  • LETTER: Don’t be fooled by McConnell

    Sen. Mitch McConnell, as usual, let his anti-worker attitude show through by supporting a national right-to-work bill. I’m not surprised as he is paid big bucks by companies that don’t want to pay their employees good wages and benefits.

  • COLUMN: Thanksgiving Day is not for shopping

    Yes, I’m one of those crazy people. Those people who get out at 4 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving in the crowds, the traffic, the noise and the shopping lines. But it’s not for the best deals and it’s not because I absolutely have to have that $200 laptop (Limit five per store).

  • LETTER: Today’s problems have an answer

    Where did we go wrong and how can we fix it? Speaking with 66 years of experience, it seems to me that our society and the world is only a shadow of what it once was. Whether watching the news or reading the paper it is becoming more apparent that the goodness of the people, which we once took for granted, is becoming more and more unheard of.

  • LETTER: Spencer is fortunate to have Sheriff Stump

    Once again, Sheriff Buddy Stump has proven his ability to run the office of sheriff in a safe, professional and efficient manner.

    Our staff had the privilege of covering two events specifically at which veterans and their contributions to the country were in the center.

  • Take action to stop bullying now

    A stunning (in all the wrong ways) situation is being uncovered in the NFL — particularly with the Miami Dolphins.
    The nuts and bolts of it are this: A second-year player left the team to seek help and/or treatment after allegedly being bullied by at least one, if not more, of his teammates. The alleged bully has a history of offenses and suspensions and has now been indefinitely suspended by the team. Most in the sports world expect that the Dolphins will ultimately cut ties with the bully completely.

  • COLUMN: It’s almost time for fall cleanup

    The day after Halloween proved to be a decent day, with sun and lighter winds. Halloween night, I thought some of the trick-or-treaters might be blown away. It was a rough time to be outside.
    The wind also stirred up a bunch of the litter that has been added to our roadsides. For the life of me, I cannot understand why everything must be thrown out the window as we drive our roads. It’s so simple: Keep it in the car or truck, and dispose of it in the proper way.

  • LETTER: A heartfelt thank you

    At time when it seems the world has turned upside down and no one cares for other people, a special act of kindness will prove that untrue.
    Several days ago, I came out of the grocery to a heavy downpour. After waiting a few minutes, I decided to make a run for my car. The rain only came down harder, so I pushed my cart up to the side of my car and I jumped inside.
