Here in Northeast Ohio is a group of people dedicated to spreading Random Acts of Kindness (RAOK) to bring a bit of cheer into the lives of the residents around them. This group is called Northeast Ohio Rocks. These RAOKs come in the form of hidden painted rocks. It may seem like a small insignificant thing but sometimes it's the small gestures that can make a big impact in someone's day.

Hosted by Frack FreeOhio and United Citizens Action Network (UCAN), Save the Wayne Fundraiser is an effort to help preserve and protect our public lands. The Wayne National Forest is under threat from the expansion of fossil fuel development due to the auctioning of land for hydraulic fracturing by the federal government.

The Bureau of Land Management is holding another auctioning of 1600 acres or 33 parcels of land in Wayne National Forest for fracking with an additional 38,000 acres potentially on the chopping block in the future. It is time to step up and lean in. While it is uncertain when fracking will begin, Ohio must organize and prepare a multi-faceted defense.

Recently our community learned that Brigitte Coles, News Anchor at our local TV station:  WMFD has been faced with a tragedy.  After a bout with some other recent medical issues Brigitte has been diagnosed with Spindle Cell Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer.  She has a long road ahead, starting with radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy.

Back in the summer of 2015 when a friend of the writer of this article was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer Brigitte was the first to climb on board and offer her persona and position to help raise money for a man she never met before.   This single act is a testament to her character and is an example of how she strives to treat everyone in the community that she serves.
