Trooper arrested at game appears in court

Isn't always nice when these guys get THEIR ticket? An adult throwing peanuts and coincidentally a State Patrol Officer. Aren't officers ALWAYS on duty?

And yelling that you're getting arrested is revenge for getting someone "DUI'd" up in Cleveland is quite lame.

Still, I'm sure ALL OF US have more than gotten away with speeding here and there and the State Patrol, in my experience, has always been fair ( except for one smartass... ), so lets cut this guy a break.

Fair Enough?

Youngstown police hiring policy changed

If they lower the passing grade from it's current 70% then I want my Doctorate Diploma from Yale University.

What is next? Fog a mirror now go to the front of the line, get your badge and maintain sensible community order without the abilities of lawful and compliant understanding of what doing the job and dealing with the public scum entails?

Who would be the winners in this new system of standards? It is supposed to be us, the citizens.

White, Black, Red, Orange, Purple, -I don't care what color the officer is in maintaining order in my community and backyard as long as there are enough officers CAPABLE of doing the job, BUT CONSIDERING LOWERING SCORE STANDARDS?

Why not simply have a White and Black officer, keeping pace with each others methods and exam language, administer the tests side by side to the applicants? Would that work?

If you're considering lowering the exam scores, then take the next logical step and auction the job off on the courthouse steps to the highest bidder.

Also, I sincerely Thank You, everyone involved, in hiring these new officers as they are desperately needed.

Cruze fuels sales surge

My wife and I have seen the Cruze while out and about and I'm impressed!

When my Ford can't take the road anymore, I'm looking at the Chevy Cruze baby!

Krinos resigns, denies try at suicide

The man has resigned, and I'm happy he had, but celebrate quietly and move on. The citizens are rightfully too proud to act in a less than dignified way.

A look back at the concerts that made a mark in 2010

Great article / story! Reading it makes me WANT to go to these shows in Youngstown, It's great to hear / read from someone who'd been there firsthand. When these acts come around again I'll be getting tickets.

My wife and I had GREAT seats for Sir Elton John.

Well, anyway, great story. Thanks.

New GOP vs. old GOP

@ Jessiedavid:

WOW! I checked out that link you posted in comment six and indeed it is loaded!

Sounds like Betras and Hagan want to get into everyones home and strip them of their privacy. Even Bruce Zoldan stated that Chairman Humphries shouldn't privately host while he is Chairman.

Ya know, for these guys supposed to be community leaders, they sure are childish and not very intelligent about how they resolve issues.

Hard to state the obvious, as I am a Democrat, but Betras and Hagan need to go.

Broken Lives - In God We Trust

I wish I could believe in addicts getting rehabbed, but I don't.

What I do believe in is getting these addicted people out of our town so the rest of us can start stabilizing and rebuilding our town and families without the addicts b**lls**t again and again and again coming to the forefront causing problems for everyone.

And what kind of woman would date and have the child of an addict? Just how stupid and mindless can people, even the youth, be?

If addicts want to kill themselves with dope, why not offer them legal executions and save all of us the headaches.

Don't want to sound insensitive, but too bad if my comments offend. Aren't we all tired of losers and the misery they bring.
