To celebrate those who are making our communities better places by helping others, we are bringing back a special Enquirer feature that profiles “Hometown Heroes.”

        We'd like to have your nominations of people you know who are heroes in their hometowns and communities in Butler and Warren counties.

        We also want to celebrate the groups and organizations whose mission is helping others, trying to lift up the downtrodden, and improving everyday life in their communities in Butler and Warren counties. These groups will be profiled in “Hometown Help.”

        Janet C. Wetzel, a veteran Enquirer reporter who retired last year, will report and write these new features.

        They will be coming soon to your Enquirer. Watch this space for details.

        And in the meantime, please send your nominations for Hometown Heroes and Hometown Help to Mrs. Wetzel at jjwetzel@siscom.net or by calling (513) 423-8128. You also can e-mail Ohio Suburban Editor Dan Sewell at dsewell@enquirer.com with your nominations.
