West Ewing, West Murphy, and West Robb Streets were recently repaved. The crews that did this work deserve credit for their great, professional work.

I was witness to one of the greatest forms of democracy recently at the 1219 UAW Hall on Bible Rd in Lima. Two hundred union members with their family and friends were there for a well-attended rally and information session. Union officials from the region and locals were there, along with Mayor Sheretta Smith, to promote solidarity for a very important cause.

First, I would like to congratulate Maddie Seeling for all her accomplishments this year, both at the Ohio State Fair Junior Horse Show and the Allen County Fair. It is obvious that she works hard for those accolades and deserves them.

Have you been downtown lately? I drove up and down the streets marveling at the new buildings, new storefronts, new parking, construction equipment, the many workers and the pretty trees, shrubs and big flowerpots everywhere!

On behalf of the Heartbeat of Lima and Putnam County Board of Trustees, Staff, and Volunteers, we would like to thank the Tom Ahl Family of Dealerships and the community for their support of our annual charity car show.

Letter: Issue 1 was a waste of money, effort

0

I am a graduate of public schools, so my math skills are not sharp enough to figure out the calculations on Issue 1. If you were afraid the abortion amendment would get more than 50 percent of the vote what made you think you would get more than 50 percent on what amounted to a mirror image issue.

Letter: Issue 1 part of pattern of corruption

0

The two groups that led the movement against Issue 1 were a physicians’ consortium and a coalition of women’s rights groups. The other 57% were citizens aghast that corrupt politicians would take away the One Person One Vote rule here in Ohio.
