Dale Robinson survived secret WWII disaster before landing on Utah Beach
Dale Allen Robinson was born in Mount Vernon, Ohio, on Oct. 27, 1916. He was the third of four children born to David and Rosa Robinson. In the 1940 census, he was listed as working on the family farm near Bladensburg. Sometime afterward, he moved to Sharpsburg, Ohio, where he worked as a truck driver before being inducted into the Army on Feb. 5, 1941, at age 24. While stationed at Fort Knox, Dale returned to Stockport, Ohio, and on Feb. 3, 1942, married 21-year-old Lorna Tullis at her sister’s home. He was assigned to Headquarters Company of the 746th Tank Battalion, where he served in the reconnaissance platoon. The 746th trained at Camp Rucker, Alabama, before moving to Camp Pickett, Virginia, in October 1943. In January 1944, the battalion moved to New York and, on Jan. 29, sailed aboard the RMS Aquitania.

City schools turn Veterans Day into a lesson in honor and service
While many schools will be closed in observance of Veterans Day, Cambridge City Schools students will spend the day honoring those who served. For the 2026-27 school year, Cambridge City Schools will hold classes on Nov. 11, allowing students to participate in Veterans Day activities, including the annual Guernsey County Veterans Day Parade and ceremony. To recognize the holiday, the district instead will close schools on Nov. 9, according to a release from the district. Students from district's high school, middle school and intermediate school will attend the parade and ceremony in downtown Cambridge, weather permitting. The parade will begin at 10 a.m. at the municipal courthouse on Highland Avenue and proceed down Wheeling Avenue to the Guernsey County Courthouse. The Cambridge High School Marching Band is scheduled to perform as part of the parade. Then students will gather on the courthouse lawn for the ceremony honoring local veterans. The experience provides students with a meaningful opportunity to learn about military service and the importance of national observances such as Veterans Day and Memorial Day, according to Superintendent Dan Coffman. “I believe part of what we should do as a school district is to help our students understand what being

The most harmful part of Cambridge’s divestment debate wasn’t the vote
The Cambridge City Council voted Wednesday to divest from companies “contributing to genocide, apartheid and occupation of Palestinians.” (“Cambridge votes 5-4 for order to divest money from businesses involved with Israel’s actions against Palestinians,” Oct. 28.) As a Muslim, parent, health equity researcher and longtime Cambridge resident, what stuck with me more than the vote was the language preceding it. Before the vote, I sat silently as a city councillor used her platform to spout debunked propaganda and dehumanizing rhetoric. When she said the population of Palestinians was still rising, so it could not be genocide, it felt like she was saying that not enough Palestinians had been killed, like we were talking about insects that needed to be exterminated.

Meetings air concerns about proposed short-term rental regs
LOGAN- A series of meetings were held in the commissioners’ office this week to discuss short term rental ordinances and allow for community members to ask questions and provide input before any decisions are made. Among the concerns raised at the meeting was added financial pressure from the new regulations. Local STR owner Marie Liptak explained that the annual $50 fee for a permit to operate a STR adds to the financial difficulties that she and other owners are facing. “The state next year is going to make all STRs into commercial properties, and that’s going to affect us yet again because of all the taxes that we’re already paying. Because we pay our 6% every month, and now the unrealized gains from our property taxes on top of our property taxes,” Liptak said. “That $50 fee a year, it’s more money out of our pockets. I don’t know about the other owners. We’re barely breaking even at this point.” Liptak also explained that Airbnb is now changing rules for owners, disallowing them from asking for IDs and rental agreements, making it more difficult for her and other property owners. She stated that she was concerned about big corporations taking

Newark City Schools superintendent to step down at start of 2027
Newark City Schools Superintendent David Lewis will step down at the start of 2027 to pursue a new professional opportunity, the district announced. In September, Lewis told district staff that he planned to retire at the end of the 2026-2027 school year, but moved that up to Jan. 1 after accepting an offer in another field, a news release states. The district hired Lewis in June 2020 after he spent seven years as superintendent of Miami Trace Local Schools in Fayette County. “This was not an easy decision, because Newark has meant so much to me,” Lewis said in the release. “I am grateful to our staff, families and Board of Education for seven wonderful years. What makes this district special is its people, and I know Newark Schools will keep building on the momentum we have created together.” During his tenure, the district opened a food pantry to serve students experiencing food insecurity and created the Alternative Academy so students could catch up on credits to remain on track to graduate. Lewis also helped lead the relocation of the preschool program into the former State Farm building . The program was previously across four facilities, and staff said the
