	No Such Thing As 'Free' Federal Money August 24, 2010 Recently, Ohio was chosen as one of the winners for the White House's "Race To The Top" contest that will award $4.35 billion to state schools to improve education. Nordonia Hills will receive over $173,000 of this federal grant. Of course improving...
	Macedonia Deserves Better May 19, 2010 The residents of Macedonia are intelligent and caring. I am constantly reminded of how fortunate my family is to be surrounded by such neighbors. However, I don't think our Council views us the same way. I think they believe we are incapable of...
	Trash Everywhere! March 19, 2010 Well, now that the snow has finally melted in our area, I wonder if every body is feeling the same way I do when I drive down the streets and see countless empty 24 oz Bud Light beer cans everywhere. A few things come to mind when I see the trash...
	Where Charisma Falls Short by John Bean August 21, 2009 Eight months into his presidency, President Obama is realizing that the power of charisma has its' limitations.

	Thank you letter July 12, 2009 On July 4th, our oldest son Michael suffered critical burns from a bonfire accident. Two other friends of his were also burned and hospitalized. I would like to thank not only the Macedonia Fire Department for their quick response and excellent job but...
	Correction to "Pork, the new White House Meat" March 5, 2009 In the letter title "Pork, the new White House Meat", the writer suggests that "simple math" shows that giving 200 Million US taxpayers $1 Million would be cheaper than the $756 Billion stimulus package. Unfortunately, his math is wrong: 200,000,000 Taxpayers X $1,000,000 = $200,000,000,000,000. That's $200...
	Pork, the new White House Meat February 21, 2009 $756,000,000,000.00. (Just in case anyone was wondering what 756 Billion Dollars looks like.) I have sat by and watched some pretty despicable things happen in our country through my lifetime, but this has me really steamed. Stimulus Bill Stimulus for who? Let's take a look at a few of the prime examples of this: 1) a $2 billion handout to...
	Thank you for saying the Pledge of Allegiance September 8, 2008 It is fantastic when good people do the right thing simply because it is right. We have two children currently at Northfield Elementary and one that has moved up to Lee Eaton. When all the changes where being made through-out the district two years ago we weren't sure what to...
	Trash Talk in the Center-The rest of the story ... May 22, 2008 Regarding Trash Contract in Northfield Center / Rebuttal to Buescher Letter [News Leader 21-May-2008]. I was informed the News Leader does not publish rebuttals to rebuttals, so I am posting here. I stand by my prior...
	What's Important? April 2, 2008 Over the past few years, there have been numerous school issues on the ballot, many which haven't been passed. One of the biggest arguments has been the increase of property taxes which would finance the issues for the schools or school improvements. As an educator, it is depressing to see how society has changed its focus from our schools to...
	Athletic Facilities March 11, 2008 Well the athletic facilities levy failed again and those that supported it now wonder what is next. Those that did not support it are undoubtedly basking in the fact that a majority of voters took their side. But stop to think a bit...
	When the Levy breaks..... November 21, 2007 In regards to our recent failed tax levies, I feel compelled to comment after reading a passionate father's disgust with the defeat of the athletic facility levy. I have never agreed with property taxes in general. It's simply fascinating " they found yet another way to poke a hole in our savings...
	CANDIDATE NOT INFORMED October 9, 2007 I watched the Cable 9 Q & A featuring the 2 candidates for Macedonia Mayor. One of the questions was, "How will you deal with storm water"? Mr. Pilato first stated that the city has expended $340,000 and has gotten...
	Twinsburg Road Detour April 25, 2007 I was curious if there are any plans to add a left turn arrow at the Hines Hill/Rt 8 intersection and also the Valley View/Twinsburg Rd and Valley View/Highland Rd intersections. Since we have been cut off from all access to Rt 8 and are forced to go the detour or Valley View, I find myself waiting sometimes 20 minutes...
