MILLERSBURG — For her role in removing a change machine from a Millersburg area business, a local woman on Thursday was sentenced to local jail time. Kimberly Foster, 27, of 625 Kenton Alley, Apt. A, Millersburg, previously pleaded guilty in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to an amended charge of attempted burglary. In exchange for her guilty plea, a related charge of theft was dismissed. The state also agreed to dismiss an unrelated charge of aggravated trafficking in drugs (meth). She'd faced up to three years in prison, and while Judge Robert Rinfret imposed a term of two years, he suspended that in favor of five years of community control sanctions, to include six months in the Holmes County Jail. Rinfret said he considered her relatively clean record, her current employment, her obligation to her four children, three of whom she has custody, and restitution payments in electing a non-prison sanction. Already she has paid $660 of a $3,770 restitution order. Nevertheless, Rinfret said, “There has to be a punishment for what you did. There has to be some kind of consequence.” He further said he would consider reducing both terms of incarceration and probation when Foster meets her full financial obligation. However, he said, failure to do so or any violation of a court order, would trigger the imposition of the prison sentence. At her February plea hearing, Foster said the burglary was motivated by an addiction to drugs, prompting Judge Robert Rinfret to make routine drug…

After the Seven Years’ War broke out in Europe, America was on the verge of having a war of its own.

Both England and France claimed the area. Soon this argument over the ownership of the Ohio River Valley, paired with an already existing war between the two powers in Europe led to the French and…

The buildings, hustle and bustle, and general atmosphere are reminiscent of small town organization, but just a mile away Oakley looks like a suburban shopping destination represented by several large chain stores, sprawling empty, parking lots, franchise restaurants, and easy highway access. Oakley has reorganized and reshuffled. It would be nearly impossible now to recognize it as the worlds…

In exchange, Pickering had returned to the Senecas most of the land they had lost under the 1784 Treaty of Fort Stanwix. The agreement Pickering and the Six Nations had reached, in the form of the Treaty of…

He would not sign a treaty if it meant they would have to concede their land, hunting areas. But the American’s kept pushing and pushing the Indians further and further off their land. The few things we did give them was diseases, hunger, and broken treaties.
