Can you identify this house? The photo was taken by Will Triplett around 1900. He didn't write the location of the house in his notes.

If you can imagine the difficulties faced in 2010 to remove heavy snow from village streets and sidewalks, imagine the task in 1900. This was a "school closed" day in Bluffton.

Letter: Look for the truth, follow the money

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 29, 2010 - 12:18pm

Icon:

This election is about The Poor vs. The Rich, Main Street vs. Wall Street, and Bigotry vs. Justice. I want to stand with the poor, local economies and to fight against racism, Islamophobia, and sexual discrimination. That gives me a straight Democratic ticket.

Unfortunately, this election is being fought with negative campaign ads that are outright lies, paid for by un-sourced and unlimited money. Why not just give up Democracy and let the top thousand richest people make the decisions? Sadly, that's kind of how it is already.
