May is Historic Preservation Month. This year’s theme from the National Trust for Historic Preservation is All People are Created Equal. The theme is based on the United States making the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. East Liverpool hasn’t been in existence since ...
I feel it is imperative we citizens of St. Clair Township vote YES for the police levy Tuesday, May 5. I’m sure we want the same level of professional law enforcement we are now provided and, to continue this, we need our officers to have individual body cameras, patrol our streets and ...
Ohio’s energy grid is under unprecedented strain, threatening the very foundation of our state’s economic stability. Energy is the lifeblood of Ohio’s manufacturing sector and heavily supports the state’s labor force. Resolving our energy crisis is a matter of economic security, and the ...

Mayor Dickey and her reduced staff are really not to blame for what has developed and I’m going to speak about her as a long ago city planner which she never had. She never received a ‘City of Peace’ but was given a ‘City of Pieces’ that started back in 1980 or before but gained speed ...
