There are lots of places to eat in Brookville, Ohio — not to be
confused with Brookville, Indiana with the big lake. Our biggest lake
is in Golden Gate Park and while you wouldn't want to go skinny-dipping
there with big snapping turtles, it is nice to sit and look. The place
to go downtown for a meal or a cup of coffee is Market Street Cafe.
Then for the big sandwiches, give O'Riley's...

The Earl and the Bored Kiddies
By Mona Lease

financial aid. Why is this? Is there anything we can do? --A Reader -

photo: The latest news Friday morning is that Gallup has Romney ahead
of Obama by seven points; Rasmussen has them dead even. Romney gains
started following the first debate and women voters giving Romney the
thumbs up on the economy. Despite that, the CBS lead “polls” story was
Obama up in the swing states of Wisconsin and Ohio. Must have missed
something somewhere. Also in Blogs: School bus driver fired for comment to Romney supporter. Events: Commissioners coffee; FFA fruit sale. News: Grand Lake Algae. Sports: Reds 2013. Obituaries: Sandra M. Cwik. Yesterday's
