Who you should vote for in November election
It's getting closer to Election Day, when responsible adults go to the polls and vote for who they think will lead their communities in the years ahead.
A week’s worth of positive newspaper
Way back during ancient times, I'm talking about a long time ago — in fact — I'm talking about 1993 or so, a local guy named David Bucci and myself helped set up a system by which people could read Star Beacon summaries online.
Time to show your support of homeless animals
America has become more homogenized over the years.
Plenty of dumb things you can do while driving
Way back in July, wife Louise and I spent a few days taking care of our then young but handsome grandson, Henry.
Legislators can’t make easy decisions
The latest Ashtabula City Council debacle, involving the city handling dispatch services for three villages, should lay to rest the question: Can this legislative body ever accomplish anything?

It’ s probably difficult to comprehend how a guy can live more than five decades and still know so little about football.
Housing plan won’t cure brain-drain problem
If Ohio has a brain drain problem — and it most certainly does — Ashtabula County has one that's even worse.

Making the best of largest covered bridge
Tim Glotzbecker has noticed how popular the nation’s longest covered bridge, just outside of Ashtabula, has become.

Conneaut City Council failed Monday night to muster the 5-2 vote required to place a charter change measure on the ballot. For the most part, we support giving the voters a chance to decide such issues.
City Council fails in no-brainer vote
The decision on whether to annex the site of five new elementary schools on Wade Avenue into Ashtabula was a no-brainer for City Council Monday night.
A best buddy in less than five days
Five days of our most recent summer vacation were tending to the needs of one Henry Robert Lebzelter.
Fight for rights to air dry outside
Excuse me if my column this week is, well, a little dry.
Problems abound with private meetings
Growing up in North Conneaut, our back yard abutted what at that time was the Conneaut Country Club and later, Conneaut Shores Golf Course.
Days off leave him in ‘state of shock’
I was looking forward to an extra two days off of work a few weeks ago.

I'm having a tough time dealing with Conneaut's new street lighting assessment.
