I read where we can walk our dogs in every city park except South Sippo. Can anybody please explain to me why that is? I mean South Sippo is part of the walking path, and it's just ridiculous that we cannot walk our dogs there.   

Today is July 31st at 9:15 a.m. I would like to thank the young man in the blue car that drove past my house and offered to help me take out my trash cans. I really appreciate it. He was a good blessing.

The column by Dana Milbank “Time to deport Baltimore?” was right on the money. I was laughing and commenting out loud all the way through it. It sure hit the nail on the head.

For all you complainers out there about the workers fixing our downtown Massillon. No big deal. It takes a few minutes to go around the city then get back on. The guys are doing a great job and it will be worth it in the long run. Also, our Massillon cops deserve our appreciation as well for all they do for us.

Do people not realize what an amphitheater is? It's an open space with seats — usually circular and sloping — so people can enjoy a show. There was a comment recently about wanting to feel the breeze. Hello! Not to worry, you'll feel the weather, cold or hot. It will be so great to have something like that in Duncan Plaza. Why is it so hard for everyone to agree on that? Massillon offers great concerts and other events all through the summer. We should have an equally great place to enjoy the activities. The mayor is right to push for it, and The Inde was right to support it. Come on citizens of Massillon, let's get behind it and encourage City Council to move forward. We deserve this.

Is it legal for the Amish to come through the side streets of Massillon calling out on residents if they want to buy fresh baked goods from their buggy? And when the horse defecates on the ground in front of your house, street, or yard and they don’t clean it up, whose responsibility is it? Just wondering.
