Last year a Rufous Hummingbird showed up at the greenhouse on Cherry Ridge near Sugarcreek. We guess that after it left Ohio, the bird most likely flew south for the rest of the winter and then all the way to the northwest part of the country, or even to British Columbia, for the summer. Whatever the case, it seems the bird remembered the way back to Sugarcreek, since it has again taken up...
Parental first commandment: Thou shalt make sacrifices
Its a heartwarming story, for sure. Its Senior Night at Stow, when parents walk their senior across the football field and are recognized by the school and by the crowd.

Regardless of the myth set forth by studios and agents, there really is no such thing as an overnight success in Hollywood. Just ask Wooster native Avi Garg, whos been on the West Coast for several years now. Some would say hes earning his dues; Garg would say hes just plain working hard for a career in the movie industry. There have been some good periods, he said, and there have...Column: The first of the lasts and finding myself in them
