CHAMBER CHATTER - Chamber's legislative committee now in process of reactivating

The legislative committee of the Norwalk Area Chamber of Commerce is reactivating and we are very excited and fortunate to have Jeff Reed heading up the effort. In Jeff's words, "last fall's election and other pressing issues show we must be more proactive in making our views known to the public and legislators." We couldn't agree more. While many people do not like politics and therefore don't get involved, the consequences are that someone else decides matters of importance for you and your business. We need to do a better job of organizing ourselves and using the strength that comes from standing together on issues. We will be holding an organizational meeting in a couple of weeks and if you or someone from your business would like to be involved please contact the office at (419) 668-4155.

She and husband Tom own Tubo's Toy Box and as usual displayed a large selection of metal signs and neon clocks.

Let's make DST permanent

More than half of you like Daylight Saving Time, according to an online poll conducted by the Reflector last week. In fact, 32 percent like it so much they say it should last all year long. However, nearly that many, 30 percent, say we shouldn't bother at all.

Liberty-Benton rolls to win over Western in district final

FOSTORIA - Western Reserve's dreams of playing the role of giant-killer and winning the Division III Fostoria district championship fell apart in the second half Saturday against Liberty-Benton in a boys' basketball game. Playing against Ohio's top-ranked team, the Roughriders held the upper hand for a quarter and a half and were still in good shape during the middle of the third quarter. But the Eagles rolled to a 57-31 win to improve to 23-0 and advance to the Bowling Green regional.

Cougars tough and fearless; Are they headed for Ohio?

I've always been interested in animals. I'm curious about their lives, what they do, and why they do it, which is why I ended up with a master's degree in zoology from The Ohio State University and 30 years of teaching high school biology. These days I pretty much know how squirrels will react in a given situation, where a rabbit will sit and where he'll go when jumped and the best places to hunt deer. But there's one animal I've never quite understood, one that makes me wonder why they do what they do. That's cougars, and especially why and how they attack humans.
