@kbyerREP @CantonRepdotcom Or from @DKaneREP - “If you’re really good-looking and you’re dead, it’s like you’re set.”

@alison__matas @CantonRepdotcom Do share some excerpts!

I’m packing up my office and just stumbled on my list of overheard @CantonRepdotcom staff quotes (which I haven’t looked at in 2+ years), and now I cannot stop laughing, what a gift

@kbyerREP @CantonRepdotcom One time @dserenoREP ate a cookie with coconut and then said, “Like a rat that just ate the poison, I felt remorse.”

Reappearing to Twitter only to share a picture of my son for #NationalDogDay

I would just like to point out that Ohio's "come live here" website is morethancornfields.com, and yet our new license plate is (mostly) just a picture of farmland.

@carolinematas Why is no one asking about sand hand? I have many questions about that.

@kweirREP Alison Mates forever! Love that this is still up. I have been thinking about you and this series a bunch lately!!!

⁦@alison__matas⁩ You may change your name on Twitter but you’ll always be Alison Mates to me. 😂 (Yes, this still is up on the wall.)

Stark County is home to 15 of these nonchartered, nontax supported schools. @alison__matas and I dug in to find out all about them a few years ago with a two-part series and profiles of each school: cantonrep.com/article/201412…

We, personally, have purchased MANY.

So proud of our awesome Habitat students and @smitty1408, who is the best teacher ever.

What a beautiful and relatable column. poynter.org/reporting-edit…

Some puppy fun out in the sun! First family hike! @metro_parks We love Sand Run Metro Park! 😎🐶👩‍❤️‍👨

Habitat for Humanity East Central Ohio, which includes Stark County gets a 6-figure grant from Republic Services cantonrep.com/story/news/202…

Stark County is back to red on the COVID-19 alert map, but Gov. DeWine says not to 🙌 yet because it doesn't necessarily mean things are improving. He said the way the alert map is designed, counties that were purple fall back to red even if they plateau.

@shane_hoover1 @CantonRepdotcom The Repository is losing one of its best reporters. Good luck in whatever comes next.

Well, it’s official. Today is my last day reporting for @CantonRepdotcom It has been an honor to cover Stark County for almost two decades, but it’s time to move on. Just want to say thanks to my great coworkers and to the readers who make our crazy job possible.

Thank you to Pam for having us on this morning (and for being such a loyal @ReStoreStark shopper!)

Our first snow, Kozmo is indeed loving this weather! 🐶☃️❄️
