Just read some interesting salary figures in the local news publications:
Court Street will become host to dozens of flags, 27 booths and hundreds of Ohio University students and Athens residents this Saturday for the International Street Fair.
From the visual arts to performance, women will have a safe and accepting space to express their art Friday.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Athens County Democrats for winning a six-year term prior to the election for Common Pleas Court Judge replacing the retiring Judge L. Alan Goldsberry. This is one position in county government that should be nonpartisan. There shouldn’t be a D, R or I beside any candidate seeking to be judge. Every Athens County voter should have the right to vote for judge seats. However, that’s another soap box.
When you are about to enter a new phase in your life, it’s funny how past moments and memories come flooding back as if they had happened yesterday.

It’s the weekend and that means more track and field.
Though Athens Police have a photo of a suspect whom they say made counterfeit bills and passed them at an uptown bar, authorities said they have no new updates for the public on the case.
After its four-game sweep of Toledo and Bowling Green this past weekend, Ohio has jumped out to a commanding lead in the Mid-American Conference East Division.
Tom O’Grady’s knowledge and love of Ohio started on the back roads from Cleveland to Athens.
The value of an opinion is the entitlement to it, and yet, that value has gone down in flames.
Right now, things aren’t rainbows and sunshine for Ohio baseball.
I am in a weird place this spring because for the first time in five years, I am not running a GSS or Student Senate campaign. I have been on the “outside” and “inside” ticket. I have proposed some of the craziest ideas and some of the most effective ones during those campaigns. Last year, I was elected as president of Graduate Student Senate and was finally able to carry out those ideas. However, I have found out something fundamental about Ohio University, something that most students don’t understand. Students in this school have a ridiculous amount of power … if they understand the system.
A line outside of Haffa’s Records will form early before the 11 a.m. opening time as the ones who still prefer their music coming from the grooves of a record will seek out special releases for Record Store Day.
