                        - To the folks still turning out each day to help rebuild the Valley Grove and Triadelphia communities.

                        In 2012, I was invited to a conference held by the Milton Friedman Institute in Indianapolis. The Institute invited 20 or so legislators from around the country to discuss school choice issues and how much progress had been made to that point. 
Like most conferences we heard from a variety of ...
                        
                    
                    	                                        
                                        
                    
                                                                        
                        
                        Groups from all over the Ohio Valley are showing in impressive fashion that their thoughts — and deeds — remain with the people of Ohio County still rebuilding after the June 14 flash flooding.
Fourth Street United Methodist Church recently donated $10,000 to the church’s West ...
                        
                    
                    	                                    
                    
                                                                        
                        
                        Heat across our region likely has many households cranking up the air conditioning and using plenty of electricity. Combine household need with that of Ohio’s industrial energy consumers and PJM Interconnection is advising the strain on our electrical grid may be too great.
