You don't have to be a news junkie to know how bad the job market is. There are plenty of jobs, even in a bad economy like this, if you are willing to move to where the jobs are. There are companies in other states doing very well and adding to their... 

This letter is in response to the "Conti Students Can Get Credit for Sports" article published in the April 16th edition of The Crescent News. At first glance, it may appear that giving PE credit for HS sports & band is a very positive move promoting physical activity. However, the reality underlying this "curricular option" is a calculated political decision... 

Earlier this month America commemorated the 40th anniversary of Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s death. Dr. King and those who worked with him wanted all Americans to live and work together in a cooperative effort to make this multiracial, multicultural country the democracy it was supposed to... 

Look at the horrible crap that this Obama website is saying about Mrs. Clinton. She should be made aware of this as soon as possible before the entire campaign falls off the cliff because of the rotten lies on this blog called... 

Why doesn't law enforcement go after the real murderers? Not amateurs that kill family members, or a dozen co-workers, or a school. Half of them should be on medication and don't know what they're doing. I'm talking about people at the top of the profession, tobacco executives who kill half a million Americans per year (Eat your heart out Bin... 

Dear Editor; According to an article on the front page of The Crescent News on Monday, February 18, impeached, former president Bill Clinton thinks we have a clear choice between this year's presidential candidates. We do have a clear choice but not between the two senators seeking the Democratic nomination, as he thinks. It is between those senators and the... 

Don Ott was many things to many people during his years at Kettering Country Club. To some he was the name on the score card, framed in a quiet little corner that was the record low score at Kettering for many years. To others he was a gentle instructor - whether it was on the range teaching a smooth backswing... 

I am writing in response to the recent allegations against Fire Chief Mark Marenntette. In the early morning hours on October 11, 2006 our family was awaken by the dreadful sounds that no one likes to hear, Smaoke Alarms. Thanks to GOD, and due to Mark's recent visit to our daughters school passing out information on smoke decectors, Hannah came... 

"Pledge of Allegiance" "I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." Most folks don't know that this is the original Pledge of Allegiance written by a fellow named Francis Bellamy on September 7, 1892. Once a Baptist minister, he was a member of the Christian... 

Dear staff of Crescent-News, I'm wondering if you know how many Crescent-News readers look forward each Sunday to reading the column of Sharon Randall. It seems it has been left out more and more lately. Possibly because people remember that Sharon actually included my name, and Defiance, Ohio, in the title of her column two years ago, after I had... 

Jessica Okuly's letter to the editor about America's failing health care system didn't deserve Mr. Mastin's sarcastic response. Tactics used to scare people about universal health care may have worked once upon a time, but no... 

With Sam going to NASCAR, Wouldnt it be nice to see a local business have a MOBIL gas station, or something???? Congrats on making the race Sunday Sam. You will be in the eyes of NW Ohio. Good... 

There has been a great deal of talk about the Ayersville levy. We would like voters to carefully consider what will happen if this levy does not pass. This letter is coming from two concerned 7th grade students at Ayersville Middle...

I grew up in the 1950s and 60s in Paulding County five miles from Junction and attended Auglaize-Brown High School in Oakwood. I cherish those years of living in this farming community and now live north of New York City. I feel compelled to write given the events of this past week at the former...

Mr. Hubbard has found fault with every move that the Mayor has made. Lets require all council candidates and appointed officials to take a course in Diplomacy, starting with... 

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Myra English of Myra J.,her "girls", and the designers from JC Penney salon for their time and expertise. On August 23, 2007 in the pouring down rain these women donated their time and supplies to make women and children look their best for back to school. How awesome it is when... 

The current status of the Ayersville Water and Sewer District appears to be in financial trouble. The District will have to file for Bankruptcy in the near term unless other ways are found to bring in more money. In an effort to bring in more money, the AWSD Board is going to petition the Court of Common Pleas to annex... 

In my opinion, many of the intersections in downtown Defiance need some major work. 1. While going north on Clinton, and trying to turn left on Second St, there was no signal to turn left, though there is an a sign on the overhead sign stating i could turn left? Now what do I do?? I cant back up and...
