THANKS, writes a reader, to Bob and Robin’s Flowers and other donors for making Marques McHaffie’s Project ROSES a success.

SPANKS, writes a reader, to the councilman who stated there was only one person on the Board of Public Utilities with experience.

THANKS, writes a reader, to the local policeman, firemen, EMTs, postal worker and librarian who visited North Elementary kindergarten classrooms to talk about the importance of their jobs. The students and the teachers enjoyed the visit.

SPANKS, writes a reader, to local youth volleyball coaches that play their own kids all game, every game. Also, SPANKS to the lack of organization, the waste of practice instruction, and the ridiculous amount of money charged compared to other teams.

SPANKS, writes a reader, to the city of East Liverpool for forcing an elderly person to tear down a vacant house in the East End that only needed painted and the yard’s brush cut.

Special THANKS to Jimmy Joe Savage for taking the picture and the East Liverpool Rebound Club.
