You can't hide anything in Oberlin

I love hav­ing been born and raised in Ober­lin. I’ve always loved being a small town girl, even with the inher­ent “every­one knows every­one else and tells every­one else every­thing” neces­sity that goes along with it. For me it started early. I began work­ing at my aunt and uncle’s insur­ance agency, Sperry-Gorske, when I was 12. […]

Time to eat healthy, make healthy plans

Now is the time to get our­selves healthy. Stock up on veg­eta­bles and fruits and cer­tain nuts. When you need a snack dur­ing the day, reach for some. You can pre­cut car­rots, cel­ery, broc­coli, radishes, and cau­li­flower in a large Tup­per­ware bowl with a lid. My daugh­ter does this. When­ever she wants a snack she […]

Evacuation is only for one night, right?

Dear Friends, Jack and I were two of many res­i­dents who were evac­u­ated from their homes when the gas line rup­tured. It was an expe­ri­ence we could live through again but let us hope it will never be nec­es­sary. Many times as we have watched the evening news, prayers are said for peo­ple who have […]

To sched­ule an appoint­ment with Dr. Jurek or a Mercy physi­cian near you, visit MercyOnline.org/doctors. Why is bone health impor­tant? Humans do best when walk­ing upright.

Men can be good cooks, too

I like watch­ing the Food Net­work on TV, espe­cially the show “Chopped.” They start with four chefs (men and women), and only one can win. I notice there are more male chefs than women. They all work in or own a restau­rant. Many work in New York City. I love watch­ing “Restau­rant Impos­si­ble” on Wednesday […]

There are no answers to question, "Why?"

Dear Folks, When I read the Dec. 29 issue of The Enter­prise, I was shocked to see the front page story was about the statue of Baby Jesus being stolen from the manger scene in front of St. Patrick Catholic Church. What? You have got to be kid­ding me. My grand­daugh­ter Dana was dev­as­tated by the […]

Taxes must be same for everyone

Start­ing with the Tea Party and then with Occupy Wall Street, there has been a move­ment to con­sider both the eco­nomic dis­tri­b­u­tion of wealth and the amount of taxes that are paid. The Tea Party wants to lessen the amount of taxes that Amer­i­cans pay, which would sub­se­quently result in a smaller gov­ern­ment, while Occupy Wall […]
