Sports can truly link generations.

Fishing Charter Changes

When the charter fishing season opens on Lake Erie in April, fishing enthusiasts will need more than just their reel and tackle for a day on the waters.

They will also need to bring a passport or two forms of identification if they plan to fish across the international border in Canadian waters. They will also have to report to Customs on their return.

It's all part of a Homeland Security Department decision to enforce the new border security rules.

What do you think about the decision?

Iraq War 5 Years Later

Wednesday marks the fifth anniversary of the start of the Iraq War.

To date, 3,990 members of the U.S. military have died in Iraq. More than 29,000 have been injured and the cost of the war has reached approximately $500 billion.

Ohio has lost more than 160 military members in the war.

On this the fifth anniversary, add a post to this blog to remember the sacrifice made by these military families or leave your own thoughts of remembrance.

Possible Sale of NCB

It's being reported that Cleveland based National City Bank is looking for a possible buyer.

What are your thoughts on the possibility of a potential impending sale?

Browns’ busy off-season

The Cleveland Browns continue to be one the busiest teams in the NFL this off-season. Owner Randy Lerner is on the verge of giving General Manager Phil Savage a contract extension following a 10-6 season.

Head Coach Romeo Crennel, offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski and defensive coordinator Mel Tucker have already signed extensions.

They also re-signed quarterback Derek Anderson and running back Jamal Lewis.

Then Savage went out and signed wide receiver Donte Stallsworth from New England, traded for defensive linemen Corey Williams and Shaun Rodgers, signed offensive lineman Rex Hadnot from Miami and re-signed offensive lineman Lennie Friedman.

What do you think of the Browns’ moves thus far? Will they be better than last year or was the 10-6 season a fluke? Were the extension’s warranted after just one winning season?

Was re-signing Anderson the right move? Did the Browns go out and get the players they needed? Did they miss out on anyone? Did Savage make a good decision on trading away draft picks and Leigh Bodden to get Williams and Rodgers? Will Brady Quinn play this season?

We want to hear from you. Give us your thoughts on how the Browns look going into the April draft and then the 2008 season.

Snow Storm Sound-Off

Which community fared the best during the big storm?

It's a storm that no one will forget anytime soon. Last weekend's storm dumped 12-24" inches across northern Ohio. The storm dealt a knock-out punch that pretty much shut down everyone.

So we want to know who did the best when it came to keeping pace with the storm and then digging out once it was finally, mercifully over?

We want to hear from you. Rate your community on their snow removal efforts.

Primary Day

Polls have opened across Cuyahoga County ushering in yet another voting system--the optical scan ballot.

The ballots are supposed to be simpler for voters to understand and use. But it will take voters longer to work their way through the ballot since they have to manually fill out the selection ovals for their choices.

How was was your experience at the polls? Did you find the new ballot easier to use than the touch screen system? Were there any problems at your polling station?
