Letters to the Editor

The top diseases in the United States are no longer Heart Disease, Cancer or Diabetes… but Coronavirus 19! I have Atrial Fibrillation. It is a condition that causes your heart to beat irregularly. It has a number of side effects, enlarging of the heart, thickening of the heart walls, complications of the heart muscle, and […]

From The Dean’s Office To Our Mansfield Buckeye Network: While each day of our present situation brings change, I am amazed at how the Mansfield Buckeye Community is adapting and adjusting to protect the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff while maintaining “business as usual” as much as possible. Our highest priority […]

We are all experiencing some unexpected bumps in our lives right now. Given the current state of events globally, I’d like to propose some things we can do during this social separating “down time.” Did you know that most poll workers and food bank volunteers in Richland County are over the age of 60, along […]

Dear Editor, I have known Mayor Falconi to be a genuine and honest man since the time I have met him. I have seen him go above and beyond to help the citizens of Brunswick. For example, when a citizen was concerned that a KFC was coming into town, he not only gave her his […]

For countless reasons we need trees: shade, protection, oxygen, carbon sequestration, beauty, animal and insect habitat, food for animals, plants, and humans… Many go on vacation for rest, healing, and peace looking for places where they are surrounded by trees. What is the value of a tree? How do we calculate the […]

This is not an endorsement letter. This letter is written primarily for the benefit of the residents of Shelby. Last month many of us received a political brochure in the mail in regard to Councilman Martin’s candidacy for the State House of Representatives. I was personally saddened, shocked, and offended by the presentation of what […]

Dear Editor: Kirsten Pscholka-Gartner will appear on the March 17 Democratic primary ballot as a candidate for Probate Court Judge. She is the only candidate with judicial experience. Currently, she is the Chief Magistrate in the Richland County Domestic Relations Court presiding over the majority of the child support docket and cases involving the most […]

Along with many others in the community, I was very saddened to see the headlines of the recent murder of a local woman, just after she was denied a Protection Order. The court has explained their position. If what occurred was all they could do to protect her, we need the legislature to revisit the […]
