My middle school cheerleading squad cleaned up several roadways in Grant County. My group went on a road in Dry Ridge and on a road by Lloyd’s Wildlife.

In the “Personally Speaking” section of the Grant County News on Oct. 12, 2010, Linda Lawrence’s column “Hope to see you at the polls” pointed out the obligation and privilege it is for each of us to vote—but we need to be informed. This column needs to be reprinted every election year.
