PUBLIC FORUM: Press still has surviving staffers

Anonymous Pharos-Tribune Sun Dec 02, 2012, 05:59 AM EST

— This is in reply to the letter from Nancy Rider of New Smyrna Beach, Fla. (Pharos-Tribune, Nov. 28): First of all, I send my condolences for the loss of your mother, Glendora Ridenour. My response to your letter is Russ Williams and your mother were not the last living staffers from the Logansport Press.

My father, Bob Wilson, is still alive. He worked for the local paper for 42 years. During this time, he became foreman for the morning Press when Logansport had both morning and evening papers. My father remembers Glendora. He told us she was secretary to Pete Sullivan, manager of the morning Press. He talked about Glendora getting her pilot’s license and taking some of the staff for plane rides.

Dad also remembered Russ Williams, who was a composing room apprentice.

I do believe Richard Cox is still around Logansport. He also worked for the Press as a linotype machine operator in the composing room.

Yes, the former Logansport Press was very well written. It was geared to our community. Unfortunately, time marched on, and today’s paper is loaded with all kinds of news — local, state, national and world. Thus leaving little time for reporters today to be so detailed about community gatherings.

Those were the good old days we all miss so much.

PUBLIC FORUM: Mayor tells residents of positive change
When the residents of Logansport elected me as their new mayor in November 2011, it was truly an honor.
Our city was battling back from a devastating loss of 1,500 jobs in five years, a recession that wasn’t letting up on the household income of our residents, a divided fire protection commitment in our county and an overall sense of loss in our community.

PUBLIC FORUM: Say thank you during National Nurses Week
Having an unsuspected or immediate need for medical attention can be a traumatic event for just about any person. In our current healthcare system, there are entirely too many unknowns.

PUBLIC FORUM: The reality of a new American Promise
Fracking. We’ve all heard the term lately. Fracking is the process whereby water and other chemicals are injected into the earth to cause underground rock formations to fracture, creating space for oil and natural gas to collect and be pumped to the service.

Do you think an Ohio prosecutor should seek the death penalty against the man accused of imprisoning three women at his home for about a decade and forcing them to suffer miscarriages?
