Speak Up for Dec. 8 - Springfielders: I am going to get a tattoo of a crossword puzzle on my arm.

I miss David Catrow. Will he be doing a cartoon for us for Christmas?

Stop speeding and you won't get a ticket.

I find it rather curious that the old casket building downtown is considered suitable to remodel and use as an ice skating arena, while the much newer Springfield North High School was considered to be such an "asbestos hazard" that it was immediately condemned to death.

When will the school administrators figure out that retired shop rats like me cannot afford to keep supporting the school. Higher property taxes do not always mean higher property values.

We need someone with more guts, more backbone and less ego... That would be Sarah Palin.

Where can I get the Clark County commissioners' meeting dates and times?

South Vienna has two police cars that monitor Route 40, and now we have the State Highway Patrol there also.

If I had a child, I wouldn't let them watch the American Music Awards. They need to run a warning prior to the showing.

Thanks, Possum School and Southgate Church, for the wonderful Veterans Day program.

We need to bring the troops home! Our enemies are in Washington, D.C.

Teachers, please wear the correct under attire. Thongs do not belong in the classroom.

What does $300 million buy these days? One yes vote for the health care package.

Why is someone going to court for bicycle light and tail light requirements?

Why don't you see what God's word says about piercings and tattoos. Read the book of Leviticus.

Special thanks to Grace, Fifth, First, St. Johns, and Trinity Lutheran Churches for the inspiring Thanksgiving service. The many who attended witnessed a true spirit of thankfulness.

What is the deal with the people collecting signatures at the post office?

If animals could talk, I wonder what they would say about the human race?

I have a challenge for you. See if you can even come close to doing Christmas without buying from China.

Ohio Lottery is about to be audited. Those of you who voted for the casinos, pay attention.

Northwestern schools: Why were the schools falling apart? Was the maintenance not kept up?

Thanks, Elderly United and the students from Shawnee High School, for a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner at Elderly United.

Where in the world have you been? President Carter never got this country in the shape it is in?

Tobacco hurts the individual, not the public. Excessive drinking kills both. You would raise more money and do more good with a $1-a-beer tax than a pack for smokes.

The townships shouldn't be giving out Christmas bonuses.

What our government really needs is more statesman and fewer politicians.

Let's put Christ back in Christmas. Tell everyone Merry Christmas!
