SPANKS, writes a reader, to whomever was responsible for not taking the time to submit the names of East Liverpool Student/Athletes to the OVAC for inclusion on the All-Academic list. These hard working youth did not receive their Certificates of Recognition which they very much deserved.

THANKS, writes a reader, to Marjorie Wright of East Liverpool Schools Food Service Administrator and her staff for getting all students in the East Liverpool School system free lunches. It shows you’re there for the right reason. A job well done.
