I wrote this Letter To The Editor to the Geauga County Maple Leaf and the Courier newspapers this week.  I note that the Maple Leaf has already published it.   I'd like to hear from all of you about this most important election.  I see Ralph Spidalieri's campaign signs all over the county and even observe one of his signs RIGHT IN FRONT OF DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS at Rt. 44 and Rt. 87!  Oh my...

Dear Editor: 
     All of the recent letters in favor of retaining Geauga County Commissioner Mary Samide would seem to suggest that "all is well" in ...

     After four days, miles of walking, countless face-to-face meetings and more of our industry’s products in one place than anywhere on earth, the 2012 SHOT Show is in the books — and it’s officially a record-breaker.

Here is NSSF’s wrap-up news release:

     Yesterday was the long awaited tour of the "Green Mansion" on the east side of the Burton Park (14585 E. Park St.) formerly owned by a Burton councilman and area realtor.  People have been CRAZY to tour the huge turn of the century mansion - so much so that people have been breaking into it for months now.  The big green monster has sat vacant for over a year now...  It was foreclosed on and the former inhabitants long gone to another community...  Very sad story...

     So I had been looking at the "Open House" sign for several days and was busting to get over there and have a look at one ...

By Stephen Dinan

     Arizona's state legislature will open its own investigation into the Obama administration's disgraced gun-running program, known as "Fast and Furious," the speaker of the state House said Friday. 
     Speaker Andy Tobin created the committee, and charged it with looking at whether the program broke any state laws — raising the possibility of state penalties against those responsible for the operation. 
     It's a turnaround from the rest of the ...

HISTORY OF CAR RADIOS
Radios are so much a part of the driving experience, it seems like cars have always had them. But they didn’t.   Here’s the story.

SUNDOWN      
One evening in 1929 two young men named William Lear and Elmer Wavering drove their girlfriends to a lookout point high above the Mississippi River town of Quincy, Illinois, to watch the sunset. It was a romantic night to be sure, but one of the women observed that it would be even nicer if they could listen to music in the car. 
     Lear and Wavering liked the ...
