My grandmother was diagnosed in 2013 and her doctor basically said “good luck with that,” so I reached out to the Association and started using their free resources immediately. Since then, seven other members of my […]

Letter to the Editor: Protecting children isn’t radical, bigoted or extreme
The conversation about Love On A Mission’s “Queer Prom” has been pretty volatile, with lots of name calling from both sides. Parents and everyday people are being vilified for voicing their valid concerns. Supporters of the event are being dragged through the mud as well.

Letter to the Editor: Consider the Forward party
Government is a necessary component of society. If you disagree then I invite you to consider what it would be like to live in a weakly-governed country. There are several around the world to choose from. Me, I like having public services. Especially the emergency ones. They’ve saved my mom at least twice. I also […]

Letter to the Editor: Asking local Democrat Party leaders about immigration issue
Maybe we could start the new year with local Democrat Party leaders telling us why it’s okay for millions of illegal immigrants to pour across our southern border. I emphasize “Democrat” because it’s the Democrat administration of Joe Biden that’s allowing this to happen. Perhaps Ohio U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown could weigh in. He’s a […]

Letter to the Editor: Why can’t we have a nice community pool?
Dear Richland Source, I have a question for the Mansfield community. Why don’t we have a nice community pool for our children and families to enjoy?
