Stone: A not so heavenly tree
You are reading the gardening column, you know me, and you have at least heard of, but maybe not experienced the spotted lanternfly firsthand.

Bipartisan pair of county sheriffs endorse Senator Brown
Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn and Lucas County Sheriff Michael J. Navarre endorsed U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown’s bid for re-election at a news conference Wednesday that highlighted Mr. Brown’s efforts to combat the spread of fentanyl by cracking down on chemical suppliers in China and drug traffickers in Mexico.

Sheriff Navarre, a Democrat, said that Sheriff Wasylyshyn, a Republican, would take a lot of political heat and lose votes by endorsing Senator Brown. “Being here today takes a lot of courage,” he said. “But Mark believes in doing the right thing. I’ve learned a lot about Sherrod Brown since he was first elected and have learned that he is a very strong supporter of law enforcement. We don’t have enough supporters in Washington like him.”
