Rockets’ track and field qualifies eight for D-III state meet

Although the Streetsboro Rockets boys’ and girls’ track and field teams competed in a new division in the Ohio High School Athletic Association track postseason, their sprinting depth still triumphed as the Rockets advanced eight athletes across seven events to the state meet last weekend at the OHSAA Division III regional meet at Austintown-Fitch High School in Youngstown. “It was an amazing day for the kids,” said Coach Robert Kidd....

Rummage Around

Rummage is one of those interesting words that can be both a noun and a verb–and two kinds of a verb, at that, both transitive and intransitive (and even a sort of an adjective, as in a “rummage sale”). All of you grammarians out there got that, right? All of you non-grammarians don’t give two hoots in a hot place about the word anyway, right?...

Elite Talent Collections Sports Memorabilia offers intrigue in Ravenna

Elite Talent Collections Sports Memorabilia store owner Mark Hartburg will be the first to admit that calling himself a sports fan is an understatement. The Kent native has brought his passion for sports to Ravenna by opening his sports memorabilia shop, which hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony last Thursday afternoon at 137 East Main Street in Ravenna. “This is very exciting and unbelievable,” Hartburg told The Weekly Villager....

On Uncertainty, Extremes,

One easy way to spot AI in writing is through something called contrastive framing: it’s not x, it’s y. For example, “It’s not me, it’s you.” That formula can force ideas into opposition, and lately it mirrors the way many people are discussing world events. More and more, topics are framed in extremes — danger or opportunity, loss or gain, human or machine....
