  • Hope Springs Eternal0

    Jim Webb

    I heard my favorite words of February this past weekend. Pitchers and catchers will be reporting for Spring Training. To me, that’s like seeing the first robin. A sure sign spring and the Boys of Summer are on their way. There’s no truth to the rumor that the Pittsburgh Pirates were the first club to

  • Thank a Veteran0

    Steph Nordstrom

    Last year on Veterans Day I wrote a list of ‘thank yous’ to soldiers—past, present and training. Re-reading it was a stark reminder of all the things civilians take for granted in everyday life, so I think that it bears repeating. So to all of the men and women who are serving in each branch

    Larry Stout

    Back to school time! It seems to get earlier each year. What happened to those days when you went back after Labor Day?

    Summer sailed right by and all area schools are now open for the 2015–2016 school year. The words ‘school is open, drive safely’, always ring out this time of year.

    Jim Webb

    Political correctness has become the way to silence the majority in our Nation.
