Officer Down
November 30, 2007

The injuries suffered by Sgt. Bryce Bezdek during a high speed chase last weekend has caused much heartbreak and second guessing within the law enforcement community.

The Waiting Game
November 1, 2007

Life as a reporter can be fun and exciting. Not today.I am sitting at the Sharonville Sheraton waiting for Kroger and its worker’s union to hammer out a new contract before midnight tonight. The possibility of a strike looms overhead.This is life or death stuff to both sides. Kroger stands to loose millions if the [...]
