the Strait of Hormuz, back off Canada, give U.S. the tariff $$ you promised, quit the tariff BS, submit the health-care reform plan you promised 10 years ago, fire your high-IQ department head minions, don’t meddle in our already fair elections, REGULATE AI before it’s too late, quit BS-ing us lower IQ citizens of our once proud country! Regards, us. — Boardman I love the ad criticizing Sherrod Brown for voting with other Democrats. What does every Republican do when they bow to Trump on every issue? ...
