Sheriff Overmyer buttons up

Excerpt from "Between the Lines" column in today's Sunday Register, May 20, 2012: The alleged abuse at the Sandusky County jail happened in January and was first reported by the Register in February. But since then, sheriff Kyle Overmyer reached an agreement with one of the fired jail guards to pay the guard $5,000 to go away, quietly.

“The agreement also stipulates Overmyer and the (fired jail guard) will not make disparaging remarks about each other and will not discuss the settlement.”

BLOG: Brains rattle at Cedar Point's Math & Science Week

At some level, gravity is what makes every ride at Cedar Point the ride that it is.

The butterflied stomach you get every time one of Skyhawk’s swings reaches its apex is the lack of gravity giving you what feels like a quick moment of weightlessness.

Foreclosure Stories: Is FHA no better than Fannie and Freddie?

Karen came into our offices recently with a story which is yet another sad reminder of how the government entities meant to encourage and protect home ownership in America are either looking the other way when it comes to enforcing the rules prohibiting the banks’ bad behavior or have simply just thrown in with the banks altogether. This time, it’s the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) which is the culprit.

FIT CHALLENGE: Wessels returns to normal workout schedule

On the fourth of this month, Register reporter Tom Jackson wrote a blog referencing the qualities of Warren Harding, asking whether he was the greatest president of all time. I’m not going to argue the merits of President Harding, but I do want to thank him for providing me with my theme for this week’s blog.

BLOG: Cedar Point's Dinosaurs Alive! has bite

What do you call a colossal, enormous, gigantic, huge, hulking, humongous, mammoth, massive dinosaur?

A Thesaurus.

Sorry. That works only on writers and dinosaur enthusiasts.

Let me try another one.
