The Memorial Day weekend turned tragic for the family of Oxford Township resident, Brent Alan Ford, 25. Ford died early Sunday morning, after he was found floating in Scripter Park Lake the evening before. ‘The medical examiners have determined Mr. Ford’s death was accidental drowning,? Oxford Police Chief Mike Neymanowski said, Monday morning. Neymanowski also […]
One of the groovy things about the internet, is that sooner or later rumors and ‘new? facts tend to reappear. The way I figure it, it takes about four years for stuff to span the globe, virtually speaking. Of course, I base this on personal experience. Just this past week I received an e-mail about […]

A long, long time ago, in a yard not far enough away, the grass grew green and lush; worms and grubs lived in peace. Life was good for many a moon. Then I bought the property. And, the forces of darkness marshalled their forces. And Mole Wars began. Worms and grubs were murdered unmercifully. The […]
To some, I’m just a mild-mannered reporter-type. To my boys, I’m a stingy, skinflint, scrooge-like guy. To other’s, I’m a fast-graying dinosaur, that should be led out to pasture, making way for a new world without controversy.

From last week’s column I received lots of reader response. Many thanked me for it, other’s disagreed with my logic or added more thoughts to consider. I want to thank everybody who wrote, and not just the ones who agreed with my column. It was a hard column to pen. I am sure it was […]
It is a sad day in Mudville. Mighty Casey has struck out and the home team has lost. Unfortunately, today, it is not a game, nor a children’s poem. Today, the residents and voters of Independence Township have lost. With a heavy heart on this day I think it is time we ask Dave Wagner […]
We are becoming a ‘soft? nation. An ocean of ‘wimps? and ‘hoity toitys? (whoever they are) will soon be upon us. No longer will we be a nation of beer and burgers — everybody will want Chablis and crumpets (whatever they are). Woe is us. I have come to this conclusion after thorough research. The […]

Her sign hangs up at 10229 Hegel Road in downtown — right next door to a community barbershop tradition, Ken’s. ‘We have a different […]
Last week I asked the community an important (to me, the stingy, skinflint, scrooge-like yellow journalist) question. Actually, I asked a series of questions, and I quote: What do you want? Do you want a watchdog? Do you want a newspaper to ask the hard questions for you? Or do you want a Suzie Sunshine […]
