As a former Fairfield Township trustee who served for 32 years and now retired, I am still greatly concerned for the people I worked for as a public servant.
I am going to share what I believe is in the best interest of the residents.
1. I do not want a township handed over to adverse interests.
2. […]

Every morning I wake up, this country of ours seems a little more unrecognizable. The government seems to have its hand in just about everything and we stand by and let it happen.
Now it seems that our livestock industry needs some sort of guidelines for the care of our own animals. Guidelines to dictate […]

The Washington Ruritan Club regretfully announces that they will no longer be holding their annual turkey supper.
We wish to thank the many people who attended and supported this fundraiser over the last 50 years.

In Editor Susan Crowell’s Sept. 9 column, “Obama school speech furor: You can tell it was a slow news day,” you dismissed as unwarranted the criticism of allowing the speech to be broadcast in classrooms all across America to children starting at 5.

Like many of your readers I live in the countryside, out of reach of modern broadband and barely in range of cellular service. I, for one, would like to see that situation improved.

An article on a Web site, taken from USDA’s Livestock, Dairy, Poultry Outlook Report, dated June 17, 2009, grabbed my attention when it stated that commercial dairy exports this year are expected to total 19.7 billion pounds on a skims/solids basis.
How could this be? Exports of nonfat dry milk were very strong last year […]

I would like to comment on Alan Guebert’s great article on NAIS in the June 18 Farm and Dairy. His lines, “flaws are as wide and deep as its unknowns…” and “no farmer wants a new expressway built between him and the federal courthouse” are excellent observations!
With the correct picture he has drawn of […]

These days, the subject one is most likely to hear on the evening news is the state of the economy.
The U.S.A. is a young country compared to England, France, Germany, Africa and several other countries. Why must we help all of these foreign countries that are much older than ours?
