Letter: Griffith will ‘further enrich, help city’
I advocate for Linsey Griffith as the ideal candidate to represent the First Ward on Delaware City Council. While I am her husband of 20 years, I also offer a unique insight into her unparalleled qualifications.

Life is full of unexpected moments
I love these autumn days! This week I have enjoyed sitting outside on my patio, sipping my coffee in the morning moonlight. It is dark at 6 a.m., and the sky has been clear and beautiful.
Letter: Unfair billing practices have to stop
Many Ohioans are feeling the financial strain caused by record high inflation last summer and continued high prices through this year. One area that saw some of the highest price increases was the health care industry. Increased prices in health care have far-reaching consequences and longer-term effects on our mental and financial health. Unfortunately, I am painfully aware of these high prices, and I know that it’s not sustainable for my family or for other families like mine.

Plant mums early for success
Have you ever tried planting hardy mums and had them fail to come back the following year? Fall mums are perennial flowers that can grow and bloom in your landscape year after year, if you handle them properly. One secret to success is to buy them before they bloom and plant them right away. The sooner you plant mums the happier they’ll be. Mums that are trapped in a small pot for too long, or allowed to dry out, rarely come back the following year. If your goal is to have hardy perennial mums, you should treat them as you would any other container-grown flower or vegetable plant.
Ohio must continue to grow its tourism industry
In 2022, Ohio’s tourism industry generated $53 billion in visitor spending, the state’s highest ever. Even with this record-setting year, we need to continue to grow this industry due to Ohio’s robust economic growth setting it on pace to have more jobs than people in the state to fill them. Investing and putting focus on economic development related to Ohio’s travel and tourism efforts are a great way to help grow the population and fill open jobs.
