Buckeye Football!

Columbus, Ohio is the center of the Buckeye Universe. The Buckeye football team will have their home opener on Saturday against Youngstown State University. I'll be there in the stadium and I'll be wearing red. Be sure to look for me!

Franklin County is doing something to help our men and women in uniform.
Dispatch:
It might be one of Franklin County's least-used benefits, but commissioners voted yesterday to give a nice payout to employees called to active military duty.

The county will cut a $500-per-child check to help families cope during the separation....

...The money will come without strings and will be offered each time an employee is deployed for a year. Commissioners hope families will use the perk to pay for such extras as camp, sports, household help, child-care, family outings or bills.....

This is a terrific idea!
