| Roseville prison going to the auction block
ZANESVILLE - The old Roseville Prison will be on the auction block this summer, during the county's annual auction of surplus property.

DePaul in a position to control its own destiny
Whether or not it was a direct result of the inconvenient truth that earned Al Gore an Oscar, early spring in most of the country was indisputably inconvenient for softball teams from the western borders of the Big East to the southern reaches of the ACC.

Little red truck sold — again and again
The auctioneers weren't the only ones who showed up night after night at the 40th annual Rotary Radio Auction in Cadiz last week. A 3-inch-tall toy Coca-Cola truck donated by Lou Stea recently was bought and donated back 12 times in the final two nights of the auction. The annual event funds scholarships and grants for students as well as various community projects. People have donated and bought everything from bales of straw to wall hangings. Most items brought at least $100, and many brought much more. Little red Coca-Cola truck, sold: $250. A guest spot on the WKDZ afternoon show "Bill Booth Live Afternoon Drive" sold for $450, a large disappointment to Sheila Harris who originally bid $325 and raised it to $405 before getting outbid. "It's a big deal for me to bid $325," the single mother said.
