Post Letter: Randy Mace is a better choice for seat
Oct. 28, 2012We are writing in support of the candidacy of Randy Mace for county commissioner. We have known Randy since our return to Athens County in 1978. During that time we’ve seen him head the Athens County Emergency Management Agency, become the driving force for establishing 9-1-1 in Athens County, and be selected as one of a few top communication specialists in the nation to provide vital security communications for the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002.

Post Letter: Work with Pawpaw Festival shows ability to manage successfully
Oct. 28, 2012I am pleased to continue to support Democrat Chris Chmiel for Athens County commissioner. I have worked with Chris for a number of years on the committee that produces the Pawpaw Festival. He is personable, approachable and kind. He asks for and utilizes others’ input and feedback, often trying new ideas to see if they work for the group as a whole. He respects our time by managing our meetings well, starting and ending on time, and working from an agenda. He does not micromanage, but he does check in to make sure that things are being done in a timely fashion. He follows through on everything that he says he will do, either by delegating the job or seeing to it himself. He rolls up his sleeves and works harder than anyone else.

Post Column: From the Bleachers: Weekend losses not the end of the world
Oct. 28, 2012I know it hurts. Ohio’s unblemished record was officially and excruciatingly blemished on Saturday. And it had to be at the hands of Miami, of all teams. And it had to happen in the last few moments of the game. That really stings.
Field Hockey: RedHawks defeat Bobcats before MAC Tournament rematch
By Christian Hoppens | Oct. 27, 2012The football team wasn’t the only Ohio squad to leave Oxford empty-handed.
Post Column: Ghosts make mischief in toy stores, court
Oct. 27, 2012In the spirit of Halloween, let’s talk about ghosts. The first thing I’d like to say about ghosts is that if police could physically arrest ghosts, the number of registered sex offenders in the nation would double.

Soccer: Ohio falls to Miami

Post Column: A harrowing encounter with OU's undead
Oct. 27, 2012I’ll admit, when I was dispatched to cover the recent disturbances on campus, I was less than impressed by what I saw. What in the Sam Hill was I doing here? I was Ryan McAndrews, intrepid and fearless reporter extraordinaire! I had covered Vietnam, Korea and 9Fest! What horrors could this “HvZ” nonsense have that were so important for the American public to see?
