There’s one word in politics that gets overused and misused especially during an election year. That word is ‘change.? And it drives me nuts because people ignorantly throw it around. Every presidential candidate, Republican and Democrat alike, is promising ‘change? this year. Voters claim they want ‘change.? The media reports about the public’s demand for […]
I love scary movies. It’s just in my blood. In fact, every fall I get a kick out of watching the Halloween movies (only I and II), The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (the Johnny Depp one), Scream and whatever movie peeks my interest. Let me stress, I love thrillers ? not the horror, slasher films […]

One thing that no one has bothered to bring up is the jobs (Kohl’s) will bring to this area! Todd Lawrie in the January 16 edition remarked that Kohl’s should conform. He speaks about requiring Kohl’s to meet some standards is not unreasonable. I would say that standards regarding safety of the public and standards […]

Treasurer Joe Ferarri and Supervisor Bill Dunn are saying there’s no money to fix water problems or to finish the lower level of the township hall into a sub-station for the sheriff’s department. […]

This gentleman and all of those with the same belief should start a group and raise the money to buy all the property they want to direct the use of. There is simply no market for what is called ‘Research and Industrial.? Who is going to build the additional roads that will be required for […]
C.J. Carnacchio’s opinion column ‘My Way? on January 16, 2008 hit the nail very succinctly on the head. I could not agree with him more regarding the arrogance of some of our current and former politicians. Funny how board member Eric Wilson’s demeanor did a complete 180-degree shift at the following NOTA Board Meeting after […]
