It's time to stand up and be counted, Bowling Green.
Fracking is starting to come into Northwest Ohio.
We need to act now to ban fracking within the city limits of Bowling Green.
Sign the petition that is being circulated.
The petition proposes a community bill of rights charter amendment that deals with prohibiting or limiting gas and oil industry "fracking" and related operations within Bowling Green's city limits.

All the answers to life are in the Bible. When we studied in Bible years ago, in the Catholic church's "Renew Bible Study Program," the mission statement of that program was "We Can Renew the Face of the Earth."
Towards the end of the "Renew Bible Study Program," our Bible study group, of approx. 15 people that met once a week each spring and fall at a home in Gibsonburg, OH, we came to the conclusion that example is most important. One cannot say, "do as I say but not as I do."

The time has come for Jesus to return. From 1st Thessalonians 4:6-6 for the lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of god, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alike and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air, and so we will be with the lord forever.
From Matthew 24:39-41 this is how it will be at the coming of the lord. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

To the Editor: Solutions sought for ongoing flooding issues |

We sit looking at the Blanchard River Watershed Study maps that are on the Army Corps Buffalo District's website and wonder how this is helping the flooding problem in Hancock County.
The Flood of 2007 produced 82 billion gallons of water that passed through Findlay according to the Northwest Ohio Flood Mitigation Partnership. We all now know where it floods in a 100 year flood.
If the proposed diversion channel happens, all that is going to change. People that have never been flooded before will be. It switches the flooding problem to another group of people.
You cannot ditch away 82 billion gallons of water. It will go somewhere. Lye Creek and the Blanchard River still flow through town which means it will still flood. Findlay is built in a low area and water will seek its own level.

Public deserves open meetings |

Ask any kids and they will tell you - scary stuff happens in the dark.
As adults, we get over that irrational fear, but we still realize that the cover of darkness often allows wrongs to be committed that would not be attempted in the light of day.
Current open meetings law in Ohio requires that governmental bodies conduct their business in the bright sunshine of public participation.
But tucked away in the 5,371-page state budget bill is an amendment that shields governmental bodies from that uncomfortable glare and allows them to meet behind closed doors when discussing nearly any economic development issue. The change would allow townships, municipalities and counties to even discuss tax breaks for prospective businesses without input from the public - the people footing the bill of such tax abatements.
While open meetings law in Ohio already permits governmental bodies to go into executive session to discuss such items as real estate transactions, it is very specific and limited in the reasons public bodies can retreat behind closed doors.

To the Editor: Student speaks against animal abuse |

I believe that we need to stop animal abuse and cruelty.
Some of the more serious effects of animal abuse can include: lack of trust in humans and other animals, physical ailments, and mental illnesses such as brain tumors. Sometimes the abuse inflicted can be so serious that it causes death.
Animal testing is one of the worst kinds of abuse. It severely injures animals, and even kills them. Companies that use animals as test subjects usually end up killing the animal after they are no longer needed. Animal-Rights-Action.com lists the following as companies and brands that use animal testing: L'oreal, Pantene, Aqua Fresh, Crest and Johnson&Johnson. Other types of animal abuse can include: dog fighting, fur farming, shock collars, puppy mills, continuous chaining outside, and neglect.
