Highland County is a hidden jewel for the vacationer, offering beautiful expanses of pristine forests and some of the best hunting, fishing, and outdoor life anywhere. It's time to think about buying Ohio timeshares. You'll enjoy year after year of the best family vacations in a comfortable, friendly setting. What's more, Midwest timeshares offer you more room than the average hotel suite and a homier environment.

I received a note from Cindi Pearce about the creations of a new online streaming radio station focusing on the South Central Ohio League and area high school sports. It is a work in progress being done by her son Pearce Dietrich and Blake Matesic, the URL is www.scolradio.com/index.html. Sponsored by Knisley's Body Shop.

If you needing inexpensive activities for your family this summer please give the theater program at Magic Waters Theater consideration. They've been nestled in one of Ohio's natural gems for twenty-seven years and every summer provide good family orientated entertainment at affordable pricing. Check out their Getaway Giveaway Program. Sponsored by Magic Waters Theater. NOTE: The Ohio Dept. of Transportation has closed parts of Cave Rd. for bridge replacement. The road will remain open, however, from the US Route 50 entrance. The project will not affect the Magic Waters Theater season.

McClain HS graduate Jason Hughes is the author of a new novel, Crematory. He will be present for a book signing at the Greenfield Library on Monday, July 20, 2009, 6-7:00 p.m. Sponsored by Pitzer Painting.

First time blogger Jenny Good submits a compelling piece about a major danger we permit our children without always knowing or considering the consequences. Well worth the time to read and reflect on. Check it out at Chapman's General Store; Purveyor of Fact, Fiction, Rumor and Opinion. Sponsored by Sitterle Insurance.

Speaking of inexpensive entertainment have you ever been to Kettering's Fraze Pavilion? I attended a blues concert there on Sunday which made my second visit. It is a fantastic facility; limited seating with no bad seats, great sound system, easy and free parking, and during the summer they have three free festivals and this year, thirteen free concerts. Then there are two-dollar Tuesday events and five-dollar Friday concerts. As well as national and international artist they also draw a good sampling of more local talent. This Sunday we experienced two free bands and for $27 got to take in Dr. John and The Robert Randolph Family Band.  Check out their website at www.fraze.com. Sponsored by Stewart's Pharmacy.

I received an email from a person with roots to Greenfield asking if I knew anything about the town's links to 1930s gangsters. He had been told that John Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde had at, at one time, been in Greenfield visiting friends. All I can add is that I've often heard people claim that Greenfield was once referred to as "Little Chicago" but I don't know why that association was made. So, I'm turning to you, the readers, what can you add? I'd rather hear about provable fact but for the sake of a good tale, I'll also welcome rumor! Email to greenfieldohio@gmail.com.

According to the word on Facebook and elsewhere Ohio's government is about to make a decision on whether to cut funding of public libraries by 50%. I suggest that before that takes place the governor and legislature cut their staffs  and their own paychecks by 50%. If they can continue providing meaningful services with half their current budget and employees it would then be okay to expect libraries do to the same. Governor Strickland's phone number is 614-466-3555 and the email address for the our State Senator, John Carey, is SD17@senate.state.oh.us and Representative David Daniels email address is district86@ohr.state.oh.us.
